Working mom now!!! This is crazy!
Well I am a working mom now...LOL!!! That is funny because I worked before just for myself and in a way this is still for, me, only with the addition of a boss??
Crazy sounding I know!!
I am like a contracted teacher for the school and only work two days a week Tues. and Thus. days/ part time I am loving the people there and working with the students. I was nervous for nothing....they are the best bunch of kids I have ever worked with. I have had a few surreal moments, but that is to be expected with this line of work, with art and my students so called "handicaps." I have had a blast seeing the talent they poses and the potential there if someone would or will refine it and help to foster each kids natural ability. I am prayerful….that I will be that such teacher….. for each of my 48 students.

Some of my most popular art work.....
This is just a few of my most resent work. I have found that they are the most popular that is why I chose to publish these.......enjoy Chasity
Large jar called "new creation" this is a beautifully colored vase/jar creation with tones of amber, stone white, copper flack and black underglazes. I constructed it by throwing it on the pottery wheel and glazing it with four different complementary glazing techniques. I then placed and attached broken pieces of other pottery that had been broken through different mishaps. Thus, the name......

C.C.A.S. instructor Chasity L. entered 5 different pieces in different categories and won 2 Honorable Mentions for her photo entitled "Blue Winter" of the AZ painted desert during a winter storm. Her second award winning peace was for her mosaic called "Fun with beats and glue" a playful use of glass tile, beads paper and clear epoxy.
I am so happy to have entered and though we did not take the "BANK" so to speak, we had a blast and a wonderful experience. We look forward to next Year!!!
