Linda's Magic Workshop - Linda Britt Design

Today I'm in Jerome AZ at Nellie Bly learning to make kaleidoscopes!  Take a look at my previous post and you will see why I love kaleidoscopes and Nellie Bly.   http://www.lindabrittdesign.blogspot.com/2012/11/trip-to-jerome-az-changes.html That me multiplied! My classes today are by Sue Rioux  http://sueriouxdesigns.com/   (morning class) and Kathleen Hunt   http://www.kaleidoart.org/home.html   (afternoon class).  Every year Nellie Bly offers a weekend on October to take classes from great teachers where the students learn about how to make a kaleidoscope.  Now I get to attend! I have no idea where this will lead and what I will do with my new knowledge but I'll be sharing with you.  I'm so excited to be doing this!

OOOPS! It was brought to my attention that I should have written a caption to go with the video on my last post.  Had I known that I clicked the button to put it on the post, I would have explained why I thought Salvador Dali and Walter Disney’s short collaboration was worthy to share with you.  Not only do I admire Salvador Dali’s work and foresight http://www.salvadordali.com/  but I have a loose relationship with Walt Disney’s cartoons!  When I was young, many years ago, Carl W. Stalling spent two weeks a year in my family’s Missouri home.  My grandparents (on my father’s side) were taking care of their nephew, Fred.  When I was 9 yrs old, they all moved into my parent’s home and all of a sudden we had a full house.  Carl was Fred’s brother and came to visit him every year from Hollywood CA.  For two weeks every summer, Carl played our old upright piano and tried to impart his talent to my hands.  I know you are probably wondering what this has to do with Walt Disney a
