Angela Cartwright Book Signing at Barnes & Noble

So last night Angela Cartwright signed copies of her books- Mixed Emulsions and In This House at The Barnes & Noble at the Grove In Los Angeles. This is beautiful store. It reminded me of the old G. Fox departement store in Downtown Hartford, CT. When I was little I would go there with my grandmother and I just thought it was so cool. It had a mezzanine level. (I love the word mezzanine) Anyway the signing was on the second level.
















She talked to the crowed about her background growing up with a professional photographer for a dad and her love of photography.

I asked her what her favorite technique was and she talked about her love of Gesso and all the cool things you can do with it. I was also curious to know what her success vs. failure rate was for when she creates her art. She giggled and said that she rarely chucks anything away (to the chagrin of her husband) and frequently resurrects it and it becomes part of a new creation.














Here is a photo of Kelly Kilmer, a wonderful artist and contributor to In This House, Angela, and myself. It was really nice to meet her. I was with the Executive Producer, Cherryl Greene of The Scrapbook Lounge on CraftTVWeekly.com, who incidentally new Kelly from back when she owned a scrapbooking store. Kelly is a great teacher who shares her creativity all over!












Thanks Angela!
