My sweet kitties love my recycled circles pillow. (Okay, they really just love being on the sofa with me.) It reminded me to remind you that I have a instructional video download for sale showing you how to make Recycled Circles.

This video shows you some examples of my Recycled Circles.

In fact, I have three different instructional videos:

From Art Journaling to Art

I taught another workshop at San Clemente Art Supply, recently. This one was my popular Recycled Circles ~ mixed media on paper. Thought you'd like to see some pics of some of the fabulous student work.

That's me teaching in the great classroom at San Clemente Art Supply

Happy teacher me!

I'll be teaching at San Clemente Art Supply again, on May 4, Stamp Design and Carving. Save the date! Registration will open soon. 

Here's a video of some of my fabric recycled circles:

The beauty of my recycled circles project is it can be done on a paper substrate or with fabric, as an art quilt. The video below is an instructional video for the fabric version.

"Indigo Dance" 12x12 inches IN PROGRESS ~ Recycled Circles by Jane LaFazio

Workshop in a museum at Visions Art Museum, San Diego

Last week, I taught my ever-popular (thank you!) workshop "Recycled Circles" at Visions Art Museum in San Diego. It's a great workshop (if I do say so myself) as an introduction to art quilts. And all these small art quilts were created in just one day.
Take a look at this cool student work:

I just returned from teaching a one day workshop in Recycled Circles. It's always a fun class, and as you can see, in the photo below of the student work, it's always a success!

I also teach a Recycled Circles workshop with paper as the base, and we use paper and cloth for the circles. There  are a few spaces left in my class at the art retreat Art is You in Petaluma, California on Friday, September 26. Details on Recycled Circles workshop click here.

Read about Art is You in Mingle magazine this month!

Recycled Circles DVD giveaway

Layered and Fused Appliqué Quilts: From Fabric Scraps to Recycled Circles with Jane LaFazio is my newest instructional DVD. I love this technique and have taught it nationally for a number of years. It's so darn flexible, and every single one is a success. Really.It's not difficult, it's great for beginners, and could even be adapted for kids. You just have to follow the directions, and not try to second guess me. Here are some of my Recycled Circles throughout the years:
