Thanks so much to our good friend Kati Driscoll for her kind words about Make/Believe on her excellent blog. Kati is a talented artist and crafter (See: Twamies, Cloverhunter), and a digital marketing/social media analyzing WIZ. Check out her blog, shops, Pinterest page and more for inspiration and thoughtful advice about running your creative business. 

X-RAY SPECS

Feeling ho-hum about your normal, day-to-day superhero garb? Take some inspiration from the Art Brainers, who have been hard at work on the latest in superhero fashion and technology (SF+T): super specs that either endow you with a new power, or enhance the ones you already have. 

A word of advice to any criminals and arch nemeses who may be prowling this blog for intel: steer clear of the DC/metro area. These superheroes now have the ability to freeze time, read minds, shoot lasers, and turn anything they see into a cupcake. If you think that last one sounds like a cute joke, we'll just see who's laughing when you find your bank heist foiled by a sea of strawberry frosting.

Our Winter after-school Art Brains classes are underway. Themes planned for this season include:

- Snow globes "through the wardrobe" (Narnia-esque and as opposed to last year's Glow  Snobes)
- Hybrid creature casting with plaster
- Chrysalis metamorphoses
- X-ray Specs (also known as Superhero Specs)
- Trophies, monuments, and valentines for pizza, pet dogs, meteor showers, and more

Happy New Year!
