PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Wow, what a couple of eventful months PHP has had. As
some of you already know, Redwood Elderlink has been
our painting location for some years and has gone through
some financial changes. We have known since the first of
the year that they lost their funding, so it seemed we were
waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it finally did! We
no longer have the use of that room. They tried to let us
use another room they have called Dittus Hall but alas it
just did not work out. We will meet, at least for the next
few months, at San Marcos Mobile Home Park. Teri
Hayes has been out beating the bushes looking for a new
spot for us and we have some real possibilities. When we
have chosen a place, we will let you know.
So, Marty Robson's class in November & our Christmas
Party will be at my place. Also I have to tell you because
of this, the date of the Christmas Party has been moved to
SUNDAY Dec. 8th. I sure hope this will not be a problem
for anyone.
Bobbie Takashima's class in Oct. was fantastic. It was
such a fun class. Bobbie is such a knowledgeable artist
and teacher. She always has so much to share with her
students, you really come away with a good feeling. She
is our best, local teacher and you should all take the oppor-
tunity to take from this world-renowned teacher right here
in your own backyard. Check out her website for classes
and pattern packets www.bobbieartstudio.com.
November is upon us already, and I am looking forward to
Marty's class, as the “winter scene” is so beautiful. And
besides that, we will also have our project vote for next
year. I know we have some wonderful pieces submit-
ted. So even if you are not taking the class, you can come
by and at least vote for next year's slate of classes. I know
Rady Children’s Hospital. Toys for the children, who are often alone, while
undergoing treatments during the holidays. A new, unwrapped gift
would brighten their Christmas. The ages are 2-17.
A hospital representative will pick up the toys at the party.
Gift Exchange:
Limit of $15. Bring a festively wrapped gift to exchange during this game. Participation is optional.
You may sign up with Charlotte.
Merry Christmas!
**Note: We are asking for Toys for Rady Children's Hospital. In the past we’ve collected things
for Elderlink but this year since we are having our Party at Sue’s Mobile Home Park, she would like us to participate in the Park’s food drive for needy Park members. The President of Sue’s HOA and
the Park Manager were thrilled to hear we would do this for them. Let’s show our appreciation for using their community room for our events and extend a helping hand to those in need!

3 Ways you can improve your liner skills
without practicing....
1. “The brush is a loser!” A good liner brush is either cut to keep a point or made to snap and zip around like a sports car.
A bad liner brush looks like it has been electrocuted
and flops around without snap.
It might just be time for a NEW brush.
2. “The brush should be ALL WET…”
Swishing a liner in water and setting it aside for 2-3 minutes before using will improve the flow of paint,
that's a scientific fact!
3. “A Loaded liner is a better liner…” A well loaded liner brush is key to great liner skills.
Place the bristles onto a thinned puddle of paint ( don't stab at the paint) Pulling back towards your shoul-
der as you leave the puddle. A liner brush is one of the few brushes that should be fully loaded all the way up
to the ferrule... a good liner is designed to release paint to the tip once it's fully loaded.
These 3 techniques don't take any practice, you'll have prettier liner skills today!
Shared by Patricia Rawlinson., Creative Arts Lifestyle in a newsletter email.
More Tips : 2 –4 Shared By Leslie Pilcher….. 2. “A glass top on your painting table is wonderful.” Put round, felt furniture glide stickers between the
glass and the table, so you can slide your instructions and photos underneath. The glass cleans up with water,
vinegar (or Lift-Off) and an old credit card will scrape up the paint.
3. “If you don’t know about Motsenbocker’s Lift-Off Latex-Based Paint Remover”, go to Home Depot
and get some (Paint Department). Cleans acrylic paint out of clothes and off the floor and other surfaces.
4. “The pumps on the empty travel bottles at Container Store” fit the 2 oz. and 8 oz. bottles we use per-
fectly. Buy the big (or small) bottle of Deco-Art Magic Brush Cleaner and replace the top with the
pump. Make sure the straw is the proper length, i.e. reaches to the bottom. You can hold your dirty
brush(es) in one hand and use THAT WRIST to pump cleaner into the palm of your other hand and then
massage your brushes in your palm. You don’t have to put the brushes down to squeeze cleaner into your
