From the President’s Desk…
Hello again! I hope you have enjoyed the few days
we’ve had over 30 degrees! It has been a long winter but
Spring is here (even if you still can’t see the grass)! We
had an awesome turn out at the March meeting! It was
so wonderful to see everyone! What fun we had with
Larry and Jo-Anne’s projects. It is always fun to be able
to play with a new medium!
We also had a celebration with cake and painted
cookies! WMDPG formed a steering committee 30 years
ago this March. Donna Frost researched our beginnings
and gave us a report: organized 1985, Chartered 1987.
Happy Birthday to WMDPG and all its members!
I’m looking forward to Dotty’s surprise project
“Mystery Mixed Media”. Hope to see you all there again!
There are a lot of changes happening all around us.
Please take the time to read this newsletter cover to cover, as there is pertinent information here! For one, check
out Anne Wifholm’s report regarding NET!!! Dotty’s VP
Article will tell you what you need to bring to the May
Meeting! Everyone should also read the minutes of the
last meeting to refresh your memory on the topics. We
will be voting on a topic that may affect you (see page
14).
Cindy Cleary has donated many surfaces to
WMDPG. The Board will be organizing the ‘stash’ and it
will be up for sale at the May meeting. All proceeds from
this sale will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Foundation.
Please bring some $$ for this sale!
See you in May!

President, 2015
Dotty’s Details...
Thank you to all for coming out for our March meeting. It was so much fun to see so many of our members!
As a group we make the meetings fun. Our Business
meeting got over a little early, as did lunch, and we were
then ready to play with alcohol inks. Larry did a great job
sharing with us what he knows about alcohol inks and
how to use them. He had a beautiful center piece at
each table and lots of samples to look at and even purchase. By the time we were done everyone had enough
March 2015
knowledge to paint their tiles and decorate their wreath.
Thank you Larry for sharing your talent with us and making the beautiful centerpieces this month.
After we finished with our tiles, Jo-Anne was set up to
teach us how to paint cookies. I have never painted with
food coloring and really never thought I would, but JoAnne has opened up the world of painted cookies for me.
Thank you Jo-Anne, great job, and the cookies were delicious and the samples were lovely. I look forward to
making some for Easter.
What’s coming up next? In May I will be teaching the
afternoon program and am hoping it is still a bit of a mystery. The project name is Shades of Blue and the surface
is an 8” by 8” by 1 ½ “box. You will be bringing your own
surface and you may purchase it at Michaels. An 8 by 8
square piece of wood will work too but then you can’t
crackle the sides. Please sand, seal and paint your box
with two coats of a light gray paint. I used Dove Grey but
any light grey will work. In the first part of the class we
will be creating a fun and one of a kind background using
stamps, stencils and alcohol—no not the drinking kind.
Next we will work with colored pencils, then crackle the
sides of our box and accent our piece with silver leafing,
and then finish it by painting a lovely flower on the top.
We will even try stenciling with texture paste. The supply
cost is $8.00 and please bring the following supplies: your surface, a few favorite dark blue Prismacolor
colored pencils, two old brushes, one for silver leafing
and one for crackling, a silver key, butterfly stencils and
stamps (only if you have them), and your normal painting
supplies.
Lunch in May will be brown bag with some members
bringing dessert.
In September Maryse Roy will be teaching her "Stain
Glass Flower" design in a Saturday Workshop and for
the Sunday afternoon program she will share with us her
“Lilies” design. In November Leeanne Kelly will be teaching us watercolor holiday cards.
We are also planning a summer workshop on June
13th. Carol Howard will be teaching one of two beautiful
designs. Come to the May meeting to vote for the one
that will be taught.
Wow, our three day retreat is just around the corner.
The main plan is to have an enjoyable weekend painting
with friends. I hope to see you all there.
Hugs and blessing,

WMDPG General Meeting Minutes—Sunday, March 8, 2015
10:05 a.m. Pledge of Allegiance
Welcome - President C. Harrison welcomed all attending members and 4 guests.
OLD BUSINESS
Secretary - T. Joiner - The motion to accept the minutes as printed was made by M. Wiggin and seconded by N. Schlis.
It was passed without discussion and they will be filed as published.
Treasurer - C. Beers-Witherell - The members were informed that our account balance is above $20,000. We need to
spend $3,000 + in order to keep our balance under the limit necessary to maintain our non-profit status.
Newsletter: S. Hodgkins - The deadline for the next newsletter is March 21, 2015.
NEW BUSINESS
Membership - D. Fortin - We have 44 attending today’s meeting, 43 are staying for lunch and 31 are participating in the
afternoon project. At the present time there are 70 confirmed WMDPG members.
Vice President - D. Pullo Afternoon Programs, Workshops and Seminars
Today’s program is Alcohol Ink on tile which is being taught by L. Provencher. Thank you, Larry, for providing us with a
new technique class and a chance to try this product without having to purchase all the supplies.
The programs for the remaining 2015 General Meetings were confirmed:
May - Mystery mixed media project involving silver leaf - Dotty Pullo, CDA
Sept - Stained Glass Flowers - Maryse Roy. See website for a picture of the piece. Maryse will be teaching both the
afternoon program and the September workshop.
Nov - Watercolor Christmas cards - Leeanne Kelly
June - There will be an extra one day workshop in June taught by Carol Howard.
2016 Afternoon programs - Members are invited to bring possible projects to the September General Meeting. The
membership will vote on their favorite projects which will become part of 2016 afternoon program schedule. This plan
will be announced in the next newsletter so that interested teachers will have the summer to prepare.
May General Meeting reminder - The next meeting is on May 3rd. (1st Sunday of the month) due to Mother’s Day.
Lunches for 2015 General Meetings
May - Brown Bag. Desserts will be provided. We need volunteers to bring desserts.
Sept. - Catered
Nov. - Pot Luck
Today’s Birthday Cake - For all to share to celebrate WMDPG’s anniversary and all members’ Birthdays.
The Painter’s Retreat - T. Joiner/D. Pullo co-chairs - The plans were reiterated. Retreat date is April 17 th- April 19th.
There will be 3 Make it & Take it classes on Friday night, two classes on Saturday and three classes on Sunday. As part
of the retreat fee, a light meal will be provided on Friday night.
The Appreciation Seminar with Mary Svenson is free to all 2014 members. Although this seminar is being held in conjunction with the Retreat, one can attend just the Seminar and not have to pay for the retreat. A $20 deposit is required
to hold your seat and will be returned when you attend the seminar.
Saturday night activities will include a Dutch Treat dinner out and vendor tables along with entertainment provided by K.
Lafayette. She asks that you please brush up on your trivia and bring a big pocketbook of “stuff” in order to be prepared
for wild and whacky fun.
NET - A. Wifholm - It was announced by the NET Board that NET was no longer going to be printing copies of the Convention class catalogue. The catalogue will be available on line. A printed copy may be purchased - Print on Demand
from Amazon.com. This new development was discussed at the last Board meeting. A motion was passed recommending that if a Chapter member had attended NET in the last four years, the chapter would order and pay for their printed
catalogue. Extra copies would also be purchased for those members who would like to buy one at a discounted price.
Since this information must be published in the newsletter before being voted on, a vote of confidence taken at the meeting supported the idea. It was pointed out that there would not be time to vote at the next General Meeting on May 3rd
and have the printed copies in hand in time for the opening of registration on May 1st. C. Harrison passed out a sign up
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tole It To The Mountains
Volume 32, Issue 2

WMDPG General Meeting Minutes—Continued
sheet for all who want a printed catalogue. She will find out what the costs will be and place the order. She will also
send out a “shout out” to notify those not at the meeting and ask them to let her know if they want a printed copy. The
approximate cost of the catalogue is $13.00.
There will also be no monetary award for the art show winners and the show entry fees were going to be raised.
SDP Banquet Table Decorations - C. Harrison and N. Schlis have volunteered to work together to create table decorations for our chapter table at the banquet.
Annual Fundraiser Raffle 2015 - K. Lafayette requested painters and surfaces to provide raffle items by the May General Meeting. E. McMahon volunteered to donate a paint brush box. N. Schlis is donating a clock. D. Pullo will donate
a tray.
Painters Attic - J. Naugler described the continuation of the opportunity to rent a table at each meeting to sell painting
related items. Two people can rent a table for each meeting on a first come basis for FREE. Tricia Joiner signed up for
the November meeting. All other meetings are still open. A great way for members to turn items they are not using into
extra cash or to buy items at bargain prices. Items donated to the chapter by Cindy Cleary will be on sale at the May
General Meeting. Money earned will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Foundation. If you take a book from our book collection donated by L. Provencher, a contribution to David’s House would be appreciated.
Secret Pals - A. Wifholm said that there is a rolling enrollment. Members can still sign up and participate in the fun.
Please pick up your gift before leaving.
Hospitality - L. Kelly - Nothing to report.
Memory Boxes - M. Moses and J. Seastedt - Boxes are needed.
Egg Swap - In celebration of the upcoming Easter holiday an egg swap was held and enjoyed by all who participated.
Palette Potpourri – D. Fortin was the happy winner of the day.
Centerpieces - The beautiful table decorations were made by L. Provencher. We thank him for going the extra mile to
provide these along with teaching the afternoon program.
.
Brown Bag Raffle - will be back in May.
Adjourn - (11:15 a.m.) The motion to adjourn was made by E. McMahon, seconded by H. Joiner and was passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Tricia Joiner
WMDPG Secretary
The afternoon project for the

Thank you for choosing us as Volunteers of the
Year last year. The gifts were lovely! It has
always been our pleasure to volunteer at NET

met such wonderful people along the way had
so much fun!

As was mentioned at the May 2014 meeting,
WMDPG would like to extend an invitation to it’s

NET NEWS
New England Traditions painting convention kicked
off their 2015 meeting schedule on 2/21. Each committee chair usually reports to the group, but since it is early,
many chairperson(s) had little to report. Of interest is
that NET is truly alive and well considering the number of
artists who submitted projects to the committee. Fiftyeight teachers submitted over 250 projects! Class selection was being conducted after the committee meeting,
so when the meeting adjourned, the number of classes
was yet to be disclosed. Deadlines for project submissions by teachers was discussed and decided it should
be moved up to before the holiday season.
The convention artist is Cynthia Erickson.
There WILL be a vendor exhibit/sales in the convention center building as it has been in past years. Shuttle
service will, again, be provided. As last year, there will
be some sort of Saturday Night social, with a limited
number of tickets being sold. Currently this social is set
to be held in the big open area in front of the check in
desk area.
The Art Show will still be held. There will be no cash
prizes for artists who place. The cost of submitting artwork will increase slightly. (will advise actual cost in a
later newsletter report)
NET Catalogs will no longer be published and mailed.
This is a cost-containment decision. The NET Catalog
will
be
available
to
view
on-line
at:
www.newenglandtraditions.org The good news is -- it will
be available for viewing on April 1. The opening date to
registration has been moved up to May 1.
For those of us who love our catalog in hand, you can
either print a copy on your own home office system or
you may order a copy through Amazon. NET and Amazon have a "print on demand" agreement. There will be
a link on the NET site directly getting you to Amazon so
you can place an order for a catalog. Two options are
color on a good quality paper or color on glossy paper.
The exact cost of the "on-demand" printing option was
not yet available, but it is estimated in the vicinity of $13
to $15 for each bound catalog (includes shipping).
WMDPG had a lengthy discussion about the catalog
situation and the board decided to present to the membership the following proposal:
If you have attended a NET convention within the
Save the
date
October
7-11
past 4 years (not all 4, but any number), and if you want
a printed catalog, the guild will pick up the cost. All members will be provided with a registration page. Cindy Harrison graciously offered to place an order because she
has Amazon Prime and can avoid shipping charges.
Please let Cindy know if you would like to be on the list of
members who want a hard-copy catalog.
Many members were fine with viewing the catalog on
the NET website.
Anne Wifholm, NET Liaison
As Anne Wifholm has reported, the NET catalogs will
not be printed and mailed to the Chapter Members this
year. They are going digital. The WMDPG Board realized that this might cause some unhappiness to our
members. The Board passed the following motion:
“If a WMDPG chapter member had attended NET in the
last four years, the chapter will order and pay for their
printed catalogue. Extras will be purchased for those
members who would like to buy one at a discounted
price.”
We still do not know the price of this catalog, but
were told somewhere between $13-15 which includes
shipping. I have been taking names of people interested
in a hardcopy so that I may order them all at once. However, the Membership needs to vote on whether WMDPG
allots money from the treasury to pay for these books. If
the motion to pay is voted out, people will be responsible
for the cost of the catalogs

Society of Decorative Painter News—March 2015
If you are not going to the Annual Meeting of the Society
of Decorative Painters in May, please send in an absentee ballot. Mail your ballot by April 5, 2015. All ballots
must be postmarked no later than April 5, 2015 to count.
Last year absentee ballots made up almost one third of
the votes so Your Vote Counts!
Happy 30th Birthday, White Mountain Decorative Painters! We can celebrate for the next couple of years since
the Guild became a chapter of the Society of Decorative
Painters in 1987. I think Sue Hodgkins and I attended
the second organizational meeting held in Merrimack.
Elaine McMahon was also one of the charter members.
Who else? Members of Yankee Heritage decided it was
time to form a chapter further north. I think Tole ‘N Me
and Sea Strokes were formed by people who had attended White Mountain meetings. (Maybe Mary Frambach
could help put some history together.) And the other
chapters in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut were also offshoots of Yankee. Maybe Vermont, too.
This will be SDP’s 43rd Anniversary of the first meeting
organized by Priscilla Hauser MDA and attended by 21
other women.
We started off painting cute designs like geese with bow
ties and traditional stroke work but the entire field of decorative painting has progressed to numerous styles and
different media. In the beginning there was only oils!
Now there are colored pencils, watercolor and mixed media. And we no longer had to fly someplace to study with
a great teacher, we had and have some great teachers
right in our own neck of the woods who published and
became well known travel teachers. And each year wonderful teachers from all over come to NET.
I might have too many bottles of paint, more designs than
I’ll ever paint, and not enough time to finish all my undones (if I can find all the instructions) but I also have a
huge stock of memories and good times. A huge thanks
to all the officers, board members, teachers, and volunteers who have made all this possible! We’ve come a
long way, baby, and I think we’ve got a good thing going.
Happy Painting!
Donna Frost
Past President, The Society of Decorative
Painters
Sue and I originally met in a beginners class at a small
craft shop in Concord NH. Met again when we were
members of a craft cooperative in Pembroke NH and
kept seeing each other setting up to sell at craft fairs.
Other SDP members are surprised to hear that White
Mountain meets on a Sunday but back when it started,
some of the members owned shops and Sunday was the
best day for most people.
Our chapter grew quickly to become one of the largest
chapters in the United States. I met another member
who had moved to NH when we both taught at the same
shop, Crafts Plus, in Concord. She talked about all the
teachers she had studied with and I was amazed but one
of the reasons why she was able to take so many classes was because she attended the national SDP convention. The shop owner wanted to go to convention
that year and talked me into going and sharing a room.
Meeting teachers at convention was one way our chapter
seminar chair could find people willing to travel to NH to
teach. Remember, this was before websites and emails!
Many chapter members were thrilled to go to a chapter
seminar with a “Big Brush” so seminars filled quickly.
People joined chapters just so they could go to a seminar. So many members belonged to both Yankee and
White Mountain that the two chapters alternated hosting
a yearly retreat. And soon local shops decided bringing
in a famous teacher was a great idea, too.
Eventually, the simple weekend retreats became a mini
convention in NH called Mountain Magic with classes
and a trade show. And in 1998, area chapters banded
together to hold the first New England Traditions Convention!

Tips ‘N Tricks.…
I have been very busy for the past couple of months painting banners for the Lenten season for my church. I thought I
would pass on a few tips that I learned and used while doing them. Even though I was painting for my church, you can
use banners for lots of other places or groups that you might be involved with (classroom, library, organizations etc).
I know I have mentioned Pinterest before but I can’t tell you enough how inspirational it has been for me. Just type a few
words into the search bar and lots of ideas will start popping up. You won’t find patterns but if you are just looking for
some inspiration you’ll find it on Pinterest.
I had a few large walls to fill at my church and wanted something that might be able to be used again. Banners are great
because they aren’t that expensive to do and can be stored easily when you are done with them. I used Roclon canvas
that one might use for the linings of curtains. It’s not that expensive especially when you use a coupon at Hobby Lobby
or JoAnne’s. As soon as you get it home make sure to take it out of the bag and unfold it. Leaving it folded can cause
creases that are not easy to get out. (lesson learned the hard way for me) I now store my RocLon rolled up on an old
wooden curtain rod. When the banners are done they should also be stored rolled up.
In painting the background on my first banner, I rolled on a solid background and found that it takes a lot of paint to cover
it sufficiently. Bottles and bottles! I smartened up for the next ones though and experimented with sponging layers of
colors on. I loved the texture and depth that this gave me. The bonus was that it took much less paint! I also used a
large stencil brush to do some of the background and larger parts of the design which not only gave me some texture but
also was fast!
When painting a banner for a large wall or even your front door, remember that detail will be wasted. No one will see the
detail as they are driving by or standing far away, Go for the drama of bolder colors that will pop when seen from across
the room and a design that is large enough to make out from a distance. I normally love painting detail so this was a
good lesson for me in learning when to STOP! For these banners…less was better.
I will try to remember to bring pictures of the banners to the next meeting if anyone is interested in seeing them. I had
fun painting them and want to do more. In fact I have a daughter who is a teacher and I have lots of ideas for her classroom if only she’d let me loose in it! Jo-Anne Naugler—wouldn’t a ZenDoodled banner for your group be fabulous!!
Happy Painting

Teaching Opportunities...
Come one come all!
Secret Pals
Thank you to all who are participating in the Secret
Pal program. There were really pretty packages
sitting on the "Pals" table at the February meeting.
Remember if you cannot make a meeting to send
your pals gift with another member or you can mail
it to your pal --- but use my return address so it remains a secret!!
(Anne Wifholm; POB 162; Hollis, NH 03049)
With the blanket of the dirty snow on the ground it is
hard to believe our May meeting will be the last until
after the summer. Ahhh , what a nice thought.
it's never too late to sign up -- I'll find someone for
you!!
Anne Wifholm
POBox 162
Hollis, NH 03049
At our January meeting we asked for submissions from
our members who would like to teach an afternoon program. Think about it and if you are interested paint
something from now until the September meeting and
bring it in. You will have about 4 hours to teach your project. The cost of supplies needs to be reasonable and on
a surface that is readily available. If the project isn’t your
own design, no problem, but you must get permission
from the artist to teach it. White Mountain has a lot of
talented members and we would love to see what is on
your painting table. We will vote on the projects at the
September meeting. We are just not sure which month
you will be teaching. With your submission let us know
the cost of supplies and surface. I look forward to seeing
your pieces.
TDA note: Let us know if you are working toward your
TDA we would like to help you with your journey.
