Hard Landing


It's never easy coming back to reality after spending days playing with art supplies and laughing with friends, new and old.

As promised, here are a few of the things I created at the RAEvn's Nest Art Retreat.

The assemblage is the (almost) finished piece from Michael deMeng's class.

He was a wonderful teacher - witty and informative and not too 'directive', so everyone had a chance to use his techniques and run wild. One of the best parts of the class was the end, when we all got to show our works and he critiqued them - mysteriously finding only the positive in each one! (Thank-you Michael)

I'll pop another post up soon about Jill Berry's wonderful book making class.

How can entire days just fly by? Spend them creating with creative people surrounding you!

Blowing in the Wind


Okay. I decided that I absolutely needed to post some more photos on this here blog. 

Here's a taste of the ATC's (artist trading cards) that I'll be taking to trade during the retreat. . 

I like to package them in little bags with tabs on top. Must be the retailer in me.

I also spent a fun afternoon with my partner and sisters visiting a consignment shop. It's not like I don't have gobs of material for art projects, but there's something so seductive about a treasure in a dusty box...
