Before I share pictures of the fantastic weekend at Scrapbook Island, I need to share a few pics from a few days ago at Inspired in North Carolina. I know now why students have returned to Donna's event year after year (sadly this was the last year for the event in its present form... she's going to have smaller, more personal events at her studio in the future.) It is a great opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and try something completely different! I was able to do just that and take a couple classes before I headed out early for California on Thursday night. It was also so fun to see so many students and friends from across the country!
Peggy Lucas and I shared a room... it was so nice to have lots of time to chat!!!
Margie and Christy also taught workshops with me... they got to play too!
It was so nice to Paolo again! We spent lots of CKUs together in the "old days."
Here's what I created... (it's ok for just trying is out!) The first class I took was with Trish Baldwin where she taught us encaustic "stuff"... not sure what to call it... we collaged and layered wax and stamped and waxed and it smeared and I embraced it. I will celebrate it as my first attempt with this medium.
The second class I took was with Suzi Blu... painting princesses. Good thing she gave us already-drawn faces to color and then we added paint... I will finish it at home eventually (maybe :)
I took a late night flight to the West Coast and when I arrived, this lovely disaster with my suitcase welcomed me to San Fran! Luckily only one thing was damaged (they better reimburse me for that!) and they replaced the suitcase. I loved the comments on Facebook about what people thought happened to it! So funny! I finally made it to my hotel at 4am Eastern time!
Stay tuned for pictures from the Wonderland weekend at the Island!! I'm on my way home from San Francisco tonight on the red-eye. Hope I get to sleep!
Glad you had the "out of the box(es)" experience. Makes folding paper so soothing!! I prefer soothing. Finishing up John's "Proper Gentleman" album before the big party in Seattle.
