Catching Up
I have been feeling guilty about not blogging more regularly but I've never been one to keep a diary or journal; I figure I do this for my own enjoyment so why worry. A lot has happened since my last post. Everything is back to normal after the fires, I have unpacked our evacuation cases and put away all the papers and important bits and pieces I'd been carry around in my car. It's great to be able to relax again.
It's been just over four weeks since Creative Soul Retreat but it seems so much longer. I had an absolutely wonderful time, it was so nice to catch up ladies I hadn't seen since previous retreats and to meet others that I had only know online. I spent my two days there doing workshops with the lovely Stephanie Lee , it was fantastic. She is a great teacher and we had a lot of fun. Congratulations to Bevlea, she and her helpers did a fantastic job and I can't wait for CSR 2010. Here's some pictures of what I did in the classes.
Some bezels, I really enjoyed this but I need to practice a lot more. Marg and I have had a get together since to play around with what we learnt and we do plan to do its on a regular basis so hopefully I will improve.
The cover of the soldered book. I loved this class, flooding with the solder was great fun and I love the plaster pages; the feel of them and the noise they make when you open and closed the book. I still have to decorate the spine.
And here's a pic of what I did with the little houses from the swap. It doesn't show up very well as it's leaning on a wood bench but they are mounted onto an old fence paling. I've added some houses that I've received in other swaps as well. It makes quite a good village I think.

This is the start of a necklace, still more to do yet.

SisterArts
Marg and I have set up a Yahoo Group called SisterArts, which we will use to make announcements about workshops we organise and for students to share their art, inspiration and resources. We prefer to remain small, organising only a couple of workshops a year, ones we really want to do ourselves! So if you'd like to keep up with what we're doing you can join by using the Yahoo button in the side bar. Hope to see you there.

Ro Bruhn Workshop
We had a great day at Ro's altered book workshop last Sunday. She's a great teacher, very warm and giving, thanks Ro. These are a couple of the background pages I did.

Art Journey Retreat
What a great time we had the weekend before last at Art Journey Retreat. It was so good to do classes with such wonderful tutors and to spend time with some lovely like minded women.
On Saturday it was Atlered Ego with Misty Mawn. We did self portraits using gel transfers of ourselves and painting over them. Mine doesn't look anything like me, but it was fun doing it. I loved this class and will be practicing lots to try to improve my technique.
And Sunday it was Stone Soup with the wonderful Nina Bagley. Poor Nina had a dreadful cold virus thingy but soldiered on and did a fabulous job instructing us. I took workshops with Nina last year in Freemantle and couldn't miss the opportunity of doing another with her this time. My necklace isn't finished yet but I will get it done, I just need to search out a few interesting bits to add to it.
It was fantastic attending workshops with such great tutors and I thank them for their help and encouragement, they really were wonderful.
My Friday class was Graffiti Bouquet with Traci Bautista. This was really hard for me, I was so far out of my comfort zone but I'm so glad I did take this class. I'm not use to using bright colours but I'm going to try to do so more in the future. We spent the morning making background paper using several different techniques and then in the afternoon we collaged using these papers. I don't like my bouquet picture but I'm happy with the way the girl is turning out; I still have a little to do on her yet.

A wonderful deMeng weekend.
Such an awesome weekend, I had a wonderful time which was made even better by having some of my ArtyOz buddies there. Everyone turned out fantastic work, Michael really is an inspiring teacher, very giving and so humerous. I learned so much and I can't wait to do more. The weekend was a long time in the planing, and now sadly it's over. Marg and I were over the moon when Michael agreed to come to Melbourne, we were so excited to be able to organise the workshops, it was a lot of work but it was fun, we really enjoyed doing it.
Thank you Caro and Con for your hospitality, we're so glad you offered the use of Ancient Echoes, it's a terrific venue and you're great hosts. We'd also like to thank Jen Crossley, Power Tool Queen, for bringing along her tools for everyone to use, it was very generous of you Jen. And of course Michael, what can I say other than a huge THANK YOU, we had an absolute ball. I'm thinking a trip to Mexico might be on the cards for next year....
