Since everyone at Artfiberfest was so self sufficient this year (they always are at this retreat...something about women who love fabric...they seem more comfortable in their skin and just plain happy and contented)...well, anyway...since they seemed fine, I decided to do all my saturday work on friday afternoon at the retreat so I could take a class from one of my absolute favorite artists, Syd McCutcheon on saturday. It was called floozy folio and bag and involved painting on canvas with her signature bright and happy colors, then sewing it into a bag and making a journal out of the rest. Since I didn't have ANY materials from her list, I was relieved when she said it was fine if I take it. OMG...I had SO much fun....now I am really envious of all the attendees that get to come and play. what fun. Anyway...I had to show it to you all and am super excited to paint some more on canvas. see more of syd's work here (or on the next posts I will be putting up) http://sheepfloozy.blogspot.com/
I love it that you took a class!
ReplyDeleteI got to sit next to Syd for two days in a class with Jesse Reno! Now THAT was something! Syd AND Jesse!
Thanks for all the blogging! I am so happy with all the colors.
Do you mean to say the Lomo guy is coming to Art Journalers Adventure Club?
