The Sisterhood of the Traveling Paints

I have been to many art retreats before, but never have I grown so close to so many of the other people BEFORE I even got there. This will be like "Old Home Week". You are all so wonderful, friendly, sharing, and FUN people...........Ellen and Sallianne, you have assembled a grand group of teachers, classes, vendors and activities. I can't wait to meet the "Aussie Mum", to do journaling with Loretta, to bead with Annie, to learn from Lillian, to gift you all with my trades, to shop till I drop at vendor's booths, and to give big ole hugs to all of my new BFF's.....(Sue, CA)

Art Is...
The smoosh of a rubber stamp on crisp paper;
The whirr of the sewing machine piecing a block;
The clatter of beads being threaded on a needle;
The snip of a wire cutter attaching a clasp to a bracelet;
The tap of the painter's brush mixing the perfect sunset red;
The prick of a needle piercing layers of fabric;
The rip of watercolor paper being torn into signatures;
The squish of acrylics leaving a tube;
The hum of activity in a room full of dollmakers;
The giggles of artists making tiaras;
The greetings of artists not seen since last year;
The applause of generous artists at Show 'N Tell;
The sounds of lives changing;
The words of joy, the tears of happiness,
The bonds of friendship forged through art.
These things and more, are all what Art Is.
Art is waiting for you.

Running in Circles with Margot and getting a Wax job by Suze!

I believe what makes a good workshop great, is when the teacher shows enthusiasm and the genuine desire to share there passion.

Combine this with a roomful of artists and their innate need to “escape and create” and you have one very full, happy and creative day.

I was surrounded by fabulous women all drawn to Suze’s studio by the desire to spend time with her, with the magical Madge and with each other.

Both artists were kind, generous and genuine. Their creativity is unique and we all love and admire their work but it was spending time with them that made me feel like we were all just sitting on the lounge, eating cake, drinking coffee and putting wax, anywhere but on our legs!

P.S..looking for a great holiday gift for you or a friend? Grab Margot’s fabulous new book.

ART IS...BEAUTIFUL BOOKS

This year's inspiration came from the most wonderful book "Taking Tea With Alice" by Dawn Hylton and Diane Sedo. We thank both Dawn and Diane for their support in allowing us to use there work as the basis for our theme and associated activities.
