...an artful journey {day 2}

{for those of you whose plane came in late, you can catch up on yesterdays post)

you awoke early today to the deep calm hooting of an owl.

while you slept, the earth was bathing.  still shaking itself off as you wander about.

after breakfast the creative explosion begins.

mati rose and kelly rae take center stage.

you learn an assortment of exciting ways to apply paint to paper and give it a go yourself.

                                                         monica                                                                     cathy

after lunch it.s on to collage.  cutting. ripping. stamping.  old papers. photos. tags. 

anything you can glue down is not safe in your wake.

your hands grow a new layer of skin 

(and you spend the rest of the night picking the gel medium off your fingers.) 

peggy and her darling daughter joli

after dinner you get to partake of (and spend a few bucks on) the talent 
oozing from the rest of the instructors on this journey.

lesley riley (above) dj pettitt.  nina bagley (don.t dare call her nee-na)
and albie smith.
you even find a few oddities you can.t help but take home with you. 

i mean who can pass up limbs for $1.00

the remainder of the evening is spent in the midst of laughter and budding friendships 
and of course creating until well into the wee hours of the morning....
it was... a perfect day!
