what is a soiree anyway?
i think it.s just a fancy name for a kickin party...
mr. webster told me this party needed to be getting it.s grove on when the sun goes down. if that.s the case then we bent the rules at last weeks seaside soiree.
we soireed for three days straight.
{so take that mr webster and stick it in your new and expanded version}
liz hicks
taught a class using a mixed media kit that is new on the market.
it had EVERYTHING in it that we needed.
{more info to come about those}
this particular kit was a sea based theme...
remember we were at the "seaside soiree" after all...
i didn.t finish mine..{not surprising} but the finishing touch
will be this mermaid which was drawn by suzi blu
michelle cummings
taught us how to make a crown out of chicken wire.
it was fun. it brought me back to my wire bending days in my dad.s orthodontic office. think how much fun i could have had if i would have been able to add beads and glitter to people.s braces!
my favorite class was hands down taught by this dear soul
alisa burke
she taught us how to take blank canvas from this...
to this....
to this.
it was a fun and get your hands messy kind of painting.
i loved it because messy is in my bones and the idea was to NOT think about
it too much and that is always good for my tired little brain.
most good students then took their canvas and sewed it into a clutch or purse,
here is my dear patrice helping my other dear kolleen get an "A" in class.
but i was always a "B" student and again...i didn.t get my work done.
it.s gonna turn into something cool though... i promise.

you can get alisa.s cool book on how to do this yourself right here...
shared her talents in our last project.
she had drawn an "elena" mermaid stamp for everyone who was at the soiree and we then stamped paper with her and added our own embellishments...mine was some sun and surf and again...didn.t finish.
{maybe i should be more concerned that i have said that
about EVERY single project we did???}
well before i get too worked up about it, i just want to say that although i didn.t finish even one art piece there, i was surrounded by friends old and new who i adore and the camaraderie {it.s spelled right...mr. webster said so}
was theee very best part of the whole darn party!
seaside + friends + art = the best new definition of soiree ever!
cultivate a new art project...even if you don.t finish it!
