Art is You Australian Mixed Media Roadshow - the Art

 

I have been busy catching up on a lot of things since coming back from the Art is You Australian Mixed Media Roadshow - but most of all catching up with family and friends.  One of the most common questions I have been asked is what did I do?  A good question and one I can best answer you by showing you....

  

When I was invited to be on the faculty for the Art is You Australian Mixed Media Roadshow, I have to say it was both exciting and daunting....but I was quickly put at ease by Sallianne when she told me that she did not want me to reinvent the wheel...but to bring what I do to Art is You....

Tags - each one full of techniques
 

A handmade box to store them - again with different techniques

I have learned that once you learn a technique, you can use it on any medium - there are no limits, except those we set ourselves.  Don't be fooled by the tags - they took quite sometime to create - as those attending the Workshops will tell you...and the box...yes...lots more time - it was a 6 hour Workshop and we used every minute - but did manage to include lots of laughter!

 

A big THANK YOU to my generous sponsors

It would not be a Workshop of mine without some gorgeous Want2Scrap bling

 Along with running my Workshops on Saturdays and Sundays, I helped with the administration in a number of ways - it was all go from dawn to dusk....and totally amazing.

I do have to add, it is impossible to put into words an experience like Art is You - it is a total experience and life changing.  You cannot help but be inspired on many levels, moved by the love that encompasses the whole Retreat and the friendships that are formed - connections that will last a lifetime and enrich your life in ways you never imagined.

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

Art is You Australian Mixed Media Roadshow

Hello Blog Friends, as you can imagine we have hit the ground with our feet running and I have not had the opportunity for another update...so today I will do my best to give you a brief look at some of the NSW Retreat.

I taught my first all day Mixed Media Workshop and I have to tell you it was full on ... 6 hours of technique, Dies, bling, ink and fabulous,ours paper, glues and tape....the ladies all did a wonderful job and we had a lot of fun along the way.

Food was never an issue...or maybe it was because there was so much of it and the quality was fabulous.  A little sneak peek of one morning tea...

It was great to catch up with Facebook friends, Amy, Kel-lea and Meryll and meet so many new friends, all who have th same passion.

Also got to meet some of the amazing artists yet there eg. Jane Davenport, who is a bundle of energy.

Fell in love with Carol Cantrell, Jan Crossley and I adopted her as our 'Rent a Mum' .. She is the sweetest lady....(pssst Carol, I hope this makes me the favourite now! LOL! )

As you may have noticed I am way behind on my posts ... I could.d give you all kinds of fancy excuses but the truth is we are so busy each day that at night when I go to finish my post....sleep wins!  But I will post this tonight even if it is not finished.....

Our next stop was Berrima, on the way to Melbourne via Canberra...it was wet,meet, wet!  Unpacking the bags was a challenge....but thanks to Michael and Seth, under the watchful eye of Andrea, it all managed to be unpacked and packed up again.

Check out the rubbish...Rafferty's Resort packed some snack boxes for our trip

Okay, that is it for me tonight...tomorrow I will share Canberra and a little touch of Melbourne

Thanks so much for stopping by today...you know ai love to see you.  I appreciate all of the love and support along the way.
