Art & Soul Girls

Well, it was a very cool day today in my area and very nice in Santa Cruz. Beth who was in my Michael class in Art & Soul got us organized and together today! AND who is my online stalker! : )

Fun! My truck has decided to have brake problems and I wasn't in the mood for a wild toad ride on Highway 17, so my Michael was so sweet and drove me to Santa Cruz and spent the day by himself while I had about 4-5 hours with drooling art!

Beth is hiding behind the lady explaining her shrine here. This is Bev here. And Cecilia is the lady on the very left here. These are the ONLY photos I have because I was a dork and so excited being there that I forgot to take photos! Lucy Lee came too!

We shared art, food, laughter and sadness! That is what the journey is all about! I enjoyed the eye candy, the techniques and the art! Cecilia gave us each a book to use as our technique altered book! Beth gave us each a cigar box with goodies inside! wow! unexpected fun!

Cecilia hosted the get together and she has a beautiful house and I was not prepared to see her studio! OH MY GAWD! And her art is amazing! I am not going to try to describe it because I will not do it justice! I will hope for another opportunity to take photos!

AND Beth suggested CLEAR gesso for my canvas collage that I don't like, I think I don't like how shiny it is, and the CLEAR gesso has some texture to it and will tone it down! WHO knew there was CLEAR gesso???? Oh my gawd! I have to run and get some NOW! Giggle...ok not now, the stores are closed but tomorrow! Snort!

Ladies! Thank you for sharing your lives and art with me! It was a GREAT day!

Absolutely! I am finding some tomorrow to try to fix my canvas! It has some texture, and that appeals to me! Let me know how it goes with you and I will keep you updated on my canvas as well!
