Monday Bits and Preparing…

Monday morning bits…

Latest art journal page

Came out of a doodle session in front of the t.v., using Pitt artist pens and a water soluble pencil.

 

The color was done this morning with InkTense pencils and a blending brush.

The quote from Leonard Cohen just kind of fit.

The drawing is pretty cracked, don’t you think ?

A rainy weekend has given way to a still rainy Monday.

I have to find my bright in the sunshiny faces of the marigolds right now.

But that’s okay !

I am going to be putting on my new purple Keen Venice shoes that are waterproof,

grabbing my arty buddy Colleen,

filling the Rogue-y with lots of art materials and vino,

and heading north to the shores of Lake Champlain in Vermont,

on a sweet art making adventure with

the amazing

Elizabeth Bunsen !!

Elizabeth has been preparing her lake house studio to receive Colleen and me for a special workshop where she will be sharing her juicy techniques for dying natural fabrics with a wide variety of  natural materials such as rust, eucalyptus leaves, bleach, etc…

There will be fun with paper too, and the creation of a small journal with all of our hand-made bits.

There will be walks on the shore to find stripy rocks !

Most of all, there will be creative time in a beautiful setting with open and beautiful artist hearts !

I feel so very blessed to have this awesome opportunity and so grateful that Colleen and I will get to share it together. Thank you, my Friend !

We leave Wednesday, so the next few days are all about the gathering of all that will fit in the Rogue !

I hope your Monday is off to an exciting start too, Beautiful Ones.

Big Love !
