Gretchen and I attended Donna Downey's Inspired Artist Workshop and crammed as much as we possibly could in the little time we had. We both had to be back home on Friday, so we couldn't stay for the main event, but we took full advantage of the mini-workshops being offered on Thursday. And, we shopped until we dropped! We are already planning our return next year!
Here we are with Donna in her little on-site shop that was loaded with canvas and fabric embellishments. Gretchen went wild for the iron-ons and I invested in a journal -- along with a few other things!
Each of the mini-workshops I took was taught by a very talented artist. I made a travel journal out of an old book. A tiny little album with a skeleton key spine (Jenni Bowlin's class--I was excited to meet her). A distressed storage tin. Fun fabric flowers (I think Margie was my favorite teacher!). A miniature canvas with bits of emphemera. The mini canvas collage might be my favorite project. I haven't finished mine yet, but here's a photo of one made by our teacher, Lisa Super. This event definitely lived up to its name!
