Last night I taught another of my "PAINT YOUR HEAD" Art Journaling workshops, and it's always a fun time. I have some participants who have taken the workshops two or three times, at different locations! That's really fun, we can add new techniques and tricks each time, to enhance everyone's experience, no matter how many times they take the workshop. We did a show-and-tell last night - everyone participated in that, and it was fun to see how everyone painted what was on their minds and hearts yesterday . . . memories, wishes, dreams, philosophies were all worked in to different pieces. I'm looking forward to my next scheduled workshops.
On Thursday, February 10th, at Walls Alive in New Town (Williamsburg, Virginia) we will be doing another Paint Your Head workshop, and again on Thursday, March 10th.
On Thursday, March 24th, we will launch our "ATC JUMPSTART!" "ATC" is short for Artist Trading Cards, little 2.5" x 3.5" original works of art, which you create and trade with other artists!
Then, on March 27th, I head out of Miami on a ship, of all things, taking PAINT YOUR HEAD to the Caribbean, on our maiden voyage MUSE CRUISE to help you free your Muse! I'm joined by Cindy Miller Hopkins (photographer, her credits include National Geographic and permanent display in the Smithsonian), and Vicki Kuyper (author of over 50 books, and thousands of hilarious greeting cards!), in leading the group of awesome women who have signed up for this. And what a group! We have artists, an architect, two jewelry designers, several homemakers, two comedians . . . writers, photographers . . . does it get any better? The only way this would get better is if you could go to some Mayan ruins or go snorkeling or kayaking . . . oh wait, we are doing that! Okay, then, the only way this could get better is if you could throw in Johnny Depp! Which I would do, if only I could!
This week, we launched ART JAM at school, for the 4th-7th graders, and we had a great turnout, and shall I say, a substantial level of energy - which we are channeling into making our own books, which will become art journals.
Peace, y'all.
And, happy art-making!
