All Blissed Out!
It is awesome to get in touch with my Self creatively. I am sure that many of you know what I am talking about. My day job has been dissapating my energy, so getting away and feeding my creative spirit is just what I needed!
I am back from ProChem and my workshop with Jane Dunnewold.
I am still a bit awe struck by Jane. I love her, her spirit and working attitude as an artist is right on. She is my hero and I was able to verbalize that with her, which was awesome.
All of the techniques we used can be learned by buying her book Improvisational Screen Printing, which I already own. I own both her surface design books (the other being Complex Cloth) and highly recommend both.
I bonded with some awesome women over the week. We went to Horseneck Beach, which could have easily been mistaken for Egypt.
It will be an adventure to see how this forray into Screen Printing will affect my artistic process and thoughts. It is awesome that this workshop occurred at the end of June because I will have the summer in my cool basement studio to play with and incorporate what I have learned.
YEAH!!!
Love the pyramid sandcastle. And I know exactly what you mean about the day job sapping energy. Yet we try to create anyway despite it, don't we?
