Oh my goodness, that was fun! This was a very exciting and excited retreat. I am amazed at the energy. I felt like I was surrounded by my people. It was invigorating, inspiring, tiring and wonder full. I would love to do it again!
I took Judy Coates Perez's Tea and Ephemera class, I taught three of my own classes, the Freezer Paper, Paint, Oh my! class got gypped in the video department. But it all went really well.
Check out Pat Gaignat's blog for further tales on our exploits.
And purchase or open your copy of the Sept/Oct issue of Cloth Paper Scissors if you want to know the stamp making technique that Pat taught me! Geez! There are alot of links in this paragraph.
If you were a student and would like to share your art with me and my blog, I would love to post your photos and comments.

Professional Filmmaker - add that to your resume. You caught the whole atmosphere of fun and creativity perfectly. That's exactly how it felt every single day. Kudos Kudos Kudos Melly.
I only wish that i lived closer. It looks like such fun--nothing like that here. I just got the new Cloth Paper Scissors and am anxious to try some more printing.

Great job, Melly! New form of expression: video journaling! Thanks for sharing the great fun!
Great video! I really enjoyed your class. You're an inspirational instructor. Thanks for sharing a part of you with us!
Hi Melly,
That video rocked - nice work! It did capture the vibrant feeling of the retreat. Loved the driving video too. Where is the old guy and his lady birds? Cute cat. I had an awesome time in your class - and hanging out with you, Pat and the gang later. Are you the "Charlie Brown" of the art world - everyone wants to gather around you! So glad to have made it here - in between taking care of the kids. CREATE was a lot of fun - thanks for taking it to the next level for Alina and me!
Wow! Excellent video! You did a fantastic job ... and it looked to be a great trip.
love!!!!!
