art fun

I have said it before but I will say it again.  I love my art friends.  They are the best.  Yesterday the Royal City Calligraphy Guild hosted a play day.  Wendy brought paste to make paste paper and of course she shared the paste with all of us.   Mary Lynn brought shaving cream and ink to do marbling.  Of course she shared it with everyone.  Mary Lynn also brought in an eight page book made from one piece of paper that was gifted to her.  I wanted to copy it as it is a really cool book.  I was having a bit of trouble figuring out how to do it so Marta helped me figure it out.  She's so smart!  Stayed tuned and I will post about that book later in the week. 
There was heart felt sharing and caring, laughing and smiles throughout the day.  I am truly blessed to be a part of this warm and generous group.

Aren`t they all beautiful!

Oh yeah, there was some shopping involved in the day as well.  Wyndham Art is within walking from the church where we meet so at lunch a number of us walked over there.  I bought some beautiful Pebeo iridescent paint in orange and pink.  We also made a stop on our way to a small craft store.  I bought some fibres and really sharp scissors. 

I told myself  I wouldn't post anything of a personal nature on this blog but I today I will break that promise.  As I want to brag about my husband.  He made supper for us so it was about as perfect of day you could have.  Any day that I don't have to spend time in the kitchen is a good day!
