Art camp


I started a week long workshop in Elora today. The workshop is run by the Wellington County Museum http://www.wcm.on.ca/event-details.php?eid=64&type=norm
I have taken workshops there since 2004. By far the best workshop I have taken there is the workshop taught by Gunnel Hag. http://www.colourvie.com/ Gunnel is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend taking a class with her. I learned a great deal and this workshop took my art in a new direction. Gunnel really encourages exploration and that is one of my favorite things to do.
I also made a divine connection the week I took Gunnel's class. I met my dear friend Carol Wiebe.

Carol has a great sense of humour and I was drawn to her immediately. Carol and I have been friends for four years now and it feels like we've always known each other. I thank God for all my friends but especially my art friends. They get me!
This picture is a nature print I did with the Color Vie system that Gunnel teaches.Color Vie is incredibly versatile. I love playing with it! The kaleidoscope in my first post has some fabric in it that I created with the Color Vie system.

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
