Okay Resin enthusiasts! You asked, you shall receive

I've ordered some new bezels from my favorite findings distributor, we currently have some Envirotex Light in stock in the studio AND.. Yes, take a look what's also coming - ICE RESIN, their fabulous pewter bezels and an absolutely FABULOUS resin for Mixed Media Book by Jen Cushman "Explore, Create Resinate" . Can't wait to resinate!

I'm getting excited!! How about you?

There are currently spaces available in all of Donna's classes in Kitchener.... watch for a small yet exciting change in the schedule next week.....

CHA Bound!

Hi everyone, this is Jen. Karen has had her morning coffee and is getting ready for a fun filled day at CHA. Yesterday we took two classes here Karen is showing her beautiful .....not sure what. But its acrylic, its's a background and I love it.

The second class was with Trish from Encaustikits, here Karen and I are playing in the wax. Getting messy is just our thing.

Oh oh oh I got to meet Kiki last night while Karen was hanging out with her and the girls from Canadian Scrapbooker and Bettina from My Stamp Box a new Canadian company who's vending here this week.

Gotta go, my Queen is ready to start her day, I wonder who we'll meet today

Catalina Island.....

Sooooo pretty!

I loved walking around Catalina Island. It's what I imagine a small Mediterranean village to be like - especially with all the artful fired clay adornments on every building, bench and walkway -- check this out!

Some fabulous art pieces too - and quaint little boutiques and galleries. I even spoke to an artist that is bringing back the stone tile art that adorns the village. Meet Robin:

Gotta love meeting creative people. Art is everyone. Inspiration is everywhere.

Now go - create art!

Hola!

Well, Jen and I made it to LA..... Here we are getting all giddy at Santa Monica Pier - YAY~~ I finally, after all my travels, have seen the Pacific Ocean - and even dipped my tootsies in it! Hurray!
Love this pier!!! and the Mexican Restaurant at the end of it. Delish food and fantastic Margaritas!!! Wonderful atmosphere complete with Mariachi Band.... and who can beat the view?
So, how's the weather in Canada? *smile*

Just a Reminder that I am not in Kitchener (like you needed more proof :) ) so... the studio is closed until I return next week.

What's on my agenda tomorrow? Drinks on the Lido deck served by some guy named Issac -- well, you never know!

Stay warm!!

Art Journaling..... Life IS Good!

Last night was our first ART JOURNALING group "meeting". And what a wonderful evening it was! Thank you to everyone who came. I thoroughly enjoyed creating with you all!

On the 3rd Wednesday of the Month we will be meeting, sharing ideas, thoughts, techniques, and working in our art journals. Each month we will highlight the Art Journaling styles of a different artist and, someone from our group will show us their favourite techniques and pages -- then challenge us all to be inspired by that technique. How fun.

This month - the fabulously funky Teesha Moore. Teesha loves to collage in her journals using magazines and bits of other fun papers like wallpaper, cards, gift wrap, you name it. Above is my "go at it". And, please note.... it's not finished. I'll be adding more and more to it as the fancy strikes. *smile*

Now, where's my pens?? I ahve another idea!!
Have a creative day everyone!
