Workshops, Crazy Busy!

http://urbanbarn155.blogspot.com/

I have been extremely busy these last couple of weeks, which is a good thing. I have no idea what posessed me to schedule 5, yes 5! workshops and 1 art fair in the latter part of July when I have a manuscript due Jully 31! Well I got thru it all and I'm almost done with the book except for some final tweaking. These pics are of a workshop that I did at The Urban Barn in Escondido, Ca. The place was gorgeous as usual and since it was their grand opening weekend there were lots of festivities planned.

Thes pics are of a city sponsored art and music festival in which they paid me a nice amount to do a 45 min. workshop with 25 kids. Now I've never really worked with kids before, but it was a lot of fun and they were all very well behaved, thank goodness. We made 8x10" collages that turned out super cute. All the materials were donated to me which made it even nicer. I set up a small table with my goodies to sell and just kicked back and listened to music all night and talked to lots of great people. Got a nice list going of women who want to take workshops......not until the manuscript is done!
I am planning a workshop that will take place in a beautiful yard overlooking the ocean, probably in September. The theme will be beachy...I will post details later but not until manuscript is done! I f anyone is interested please email me. I promise fun in the sun and lots of good company.
