week 23 of the Challenge
It is week 23 and the word this week is Angelina Fibers
Week 22 – it’s a Seahorse
yep our word is Seahorse and I made a page in my Journal I feel like I am barely hanging on to everything I have to do!
Cuba Cruise
In June I taught on a Cruise Ship heading to Cuba.
I taught only two classes on this ship
One was a scrapbook and the other was a Mixed Media Explorers suitcase.
Cuba is a beautiful country with lovely people, magnificent foliage and old interesting decaying buildings.
Look at the patina on this wall. This would make a great background for an art journal
I would love to go back to Cuba and explore some more!
time for Week 21
Inktense Pencils – how I heart these!
Week 20 for the challenge
The word this week is telephone. (and one of my favorite things are old english phone booths. I have a couple of them in the store. One day I will have a real one – do you hear that Universe?)
Week 19 and it is time for the challenge
Deli Paper is the word for this week. This is something I love to print on. It is stronger than tissue paper and almost melts away when added as collage in your journal.
Week 18 and it is a Mermaid
Mermaids are so popular lately. We sell stamps, dies, paper like crazy at the store. As long as it has a mermaid on it, it is popular.
I decided to make a journal that is a little different.
A day with Seth Apter
Seth Apter was in town teaching workshops at the store. I managed to play hookey from the store again this year and we decided to visit Mounts Botanical Gardens and an Old Church
Mounts Botanical Garden is located in Palm Beach and this was my first visit there. They had an exhibition of Washed Ashore – Art to Save the Sea.
This was a horrifying but fascinating exhibit. The Artists made some fabulous art but it is made entirely from debris washed ashore from the ocean.
The art is made from all kinds of plastic: Toilet Seats, Bouys, Flip Flops, Childrens Toys
This bird’s feathers were made from tires
To give you idea of scale, this parrotfish weighs 1600lbs
Some natural beauty. Inside a flower
This one was the most disturbing to me. All along the logs of the starfish were bullet casings!
After we visited the gardens we decided to have lunch at a local Mexican Restaurant and had just enough time before his flight to go and visit Bethesda By the Sea
Bethesda by the Sea is an old church on the Island of Palm Beach and has some magnificent stonework and gardens
Gargoyles are something I have always loved
