At times you could hear a pin drop. At other times laughter and hilarity reigned. It was once again a wonderful retreat.We arrived with an incredible amount of "stuff" and produced an equally incredible amount of art.
I have tried to capture a corner of our work room in the photo above.
Many of us participated in two creativity challenges.
Artist Trading Cards
We used any medium to create 2.5X3.5" cards. Each card is signed and numbered on the back and gives the artist's contact information. The cards are given to or traded with other artists.
Here are some samples of our efforts and a picture of part of the clothes lines of cards produced. We had a fun card exchange at the end of the day.
The Shoe As Art
Our shoes had varied histories. One thing they seemed to have in common was that they were worthless in their present state. Sorry, I did not think to do before and after shots.
Here are some of the final products. They are now Priceless.
We left on Thursday afternoon with these treasures, lots of memories and some fine art started, finished or just in mind. A great time. Thanks to all the 26 great artists friends who made it happen.
Glad you had such a great time! Love all the fun, vibrant art everyone made.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like so much fun. We need to start a group in Orlando. I love the creations and happy expression on each face.
