Art Is....YOU!!!!

I can't believe that Art Is You in Petaluma, California and Stamford, Connecticut are just a few weeks away!!! It is always an exciting time preparing to attend one of Sal & Ellen's events because you never know what surprises they have in store for you (believe me they are wonderful), who you will see and how many new friends you will make!

Yeah, I know, it sounds corny and all that stuff right? But it's okay if it does when it's the truth...the Art Is You events are AMAZING!!! They are STUPENDOUS!!! They are MAGICAL!!!

Imagine being surrounded by the most amazing artistic talent ever...that's your tribe all come together to create, create, create!! These retreats are all about YOU....the all encompassing you which is you, me, everyone!! It is all about US and Sal and Ellen make it that way and they have since day one, I know I was there at day one and it was magical then and the magic has just multiplied and grown.

Think I'm silly? Well, I am but we are allowed to be. People walk around in tutus and funny hats and creations have strange heads or weird hinges or they are just plain beautiful or they could be dark and mysterious.....but it's OKAY...you are amongst like minded souls and we get you 'cuz we are like you. We may not have the same aesthetic but we all understand the creative abilities it takes to make something that is born in your head and heart and brought to life by your hands (or other body parts depending what class you are taking). <smile>

Art Is....You - In The Words of Salliane and Ellen

I wanted to share this email from Salliane & Ellen with you...

It is a frenetic time for many right now with the schools in Graduation mode, family gatherings and celebrations. Summer is on our heels. Now is a good time to plan your escape in the fall.

We have a phenomenal faculty of artists gathering in Petaluma and Connecticut. Plus fabulous industry faces who will be bringing their talent, humour, experience and art to each venue.

Virtually everything that occurs at each retreat is included in your workshop registration.

It means you don't have to think about anything but reveling in the moment.

From the moment you set foot in the door to the time you leave you are surrounded by a tribe of artists who will lift you up. Your art and soul becomes one when you immerse yourself in the Art is...You experience.

A Reminder: Tonia Jenny and Ricë Freeman-Zachary announced a very special CreateMixedMedia.com and Art is You contest, and how each week here you’ll have a chance to nominate someone to win a fabulous (and generous!) prize package to make attending a retreat possible for someone. This week is your last chance to nominate someone.

The past few weeks have seen me in my studio filming videos for my new online class offering - Altered Vessels. This online class has well over 30 videos with information on creating everything from little pendants to large bottles with unique, one of a kind, focal points. My online classes are open 24/7 with no end date so no stressing out on finishing up your creations. While there is no end date there is a cut off time to sign up and that will be the end of May, 2013. You can check it out by visiting: www.theartofaltering.ning.com
