Round Robin ATCs

At the Artful Women's Retreat in Sandbridge that I wrote about previously, we created Artists Trading Cards to share.  It was fun to see what would happen when each of us started with a couple of cards, added a little "something" and passed it along to the next artist.  When the two cards got back to the original person, each had been touched by eight different artists who had enhanced them with their own personal aesthetic.  The result was a beautiful collaborative work of art.  I especially love my cards and have included an image of them.

The Great Escape

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being at "The Great Escape" with six wonderfully creative ladies. 

That was the name of the beach house that we stayed in at Sandbridge, and what an aptly named location for a weekend of relaxation and renewal.

Along with flavorful wine and delicious food we managed to also get our creative juices flowing in the form of fat books, ATCs, fiber arts, and "shrinky dinks". 

There is nothing more stimulating, nothing more rewarding or life enhancing than being around other artists.  Their generosity and love for all of life feeds my soul and lifts my spirit.
