hello friends,
the rainstorm we had yesterday sure cool things down - how refreshing. here are some highlights from the workshop - geninne has some lovely pictures on her twitter page. it was a fun day filled with creativity. I enjoyed the energy in the room - thanks to everyone who participated in the workshop and a big thank you to geninne for making her way from mexico (in case you were wondering - yes - she is amazing in person - she exudes so much passion and love for her art)
last night I worked late into the evening to get orders out for monday. I will take a day off to spend with 4 lovely ladies to do some natural dyeing - I love these get togethers. so much to share and such little time. there are cruel things happening in other parts of the world - a little kindness goes a long way.
enjoy your day! xxa
It looks like you all had a lot of fun. It surely must have contributed to the creativity, so many beautiful stamps.
ReplyDeletegreat work: the energy and enthusiasm just permeates
ReplyDeletewish i could have been there
Thans you so much Arounna for making this possible. It was an absolute dream day to spend such a creative day with a wonderful group of talented women. Being surrounded by your beautiful work at Bookhou was inspiring! I am incredibly blessed to have you as a friend. Can't wait to see you, Piper and Barbara today :)
ReplyDeleteIt was such an amazing day! I was thrilled to be in such beautiful, creative company. Geninne was a wonderful, encouraging, and gifted teacher. I sincerely hope that our paths cross again!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your posts every morning! I do lots of block and screen printing, and am just starting to research how to use natural dyes (I want to dip dye yarns for my knits). Every post is so interesting and relevant to where I am at in my studio these days!
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day. I'm still riding a wave of lovely creative energy that came from it. The natural light in Arounna's shop was beautiful and it was enhanced I think by the light coming from each of us--happy to be in the presence of Arounna and friends' elegant creations and thrilled to be in the warm and inspiring company of our teacher Geninne.
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing day! I left with some beautiful stamps, an urge to make more and a new creative energy. Meeting Arounna and Geninne and all the lovely women was a joy! thank you!
ReplyDelete...I added some pictures of the day on my blog...
