Art Getaway - I will never forget

An Art Retreat on Bainbridge Island with two of my favorite Artists? What could be better?

When I found out that Serena from Nurture Your Creative Seed was hosting an art retreat with Junelle Jacobsen and Christy Tomlinson, I called my husband straightaway. 

Being a supportive husband he said "Book it!". I immediately messaged Serena and found there was still room! Since taking my Utah art trip, I dreamed of going on an art retreat that lasted more than a day. This was simply providential. The perfect teachers and the perfect location. We have family in Washington state and were in desperate need of another road trip.

I didn't document the retreat like I should have, because I was so involved in all the artsy fun. But I did manage to take a few photos along the way. 

Look at the treasure Junelle found! Isn't it the cutest little Lamb head?

This was the trip of a lifetime! Christy and Junelle were delightful teachers and Serena spoiled us rotten. I even met a few friends along the way. If you ever have the chance to go on one of Serena's retreats, take it! You wont be sorry. 

Look at all these beautiful and talented Ladies!

Somerset Workshop - Junelle Style

When I found out Junelle Jacobsen was going to be featured in Somerset Workshop magazine, I knew I had to get my copy as swiftly as possible. To my delight, 39 pages were dedicated to Junelle. She showed how to create 5 unique mixed media projects along with more inspiring photos of her art work. I rarely spend money on magazines, but this magazine was chalked full of so much crafting inspiration, I couldn't help myself. It was Love at first sight.

Art of Wild Abandonment

If you know me, you are aware of my love of anything Junelle Jacobsen. You must check out her first of many classes titled: the Art of Wild Abandonment. You can find the class info over at Christy Tomlinson's blog: HERE

Here is just a small example of what you will find in her class. There are project galore!!! 

This next project is especially dear to me because I made this before my sweet bird "Tootsie Girl" passed away. She is the curious cockatiel on the left. I even used her feathers in the piece. She was my first bird and my treasure.
