WOW! What a weekend

Deryn's journal.

She uses it to keep her notes,

thoughts,

plans,

and pictures of her jewelry ideas.

Oh my goodness! What a weekend I just had. I'm still feeling the excitement inside my body. It is like blowing up a balloon....bigger...bigger....bigger and then anticipating the POP! I think I'm going to POP!

I could tell you the best part of the weekend was that I took Friday off from the desk-in-town. But it wasn't. I could tell you the best part of the weekend was seeing my friend Deryn's Planning and Plotting journal for her beautiful jewelry. But it wasn't. The best part of the weekend was welcoming my friend to my studio where we Played ART Together. Yes, the weekend was to be about planning and plotting. However, after making that silly little video in the next post down, the excitement took over. We couldn't stop ourselves. You know how it is. You want something and you want it NOW.

That is what it felt like.

We have to start NOW!

We did.

We didn't expect to get past the planning stage of our great collaboration adventure. But you know how I believe, "nothing ever happens before it is time and one thing leads to another". We felt some little nudges from the universe and we felt our own excitement building and we knew...It is time!
Maybe you have guessed that yes we are going to collaborate on an out-of-this-world, blow-your-socks-off, over-the-moon, jewelry and mixed media on-line workshop that will be presented at my All Norah'S ART Ning site. We have already set up the group. Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Deryn showed up with her full bag of tricks and tools and supplies. We proceeded to begin the video process of our collaboration. We've already videoed hours of lessons and I'm telling you it really really is going to blow-your-socks-off. Before she left, I took a picture of her taking a picture of my bezel.

Just a little history, the next day after attending a workshop that Deryn presented in College Station, about an hour down the road from me, I came home so excited about learning a new way to use my images. I played and experimented pouring the Ice Resin that I had just learned about. The above is the front of one of my experiments and the picture below is the back side.

The images are from my Castle Tower series from exactly one year ago.

Hence, the name of the class is, Of Towers and Turrets.

We don't mean to keep you hanging. And we won't. We will be prepared later in this week to give you more more more of the details.

If this post seems a little disjointed, it's just my excitement. I think I am going to POP!
