Artfest- Saturday March 31, 2012

Story Pieces with Sunny Carvallo Last day of classes at Artfest. Sunny Carvallo gave us each a small piece of plywood which we painted and stenciled and stamped to create a background for our 'story' characters. This was a great class for me to learn some painting techniques. The idea was to write the last line of a story (you know, before the "...and they lived happily ever after." My line was "Returning home her dog was there waiting for her." (Yes, I was missing my dog very much, couldn't you tell?). My table mate, Mardie was also missing her dog. Here is a picture of the two of us with our finished projects:

After dinner was show and tell where we got to see work displayed from all the classes. I really wish that more people had displayed their projects, even if they were still in progress. I did take some photos at the show and tell, but since I didn't have time to get permission from the artists I will not post them here. Back at the dorm we had another art journaling party, where I started another journal page, which I have posted below. I will continue to work on this page and post a followup when I have finished it.

Sunday, April 1, 2012 Barely getting on the shuttle to the airport (there were supposed to be two buses, but one was an hour late, so having an early flight I was lucky to get on the first shuttle that was on time) it was a sleepy ride to the airport and a smooth flight home. Artfest is over in real time, but the magic will last for quite a while to come. My thanks to the entire Moore family and their support crew for making Artfest a smooth running and magical event.
