Summer Stampfest 2015

Road trip!  Road trip!  Jeff and I will be attending Summer Stampfest 2015 in Lakeland, Florida.  I am VERY excited!  I'll be taking a mail art class




as well as spending time at the exhibits, hopefully not spending too much money.

We'll be staying at the local LaQuinta, just a few miles from the event venue.  Thanks to my AAA discount, the room rate is more than reasonable.

It's been a year since we went on a road trip, let alone an art related one.  Last year we traveled to Sarasota, Florida to take a journal making workshop.  It, too, was a lot of fun.  Next post, I'll share with you details of the journaling workshop I took a few weeks ago at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University.  I'll be taking a gelli plate printing class there next month as well.  All good things starting to happen again as we get our creative mojo back in motion!

Extraordinary Paper Art Show


This past Sunday Jeff and I attended a fabulous art exhibit at the Cornell Museum of Art and American Culture.  The museum is part of the Delray Beach Center for the Arts.  Fifteen contemporary paper artist's work were features in the exhibit, From Ordinary to Extraordinary: Paper As Art.  From exquisite and intricate handcut paper art, to collage, book sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibit was inspirational.  Enjoy the following photos for a little taste  of what we are so appreciative to have been able to see and enjoy.
