Artfest Insects

Thought is was about time I posted some photos from my classes. I taught Class Insecta on Thursday and Botannica Exotica on Saturday. Both great classes full of really cool folks. I must commend my student Brian whose right hand was recovering from surgery!!! He ended up with a really cool bug. What a trouper! There were so many total beginners and that is always heartwarming to me. I so enjoy watching people get hooked on making with new materials. This is Doreen putting color on her bee.

And Sylvia working on her insect.


















I've included images of Jim Sorenson's LOVELY cicada. He made one in my class last year and then went home and did another! It is larger than life and freaked some people out with its realism. I found it GORGEOUS!! (Jim's cicada last year inspired this years class). He was kind enough to bring it all the way back to Artfest this year to show and share. Thanks Jim!

Artfestifried


Artfest goodbyes are the hardest.

Robert and I are now chillin' at Juniper Lane Guest house in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, more on that later as we are still Artfestifried!
Since Robert was such a good boy, I am taking him kayaking tomorrow with Discovery Kayaks in the Haro Strait and then we hit the airport Wednesday to head home. Its been a BLAST! We met SO many new, cool folks- all over... AF, in Port Townsend and now in Friday Harbor.
Washington state is just plain magical...

Until next year (The Universe Willing), thank you to all my new friends, my fabulous and brave students and most of Bee and LK who've taken me under their collective wings....
Long live art that is Hairy, Scary and Dead!!!!!
