The photo of this collage does not do it justice. The colors are much richer and the blacks are deep, like the inside of the dark forest. The metallics are splashed around just enough to highlight but not overpower. I had a collage workshop today. A private one just for me. I met a phenomenal artist on line recently and we met for lunch. We bonded quite readily and I coerced her into driving up to my home for the day. The time blew by like the wind. I could barely catch my breath. I learned lots of new techniques and different ways to use the techniques I already had under my belt. I am on a creative high! Laura Lein-Scvencer is an accomplished artist with the soul of an angel! She is sweet and caring as she shares EVERYTHING she knows about art and collage. In this age of competition and back biting it gives one hope to meet idividuals who care about sharing their knowledge and expertise.
I am refreshed this evening in so many ways. Creatively, spiritually, and most importantly, in the beauty and honor of the human spirit as we venture out of our comfortable enviroments and experience the new adventures and friends that the universe puts in our path. As long as we are willing to take a step or two out of our way.
This is just stunning! What a great day you had. Thanks for sharing.
p.s.
Your cards will be in the mail tomorrow. :-)

GOD it sounds like you had a fantastic day!!!! I can't wait to see more more more!
I do love the colors and especially the crinkle-ness (new word) of the paper and the way the texture just pops. It's beautiful Kathy....
