Off to the woods

We're going camping at the lake this weekend. Most likely my husband will spend all his time fishing and I'll be making art at the campground! I packed up ALL my paper art supplies (well, nearly all), my inks, my pens and pencils, some stamps, glue, some collage books, and I'm going to see if I can capture some mosquitoes in an ATC or two. Now I always take 'stuff' with me when I go camping but it's usually fabric stuff. This is the first summer I've had an empty nest and that means an empty camper too. So my girlfriend and her husband are going with us and she's a painter - so she should enjoy doing paper art. Now I need to go print out some pics of ATCs so she has a clue what we're going to do .. mine all went out in the mail!

By the way .. speaking of ATCs I signed up for an online course called Daydreams and Doppelgangers, Finding your Creative Voice. Here's a synopsis:
This three week class is filled with lessons and ideas that will inspire you to use creativity to explore the myriad aspects of your personality. You will explore these themes by creating artist trading cards as you learn wonderful new techniques to enhance and illuminate your art. Journaling exercises will help you to get past creative blocks and find your artistic voice and the fun techniques and themes will inspire you to create work that uses that voice to sing!

I'm really looking forward to it! See you Monday!
