"Art In Ashland"

They are at it again. "Art In Ashland" One day I will get to go on one of these art retreats! Quite an expense as I live so far away but wow what a vacation, the classes look so good and I would love to visit Oregon one day too. "Featuring Artists Pamela Garrison, Amy Hanna and Anahata Katkin in a beautiful crystal ballroom and garden courtyard." It all looks amazing and it would be great to see what each artist brings with them as inspiration. I wouldn't want to leave. These images are so beautiful I had to show them.
The venue is not too shabby either!

"Art In Ashland" August 2-5th, 2008 in downtown Ashland, Oregon. At the Historic Ashland Springs Hotel.

Box of tricks

When I first found blogs and before I had my own laptop I would always beg a few minutes use of the other half's computer and my first stop would be Pam Garrisons to see what beautiful new things she had been creating. Still checking in to see what Pam is up to each week. If you go over to visit now you can see what lovely jewelry she has been making from the contents of this treasure box (above) at Art nest. I would so love to go on one of these art retreats, it looks like such fun to meet all these different creative people to share ideas with. There is a great Art Nest flickr pool too so you can view all the attendants work and I found another great blog from one of the organisers too Blue girlxo. Happy nesting!
