This morning John asked me if I had a photo of myself so he could remember what I looked like! The poor guy has received scant attention from yours truly for weeks now because I’ve been so busy. Still, he’s being a good sport about it all. He even made a tasty dinner for me to eat before Christina Lazar-Schuler’s special class at Bizzy B’s tonight. But more about that in a moment…I haven’t had a minute to relax since Holly Jolly—in fact, I haven’t even unpacked! I received my first commission (for three pictures), more requests for my Mélange CD, which sold out on Saturday and orders for two more digital collages, so I’ve been hard at work. It’s all good, but it’s stressful too.
I had really been looking forward to Christina’s class, which was working with a mini chipboard album (love that chipboard). But I had nothing ready by this morning, and I was freaking. John suggested I use my own digital collages instead of trying to get some photos together. I’m really glad he did because I’m so pleased with what I produced—not that I’ve finished of course. But I will be seeing Christina on Friday night before she goes back to Vancouver, and I’ve promised myself that I will finish my Renaissance project. And show it to her.
If you ever get a chance to take a class with Christina, jump at the opportunity. She’s so generous with her time, materials and expertise. I always appreciate a handout to refresh my memory, and Christina’s also included a color photocopy of the pages she did for her sample. I’m really impressed.
Now where was I? Daniza and I worked across from each other and I loved what she did. She sanded her pages for a distressed look and the whole effect was very cool. Then Carmi came by Bizzy B’s to pick up Christina, and while she waited, sewed on something tiny and scrumptious. (No, Susan—you will not start sewing too). I can’t help thinking how lucky I am to know so many talented and inspiring people.
