I hope you all have had an excellent holiday break this weekend! I am feeling pretty content and all smiles due to the last few days - they were exciting, filled with friends and art. Friday, I had a few of my friends come over through out the day and we ate chips and dip, made crafts & craaazy cupcakes, and watched a movie later on in the evening over a dinner made by my boyfriend.
It was quite fabulous - and I learned a new transfer technique that I have been going nuts over all weekend from my friend Laila. As soon as my boyfriend gets in his new camera this week, I'll take some better pictures of the large wood block piece I'm working on with this transfer method and explain how to do it. The above image is two small postcards I made with the transfer technique for my cousin and my friend.
On Sunday, my boyfriend and I installed the new shelves on in my studio area and then I went to an super fun cook out at Laila's. We ate lots of tasty food, celebrated her friends birthday, played croquet and set off fireworks. She also showed us some of the lovely artwork that her and her sister had made over the years and it was very inspiring!
I'm going to end there for now and try to post again Thursday. I have a long long week ahead of me and I want to get to bed early so I can have a good start tomorrow! On a closing note of a lovely friend filled weekend, here is a nice quote from one of my favorite authors:
Each friend
represents a world in us,
a world possibly not born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”
