this truly is an amazingly inspiring and enriching retreat.
Teesha, Tracy, their staff and all the attendees are so nice and encouraging you can't help but have the best of times. not to mention all the uber talented teachers!
the workshop line up will be posted August 1st and registration will open September 4th.

just curious :)
OMG! Ok, I need that winning lottery ticket so I can come play, LOL! Wishing you every success - I'm sure these classes will fill FAST!

i went to artfest for the first time last year and LOVED it :) can't wait for 2011!

A little intimidated to go but know it would be so fulfilling. Seems like it would be easier to know someone than to go it alone. Oh well. One day I will get up the courage. Just starting out getting my artwork out there. Thanks for the inspiration.

I Love these! You never know what can happen, so I'm hoping that by September I'll be able to register for ARTFEST and take your classes. I love the little boxes!! and I need some help with working the DAP. Seems that peices don't stick to each other. Can water be added to it?

I am dying to go to an art retreat! It looks so amazing and to have you as a teacher would be great! I am hoping for 2011 to save up!

Fun Fun! They all look great! Although I am particularly eyeing the journal, I gotta make one of those!

It's been a dream of mine to attend Artfest but it's out of my price range. I was one of many people that applied for the free spot this last go-round but I wasn't selected. Someday I hope to make it there! Your work is just beautiful and I would love to take a class with you someday.

Ah Michelle! this is so great! I adore your show-and-tell-boxes! They are super-cute! And you know I´m weak for your ornaments! Your classes will be a huge success, I am sure! and the journals? You must have a secret formula to be able to bot bind a journal AND silk-screen a picture for it all in one day! I´ve said it before, I´ll say it again: You rule!!

These What's Your Story boxes are wonderful!!
Posted by: Tif | June 16, 2010 at 03:43 PM
WOW!!! Great projects. Especially the boxes - I absolutely love those. I have never been to an art retreat. I am a bit intimidated. But i am getting braver and braver every day. Maybe this will be the year.

God Bless You and Yours!!!

Holy cow, LOVE the story boxes!
My 10 year old saw them and said: can kids go to art fest, too?
Posted by: Tonya Gray | June 18, 2010 at 10:21 AM
WOW they are all so awesome, what a tough choice I'd have to take every class! If I had the funds come in this year I would love to sign up to Artfes this fall, keeping my fingers crossed!

WOW!!!It's all so awesome!! I am totally signing up for one of your classes. I bought one of your little bicycle art blox last year at art fest and it's hanging in my bedroom. I love it and it would be so fun to take a class with you.
