I've been working on a journal collaborative with some talented and fun friends I met at ArtFiberfest out in Portland this summer.
Cindy,
Tammy,
Juanita, Linda and I were "neighbors" in the dorm and spent most of time together laughing as we walked around the campus, ate meals together, attended workshops and just hung-out. In fact Tammy's laugh is so infectious I can still hear it now if I close my eyes and reminisce about that weekend! Love those fun memories! We dubbed ourselves the
"Naughty Meadow Girls" (
for reasons too complicated and crazy to go into here!) and made up a wild story to go along with that title which seemed to get funnier and juicer every time we added to it! It's hard to explain here but as Cindy says, "It's one of those
ya had to be there things."
Anyway, we decided to stay in touch and continue our friendship (
and silliness) by working on a journal round-robin collaborative together. We each created a journal, completed several pages and then sent it on to the next person to add their artistic touch.
These are a few pages from my journal which is now in Tammy's hands for her to work in. We'll be posting our pages periodically in our
Flickr group
here if you'd like to follow along with us.
