The Symposium

I don't know how to begin writing this post. Let me start by saying that this has been an amazing week! The Symposium was great and meeting Sara and Susan was absolutely fabulous! To spend a week together with these two talented ladies was a treat. Both of them have a great sense of humour and knows how to tell a good story. I laught so hard that I could hardly breath. Sara and Susan, I hope you'll come back soon!

Here are a few pics from the symposium. These where three teatchers at the symposium. Dorothy Tucker, Sara Lechner and Tilleke Schwarz. The second lady from the left is Pian Bates.

Susan and I took a workshop for Tilleke called "Telling your own story". We did mainly painting and drawing. This is one of the assignments. First we were to draw ten creatures, real ones or fantasy creatures. Then we picked one and enlarged it.

On Tuesday night we took a guided tour at a garden called Wij. It was very beautiful.

For the second day we should bring a few things from nature. Based on that we drew 16 patterns. Then we picked one pattern and stitched it in black and white. This is Susan working on the final stitching assignment.

My piece looked like this.

Of course we had to take a sneak peak at Saras' class. She was teaching people how to use the embellisher. On Wednesday morning Sara showed pictures and talked about her art. Everyone was very impressed and excited about her work.

On Thursday morning Sara, Susan and I went to Stockholm for three days of sightseeing, museums and shopping. So much fun! Thank you Sara and Susan for a great week!
