This truly has been an awesome experience. So many wonderful people in this workshop. I feel so happy to have met them and to have had their word of mouth input and written evaluation about who I am and what I do. It was very validating to me as a person and an artist.
One of the neatest things we did today as a group before we left was to individually contribute something to the vat of paper pulp that symbolized each person and in a few words signified their gift to one another ie., thankfulness, students/careers, being out of the box, youthfulness, spontaneity, family and the extended family, sparkle, naturalness and creativity. One contributed letters (macaroni letters)to the vat for knowledge which she garnished through this experience and which will expand. Another participant gave the gift of shredded money because no one can repay the knowledge that was shared these last 3 days. Mine was a deep gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon us all, as I sprinkled glitter onto the altar of pulp.
We were all together seemingly to make paper; however, there is always a higher consciousness that comes through that elevates one's thinking, doing and being. I felt it.
Friday I'll be leaving for Chicago to attend the 28th International Calligraphy Conference. I will need a few days to regain my energy and be ready for my next creative adventure.
