MY BIG NEWS!!!

I have been holding a secret for a couple of months and waiting for the perfect time and perfect way to share... I also mentioned that I have another journal and that I'll show it in a separate post. Well - the two things go together.
I have been asked to teach a week-long workshop in Italy!!! In a wonderful village in Tuscany, with wine and chocolate tastings, museum visits, field trips... How lucky can a girl get?
I went into that deep, internal, creative place that we all have and dreamed up a workshop that sums all the things I love the most in mixed media and came up with this journal. It combines many things, techniques, materials, textures... fun stuff. The link to my "Mixed Media Playground" workshop is here. There are many links on that page, so here is a shortcut to the journal.

I really hope that you like it.
Can you imagine creating under the Tuscan sun? Sounds like a dream to me....
