The life and times....

Good Morning Everyone,

I had surgery on my right hand  yesterday so please forgive any extra spaces in my words and the fact that I will be talking about t hings you may  have already read about here...

1st I wanted to post a photo of one of the classes I will be teaching at Artiscape in April, 2010....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The top photo is the collage we will be making all framed and ready to hang.  I think it turned out pretty cool.  *S*

What kind of art have you all been creating?

Have you heard of Artist Class?

Happy Monday Morning Everyone!

Have you been hearing the buzz around our Land O' Blog about Artist Class?  If not, let me fill you in..

Artist Class is an online collection of over 12 project tutorials and over 12 artists and contributors (Dawn from The Feathered Nest, Karen from The Graphics Fairy, Lori from My Faerie Window, Martha from Vintage Trifles and little ole me....just to name a few). 

It is held on a private blog, and registration allows you access. The blog is open through February to allow plenty of time to begin and finish projects.

The project tutorials are presented as blog posts, one every other day, over 4 weeks - October 25 through November 21, 2009.  You'll also receive bonus images, templates and tips and tricks - something every day!

The cost is $59, which is all-inclusive.  So let's do some math here....that's just $4.92 per class at 12 classes but guess what there are over 12 classes!!  Not only that but you get bonus images, templates and other tips and tricks too!!!  Can we say....BARGAIN?  *S* 

So, to sweeten the pot just a bit more how about this....if you use my Discount Code when you register you get the whole kit and kaboodle for just $49!!!!  So now we are down to just pennies over $4.00 per class for the 12 but you still get more than 12 and you still get the other goodies too!!!  Can we say....BONUS BARGAIN?  *S*

So, here is what you need to do to register, click on the Artist Class button below ....

 

When you click to register it will add the Artist Class to your shopping cart.  When you are ready to check out it will ask you for the DISCOUNT CODE to receive your $10.00 off!!!  So, go register and for your $10.00 off use this DISCOUNT CODE:

So the news is...

Happy Friday Everyone!

Well, I know I hinted at some good news the other day and I am sorry that I have not been able to blog about it before now (some kind of icky bug got me) but here it is.....

For those of you that have attended Artiscape in the past or who have thought about it or who have never even heard about it .....wellllll.....I will be teaching there in April, 2010!!!

Artiscape is being held in Columbus, Ohio and it promises to be a truly inspirational experience for everyone involved.  From the pre-conference workshops and Welcoming Gala to the Outsider Art Fair and Mad Hatter Tea Party and everything in between, including the Marketplace, this retreat offers something for everyone!!

There are field trips, dinners and the Artiscape Studio - a special place has been reserved for you- with work tables and places to lounge; the Artiscape Studio is yours to come play, work and visit with other attendees 24 hours a day. Located on one of the top floors of the hotel, the suite offers sweeping views of Columbus, internet connections and a flat screen TV.

Here are two links for you.....

If you have any questions about the classes I will be offering or what types of goodies we may have at our table at the Marketplace and the Outsider Fair please just email or post here.

The Giveaway Drawing.....

Happy Sunday Everyone,

So this past week I sent out to KC one of the Bound Reliquaries Books that I will be creating at her studio in February, 2010.  I have not shared images of this new book as of yet so I decided to share them today...here is a peek.....

These are all images from the Bound Reliquaries book that I will be teaching at KC Willis' Artist Studio Retreat in Colorado in February, 2010.

The class is limited to 10 people.  When the first 5 sign up there will be a drawing and one of those lucky artists will receive the class at 50% off the class price...that's right one half the cost of an already splendily priced workshop!  :)  But hey it doesn't stop there....when the next and final 5 sign up another drawing will be held and one of those lucky artists will receive the same 50% discount off of the class!!!!!   As my Daddy used to say you can't beat that with a stick!  *S*

So, I had asked my blogger friends to post on their blogs and that one of those lucky winners would receive a Bound Reliquaries Book made to order just for them.  But I decided that perhaps I should not do just one....but two!!!!  Soooooo here are the winners of a one of a kind, original, made to order just for them, Bound Reliquaries Book......

    Candy at Rock Candy

Dawn - The Feathered Nest

So Candy and Dawn I just need you to email me at flatwoodsfolkart@cox.net, tell me the theme of your choosing, your colors, what you see being showcased and held dearly in your book.  *S*

Thank you everyone that passed the word about my class at KCs, it is so appreciated.  I am very blessed to be a part of this blogging world and to have the support of you all.

Blessings,

Lesley
