Seaside Art Retreat

Last weekend I was lucky enough to go to Felixstowe for a seaside Art Retreat which was organised  by one of the people I met at Call of the Wild Soul. Seven lovely ladies met up for a weekend of fun, art, conversation and relaxation thanks to our fabulous hostess Marie and her family. 

Of course this kind of event is not without its dangers, the main one being ‘supplies envy’ when looking at the goodies everyone else had brought with them, and which, for some of us, has led to a post weekend online shopping spree!

Rather than write more about the weekend I  will post the time capsule I made as part of the course I am doing with Xanthe Berkley. This is my first attempted at Videoing which I found a lot more fun than I expected to  and only wish I had taken more film especially on the prom and by the pier. I shall know next time!

Hope you will find time to have a look - enjoy!

;Ha yes, I was definitely one of the supply envy casualties. I've been playing with my new inks today and have very stained fingers! Lovely to see you again Barbara.

Lovely video Barbara! I really like your red and teal piece. I really need some basic instruction on what to do with my paints and supplies. Any book or video suggestions?

Thank you ladies. Roxy I have links to books on my inspiration page and to e-courses on the useful stuff page. I think the thing that I have found most helpful are the courses from Tamara Laporte at Willowing and Effy Wild - good luck with finding something that strikes a chord with you
