This past week-end I had the opportunity to go to New Jersey to attend Ranger U at Ranger Ink and let me tell you it was INCREDIBLE!
And I didn’t even get lost…. much!
(look at all the loops that the airplane took to get there! Holy Cow!)
RangerU was packed full of techniques and information. Simply AMAZING! I have to tell I have been teaching painting, art, mixed media, etc. for over 26 years now, and it was SO AWESOME to be the student for 3 {intense} days! It reminded me of when I was studying at University! COOL!
It was super neat to be surrounded by so many talented and amazing people. Actually, I was amazed to find out that students came from 10 different countries around the world. How sweet is that! I was the only Canadian. Eh! The staff was SO wonderful!! I am sure I don’t have to introduce the instructors….
Dyan Reaveley (dylusions)
Claudine Hellmuth (studio line)
and… mackie(vintaj) , who dissappeared before I managed to snatch a photo of her! She rocked!!! Mario, and the staff; Patti & her team, Jackie, and Charlene were all SO incredibly nice and helpful and I have never seen such a clean and cool plant ever! AMAZING!!! Tim compared it to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and boy, it really was!!! I wanted to touch everything…but, I didn’t. I behaved!!! Everyone was so much FUN!
My head is STILL whirling!!!
Heehee..I just noticed the heating tool. Do you see what it says?
{outside the Ranger building. SO pretty}
70 TAGS + 3 DAYS = A HAPPY HEART
Doesn’t all that color, textures, and patterns just make you feel SO happy! I am smiling as I type this!
Look what I found on some shelves in the Ranger Inc. Classroom. A little tiny canvas that I had made a year ago for a CHA show. I was SO thrilled to see it sitting there.
I feel so blessed to be able to have been able to be part of this amazing event. Creating ART is SO wonderful for the HEART and SOUL and I truly feel charged up and ready to go now!!! Can’t wait to start another COLORFUL ADVENTURE in my Studio!!!
Find a little time to create today…… it really will put a smile on your face!
hugs,
Susan

ReplyDeleteAwesome time! I agree, I could live there too! I was there last year and I loved seeing your journey there as it brings all those lovely memories flooding back. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt was terrific that you had such a good time and I think your creative escape probably came at a very good time too.
