On Saturday, Shari, Lynne and I took a road trip to Milwaukee for an ATC swap. (are we crazy or devoted to our art?) The entire daywas filled with fun and something different to do. The swap was held in a very organized fashion and I managed to get 20 new pieces of little art work.
After the swap we stopped to eat, browse a used book store (of course I bought some books to cut up for images) and indulged in some frozen custard. YUM!
Got home about 8:30 and began thinking about
the final things I had to get ready for the art retreat on Sunday.
We made tin dolls (the photo on the left). I only finished one and started one more.
I really enjoyed the day. I met new people and
found the experience to be totally relaxing.
The gathering was held in a log cabin at THE CENTER in Palos Hills. It's a non-denominational spiritual center to promote healing and enrichment thru the arts. They also have a chapel to hold services. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. There are log cabins all over and an abundance of old trees and flowers. It was so peaceful, I didn't want to leave. It was like an "oasis of calm in the middle of chaos". I'm so glad I had the experience.
I definitely will go back.

Love this tin doll. It is really lovely. Reading about the "Center" makes me want to go there.
Had a great time in Milwaukee and looking forward to the next Road trip. It will be FUN--
