With just a little over a week away, every spare moment in my life seems to be focused on the much anticipated ArtBLISS Inaugural Event!

Before I go any further though, for those of you who CANNOT make this event, we have more good things to come!  Jeanette and I are already planning next year’s big retreat and if you can’t wait til then, we have a few fantastic late winter/early spring workshops penciled in too!  We hope to bring a little something for everyone to metropolitan DC area!

Our marvelous instructors have been hard at work, preparing for their classes.  Deryn Mentock recently shared a few beautiful class project pictures over on her blog.  I’ll be working with metal and vintage tintypes in Deryn’s  Crowned Gems class myself!  And stop over to Kerry Bogert’s blog today….you’ll be in for a visual treat!  Kerry shares a peek at the INCREDIBLE limited edition beads she has created just for the ArtBLISS event.  Her students will be happy to find these fabulous beads are a part of her Bang-a-rang class kits!  And lucky for us, she’s bringing extra sets to sell at the Meet and Greet reception!  Hey Kerry, hold a set for me!!
