For me, it is usually not having images. Either I'm been making art, but not photographing it. Or I have stuff to say about life, creativity and everything else, but I don't have an image ready to illustrate it.

I'll try and catch up today. I have a remodelled bookcover for a journal inspired by Nova Scotia. I have prints from the rubber stamps I've carved since spring. I have sketches I worked on in NS too. And I have to pull it all together into a project due in 2 weeks.

It's going to be about 60 people in a lovely inn in a beautiful location.Lesley Riley, LK Ludwig, Judy Wilkenfeld and Claudine Hellmuth will each be teaching two two-day classes at the retreat. It's mainly journalling, which I love. Just look how lush the classes are...
