Patti Edmon Artist

wheeee. what better way to usher in a new week (read monday, first day of spring forward, like I had an extra hour to begin with), than to receive an email notifying me that I won the complimentary slot! yes! starting march 15th, I'll be a happy participant in the Vision Board workshop, so I'll get the hands-on I need to unearth my deepest desires, artistic longings, painterly passion.  I've never been one to look to the future, to dream, to plan even. that's not a good thing. it comes with fear of change which stems from... well, I won't go into all that here; suffice it to say, it's about time I started! my daughter is the wind dancer on the far right - this photo doesn't relate, except for the part about wind, freedom to grow and become... gratitude.  

Hopping around, I found Art Alchemy Studio , and an intriguing class about creating vision boards based on the book by Joyce Schwarz. I haven't read the book, but not long after I plunged headlong into the mixed media world, I made a small, quickie (8-1/2 x 11) dream board using magazine phrases and photos that represented what I most wanted in my art and personal (is there a difference???) life.  I haven't looked to see if any of my deepest longings have risen closer to the surface, but I am interested in Chaska's class, which promises powerful change rather than my cut and paste exercise.  Has anyone read the book or taken a class? Results? I'd really be interested in knowing...
