Layered Imagery

I held a workshop at Big Arts on Sanibel Island a few weeks ago. I live in Naples and it takes me about an hour and a half to get to Sanibel in good weather but, as luck would have it, there were torrential rains that morning on my drive up. I am a slow driver as it is but that morning I drove like a turtle and it took me 2 hours +. At times I could not see out my front windshield!
By the time I got on the island I felt as if it was sinking into the ocean.

I had never been to Big Arts before but I soon realized that not only was my car's tires underwater in the unpaved and muddy driveway, but the building has no loading zone that is covered. And I needed to carry in my "paper" artwork and all the "paper" for the class from my car! I was panicked. The rain kept coming down in buckets!

But I was saved by the nice women there who helped me carry in everything under umbrellas. Everyone managed to show up to the class, all of us dripping wet. But it was a perfect day for doing a workshop since no one was going to play golf! We all had such a great time and everyone got deeply into creating their layered imagery, paper mosaic artwork. They were all so proud of what they created (as was I proud of them) that day as you can see from there big smiles. And I got a few emails of the photos of the pieces they finished once they got home. It was well worth the long and hair raising drive!
