Art Party for Girls!

 For the past 10 years this group of high school friends have been gathering every year at each others

homes.  Montana, Idaho, Washington , California & Hawaii.... all traveled to Missoula yesterday...

and today they came to Talc... for a little art party!  When I was taking the group shot one of the

gals said... "if 70 year olds can do this anyone can".... I'm thinking 70 is looking good!

 We fashioned "Teesha Moore" journals made from one sheet of watercolor paper....

and then we played... with a ton of paint!

 I always love the variety of outcomes in a class...

I love that they all get together every year.... have active, fun, full of adventure lives... YES to that!

Hip Hip Hurrah Girls.... it was a blast!

Class Opportunity - Wine Cork Stamps & Foil Paper!

 One of the keys to fun art making is having the elements and bits you need on hand to create
