Five of our monthly group were able to get together today. We had a great visit, exchanged of ideas, talked about what are currently doing and worked out some details for the show we are having at the library. We will each be able to hang two or three pieces as well as the 10 collaborative pieces we made for a challenge our group took on. There will be a fair amount of work to do before the November show date, but it will be great to have our work shown.
One of our car pool wanted to stop to purchase some pastels and we were treated to a 'walk through' of the manufacturing room. It was very interesting seeing pigments from around the world, learning about the base materials and binders and seeing one man creating these beautiful colors. He said it was better when there were two doing the work. The process is very manual, mixing the recipes, molding flats and sanding each piece. I can appreciate the cost of these very fine pastels.
Energized. Motivated. Ready to work. Lots to do.
