Time for a new page

I'm not the best at posting, there has to be a "happening" to report on and I have a new one that is exciting to me. Its all about an art and crafts workshop that I am planning to happen in July when it is too hot to be anywhere but inside. The event will be named
"Thou Art Inspired". It will be a 3 day event and in these 3 days teachers of art and crafts will come together to teach and inspire the students to create art based on an inspirational quote of their choice. Using paint, pen, calligraphy, needle and thread, jewelry and sculpture, the student will begin a series of classes and learn how to turn their favorite quote or scripture passage into a piece of art. Voila!

Just like the t-shirt of LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, these classes will give an outlet for the Yazoo community to come together in a positive way and work side by side to create their art piece. When the workshop is completed there will be a reception to show or sell art works by the students and teachers... I'm crazy excited about the possibilities that can come from this. Imagine someone getting to learn a craft and take the experience home with them and create more. I know I'll have to have help from sponsors, there will be some people who could not afford to come and supplies have to be paid for and teachers, and venues... all is possible, and I know it.
