Art Nest

A certain recluse, I know not who, once said that no bonds attached him to this life, and the only thing he would regret leaving was the sky.
~Kenko Yoshida

I have always held a great kinship with the sky, However I found something even more captivating then normal about the Utah sky and I just could not keep myself from looking up at it.



I spent last week in mountains of Utah. Candice and Julie were the most delightful caretakers Art Nest is a true treat and if you ever have the chance to go you will not regret it! no detail was left out as we were all pampered and taken well care of!



Here I am on a little walk surrounded by lovely aspen trees and some new friends after just arriving.



The sights were delightful.



Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky.
~Kahlil Gibran



We all took a little walk down by a stream to have a little breakfast snack...
and listen to Stephine talk to us about the many different ways to journal.



then with her help we got to work on creating our own journals out of plaster.
(I had so much fun being a student!)



The next day was all about fabric as I showed the group how to altered cloth...



and free-motion stich.



Then in a blink of an eye our days at art nest quickly passed and I found myself on my journey back home...

But not with out my farewell to the the to Utah sky with the help of a splendid red hot air balloon.

I thank you God for this most amazing day,
for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,
and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural,
which is infinite,
which is yes.
