ragtags studio central: sarah's random this & that

random means "having no definite aim or purpose," (1655), taken from "at random" (1565), "at great speed" (thus, "carelessly, haphazardly"). In 1980s college student slang, it somehow, and sadly, acquired a distinct sense of "inferior, undesirable." (Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper) Well, okay, fine, Mr. Online Etymology Dictionary person, but THIS is the 21st Century. It's a whole new ball of wax.

GRAND PRIZE (for blogging AND signing up) SF HANDMADE BOOK
(similar to above)

SECOND PRIZES: SET of 3 ARTIST BLOX (similar to above) and
a gorgeous STERLING SILVER RING (siimilar to above)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As many of you already know, I'm scheduled to teach an amazing, intensive weekend workshop at KC Willis' Studio Retreat in beautiful Longmont, Colorado on December 5th & 6th. That's just two months away! I have been working on an amazing GUIDEBOOK for the journey for everyone who signs up - you will EACH be receiving a handmade book - Yes! An entire handmade book with places to take your own notes, and my instructions, directions, musings, and more. An invaluable resource and it will look beautiful on your coffeetables, I promise! Additionally I will be supplying most of what you will need to create 1 or more ENTIRE books over the weekend. If you've ever taken a class from me, you know how fun they are, and this one will be (and cover) SO MUCH MORE!

PLEASE help me to spread the word...this is all you need to do:

On your blog and facebook pages, please tell everyone about the workshop: Ragtags Studio Central: Artist Books and the Elements of Design. It will be held in KC'S studio December 5th and 6th, 2009. Tweet it, too. In your blog post, link to her visiting artist page here: http://studioretreats.ning.com/page/visiting-artists-classes

Once you've posted, come back here and leave me a comment, with a link back to your blog. Your name could be drawn to win one of several prizes - if you have signed up for the class and blogged it, you could win one of my original handmade books. Two second prizes will be a offered - a set of three of my altered artist blox - very cool for mantelpiece or bookshelf...AND one of my sterling silver art rings. The pix you see here are samples of all three prizes...as Adam Sandler would say, "Not too shabby!"

Please pass the word along or better yet, sign up for the workshop yourself. Come back here and comment with a link to YOUR blog post and I will do the drawing on November 15th.

Thank you all so much for helping me out with this - XXO

Really great deal, I already have one so my name is not in; but the classes do sound neat, and my daughter just might need me in in Colorado... Looks like you are doing a great job of clearing out. Congrats. Peace

Hi Sarah.... I just left Angela Cartwright's opening in North Hollywood! What a treat to finally meet her. She took a shine to my children who will now be appearing in her next AC Studio 9 catalog! I have also been in recent and very enthusiastic correspondence with KC and committed to both your workshop in December and a 3 day one-on-one with her sometime in 2010. So, I'll be flying to Colorado on December 3 for your workshop and am so I excited I can barely breathe. Can't wait to participate in what I know will be a very exciting weekend. I'll bring my newly signed copy of "In This Garden" and I'll have both author's signatures. :-) (I don't have a blog... yet)

Sarah,

I would so love to win a place in this class; it would be like winning the lottery!

The other prizes are fabulous, too. I've posted about this class with links to both you (mentioned your name and felt like I should add a link) and to the workshop site.

You can see it here:

The "puzzling" is not related to the paragraph about the art retreat.
