Hello everyone ... Wow who stole the weekend it just seemed to fly by! As many of you will have seen from previous blog posts I was in Ireland, Newbridge to be precise taking workshops with the amazing & inspiring Anna Dabrowska aka Finnabair. You will have to excuse my waffling on but this girl is seriously talented and such a fab teacher. You best grab a cuppa and pull up a seat lol.
One of the classes was called "Lost in the paper world" a mixed media collage canvas based project. Ignore the photo ... some people are photogenic but alas I ain't one of them lol, however altering the phot was fun as well as exploring some of Anna's techniques.
Anna in action .....
Anna & I waving to Nat
It was also nice to meet up with new and old friends alike ....
In between classes we explored a little of Newbridge itself ... I don't know how many times I ooooo'd and ahhhhh'd at this every time I passed. Still never had any :(
and last but not least the lady who made it all happen .... Agnes was the perfect host, full of energy and a breath of fresh air, along with her hubby who put up with all us yakking women and was our chauffeur for the duration. Thank you so much. x
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave me a comment, it's so nice to read them all. TTFN x
