Sarah F. - Artist with Soul



Wednesday I took off the afternoon and went to Red Lead for a special demo at noon by collage artist Sarah Fishburn. Sarah is a funny funny lady. Anyone who names one of her kids September and doesn't mind chattering away while creating fantastic art in front of your eyes is OK in my book. Sarah demo'd cabinet cards and using Tim Holtz' dyes to add texture to old cabinet cards she's collected.
When ever Sarah "made a mistake" she incorporated the mistake in her work -- that's reassuring as I often make these "mistakes" that often turn into a learning experience or surprise surprise a better piece of art.
It was kinda strange to go to RL for the demo at noon and then return at 6 for the meet and greet weekly ATC evening. Interesting conversations between the women who stayed and made cards. I got some great ATC cards in exchange from Chris, Doris, and Kim. It's amazing what can be done on a 2.5 x 3.5 card.
