I am still feeling ashamed and scared to know what the people around me really value...anyway I am going into 2017 with unless obligations on me which will free me up for more art. I am planning lots of new directions to try and I am excited to just have more time for the studio. I am posting some mixed media pieces mostly from 2016. Expect to see more soon....<br />

Went to the Surtex show and saw a few sites in NYC...Purl, ABC Carpet, Gudrun and had great pizza at Champions in SoHo. Rode in taxis and subways and saw famous building. Grand Central was fascinating! Then back to Tarrytown and on to Arlington, Vermont to the Meleen and Charlotte Vermont Getaway ...with a trip to the Wing and Prayer Farm so everyone can cuddle a lamb.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jmrtKVonVs0/V4W2kX6876I/AAAAAAAAE9M/ccfEhZwr9S0NihpAZnKZ1mxACC03-Q1BACK4B/s1600/IMG_0299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bNcUxpoIiO8/V4W2movq1wI/AAAAAAAAE9U/82ngEM7d1okymjlJo500Aj86mjfHKEPmACK4B/s1600/IMG_0311.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a><br />

It was great to see new places and so relaxing to have Meleen prepare such awesome meals. She is such a good cook and hostess. Fun to peek into life in the East. Charlotte is in the arms of her girls and great friends with history all around her.

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Join Las Tres Amigas: Syd McCutcheon, Mary Stanley and Colleen Darling for a textile workshop in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico, designated by the Mexican government as a Pueblo Magico. We are celebrating our 5</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 8px; line-height: normal;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> year of workshops in Mexico so lots of exciting adventures await us.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The rich textile traditions of the Maya are unique to this part of Mexico. Mayan beliefs combined with parts of Catholicism are different in each village. We will explore San Juan Chamula on market day, along with neighboring Zinacantan, a village known for its flower growing and colorful floral designs on the native textiles. The markets, bursting with fruits and vegetables, are where we will experience firsthand the vibrancy of colors and clothing that makes this region a visual delight. San Cristobal is home to the beautiful new textile museum <i>Centro Textiles Mundo Maya</i> with exquisite examples of textiles from the whole Mayan world. In the same restored convent complex is <i>Sna Jolobil</i>, a cooperative of artists with the finest textiles available in the area. We will explore the large craft market next to the Santo Domingo church, a large maze of fabulous arts and crafts.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Syd McCutcheon and Mary Stanley will lead the workshop working with wool and cotton fabrics to create whimsical floral and animal designs using applique and embroidery techniques with our inspiration coming from Mayan and Otomi examples.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">These can be made into wall hangings, purses, jewelry, pin cushions, pillows and more…</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We will spend 7 nights and 8 days exploring the lush highlands of Chiapas, a state rich in Mayan culture and history. Workshop time will be combined with day trips to nearby villages and artist’s studios. The city is completely walking friendly with several pedestrian walking streets and lots of shops and galleries to visit. The local indigenous continue to wear the native dress of their village and they are all different so you are able to tell where people are from.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The food is delicious, with regional specialties including tamales and fresh cheese. The local alcoholic beverage is Pox, a white lightening drink consumed both in ceremonies and everyday life. It is becoming a popular boutique beverage too just as Mezcal has made its way to the US. There are many European ex-pats in San Cristobal and they have brought with them their culinary expertise. Many choices of cuisines are available in the restaurants, including two French bakeries, and an abundance of organic coffee is grown in Chiapas too.</span></div>

I am so behind. But there have been so many great things going on.<br />
<br />
The Santa Ynez Valley has been so amazingly beautiful this year. The wildflowers are back and things are green. It puts everyone in a good mood. <br />
<br />
Of course I got a year older in Jan.<br />

I just want to fill you in a bit on my Nov. It was full of events. I had some great food, fun time with friends, beach time, sold some art but on the down side Madison broke a bone in her elbow. Not a bad break and she was super brave and barely complained...I told her she was a real trouper...she said a storm-trouper?<br />
<br />
<br />
These sky pics were on the same day on our walk at Arroyo Burro Beach with Mary Stanley, Mary Ann Moss and her sister Dottie. One of my favorite beaches...First a polka dot sky, then a golden and pink and then it just lit on fire...Really awesome!!<br />

I like to visit my mom's grave on or near Thanksgiving. She loved the fall and cooking for us all on Thanksgiving. I have not cooked more than maybe a dozen turkey dinners in my life because we always were with either my or Earl's family. And now Joe like to cook the whole meal..really good! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2U4vAREE87U/VmtnlCqLIzI/AAAAAAAAEz8/E18rklXr8fU/s1600/IMG_3135.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2U4vAREE87U/VmtnlCqLIzI/AAAAAAAAEz8/E18rklXr8fU/s320/IMG_3135.jpg" width="318" /></a><br />
Mom is buried by her life long friend Louise, who I am named after...middle name. They had "best pals" put of there because they used to eat a candy bar that was called that.<br />
The flowers are from Molly Robertson at Ballard Farms. Jill loved them as we all did. Madison did the awesome turkey painting to complete the Thanksgiving decor at Jill's.<br />

As many of you may know I love Oaxaca, Mexico and go often but I have to say there are many things here in Guatemala that do not compare. It is easy to get to know this Antigua because it is set out in square blocks that radiate out from the Parque Central. Once I figured out the buildings facing the park in connection with East, West, North and South then I could travel with confidence and I could make it back to our Casa Blanca....but that is not to say we did not get lost...Mary and I make it a point to always do the at least once...<br />

Our little (not really little) casa was perfect. It had everything we needed and was close to great shops and food. Mary Ann met the owner and got more info on the place from the maid and gardner. We had fun thinking what it would have been like to have really lived there.<br />

Besides all our shopping and eating in town, we took a day trip to San Antonio Aguas Calientes and the area that was the first Spanish Capital, from Nicaragua through Chiapas, Mexico. The town was wiped out when the Agua Volcano's cone filled with water and broke to destroy it. The capital moved to Antigua where earthquakes destroyed everything several times. The third and final spot was Guatemala City. It is now 5 million people and very modern. The natural disasters and devastating war has seemed to make the people strong and proud of their country. They are very united to bring tourism back to this beautiful part of the world. I felt very safe and comfortable at all times.<br />

My travel buddy Mary and I are going in less than a month to Antigua to stay with the uber cool Mary Ann Moss!! I am excited to see the country I almost went to a few times but it never worked out and I thought that was off my list...then a post from MA changed everything...it is happening! I think I got rid of my Guatemalan Rainbow book that I had almost worn out looking at ....all the photos of the beautiful people and their textiles. When we go to Oaxaca every year I always visit the "green door" ...that is what we call it....I have bought a few Guatemalan treasures there and always wish I could afford more. The hupil has become my uniform it seems...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<span id="goog_752340533"></span><span id="goog_752340534"></span>Wow I am so bad at blogging lately! I guess the Art Hus is taking all my spare time. But Mary Colleen and I are still pulling it together to make another art adventure in Oaxaca, We already have several sign ups. I am excited to go with old friends and meet some new ones. Oaxaca always casts it spell over us all and makes the event a life changing experience.<br />
<br />
Here are detail:<br />
<br />
The Colors of Oaxaca<br />
<br />
Dolls, Dolls, Dolls - Workshop Adventure<br />
<br />
January 16th – 23rd 2016<br />
<br />
Las Tres Amigas, mixed media artists Syd McCutcheon, Mary Stanley, and tour host Colleen Darling are heading back to the magical city of Oaxaca for another fun-filled workshop and cultural adventure. The city of Oaxaca, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has so much to offer with its warm friendly people, delicious food, world-renowned artists, colonial architecture, and pre-Colombian ruins.<br />
<br />
By ”popular demand” we are going to make dolls, many of you have asked so here it is. The workshop will take its inspiration from the riot of colors that abound in every aspect of life in Oaxaca. The weaving, embroidery, and folk art inspires our doll designs. We will use ethnic fabrics to design and dress our dolls. The dolls can be embellished with beads, ribbon, embroidery and needle felting. and much more .<br />
<br />
We will visit the Zapotec town of Teotitlan del Valle, home to over 5000 weavers and visit the oldest market in the Americas, Tlacolula. On Wednesday we will travel to Etla, home to Quesillo cheese and take a cooking class at renowned cooking school “Seasons of My Heart”. Our time in the colonial city center will include trips to the local markets, diverse museums, and endless opportunities for shopping and ice cream and so much more.<br />

Thank you Molly for the beautiful flowers!!</div>
It was almost like Hawaii at Refugio this weekend....except for the big rocks on the beach from the storm we had earlier this year. Madison got to have her first camping experience for one night and she loved it....We had squirrels and raccoons to keep things interesting. But it was great to just relax with Colleen and Janet for a couple days. We did some stitching, decorated a few rocks, did a fun art project and had great simple food.....Heaven.... Thanks Colleen for making it happen!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n_ZGZLJTR5w/U89O4GFgnBI/AAAAAAAAEpA/7yxNLmLgVBk/s1600/IMG_5684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n_ZGZLJTR5w/U89O4GFgnBI/AAAAAAAAEpA/7yxNLmLgVBk/s1600/IMG_5684.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />

Madison wanted a stand to sell her hand made play dough marbles. We had lemonade and 2 cookies to the "kit"...her name for it...for $1. If people just wanted lemonade she said $2. 4 hours of prep time and 1 hour of selling for $13. Not too bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am taking an amazing Mary Ann Moss class on line. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #009030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><strong style="font-weight: 700 !important;">dispatchfromla</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #009030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">.typepad.com </span>So much good info on sketching ...Makes me want to just sketch and play with watercolors and lettering. But so far I did a blind contour drawing and some kelp sketches at the beach...but we are going out today to do some more. Madison has planned a picnic sketch at Ballard School.<br />
<br />
I am also taking the equally amazing, Lynn Whipple's http://lynnwhipple.wordpress.com collage class...so fun...Here is what I am doing there...not done...<br />

LE came for a short visit. We had a great time. Saw Noise is Off at Theaterfest, got pedicures, ate, journaled and did lots of laughing....It just went too fast. Madison is so crazy about her!<br />

The July fourth show in Santa Barbara went well. Good to see friends and artists again. <br />
<br />
Had some good sales and met some great people. The next day I pretty much did nothing...it felt so good.<br />

Only negative was Earl and LE got hit in my car. It could have been really bad...It was a pretty big truck. But Skippy the squirrel lived to try to cross 101 another day....<br />

Well it is summer. The solstice is tomorrow...hard to believe. A lot of this month was, of course, about Madison. Talent show, graduation from kindergarden, end of school parties, art camp ceramics in SB and beach days. Now it is time to start summer reading and swim lessons....but I did manage to get some art in. I am so Jones-ing to paint!! I took an online painting class from Diane Culhane that "made" me get the paints out. I did 2 pieces I like.<br />

<br />
I was also able to get some visits in with art buddies. I saw Pam Garrison for a whirl wind visit on her way back from moving her daughter home from San Luis Obispo for the summer. We met at a thrift store so we could talk and pick at the same time....So short but any visit with Pam is too short.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I went up the mountain to Mary Stanley's to have a get together with the Moss sisters. That all went way too fast but Mary made an amazing lunch and taught Carol to hook while Mary Ann and I played and did some catching up. So fun to be at Mary's folk art filled house with all her fun projects she is working on. We got a peek at her class samples for the French General Chateau class in the South of France that she and Colleen were about to leave for. I can hardly wait to hear all about it. They got a visit in with Gio, a friend we met in France last fall.<br />

I am finding it harder than I thought it would to get the Art Nest Studio pulled together. Worse part I can't get to my art supplies. But I have got a few things started for the Art Hus and for the July 4th show in Santa Barbara. <br />

The city of Oaxaca, a Unesco World Heritage site, has so much to offer with its warm friendly people, delicious food, world-renowned artists, colonial architecture, and pre-Colombian ruins.</div>

The workshop will focus on creating a loose-leaf journal reflecting our time in beautiful Oaxaca. We will be collaging, altering photos, sketching, making stamps and learning new techniques to add to our journal creations. We will be visiting the <span style="font: 14.0px Helvetica;"><i>Centro de Las Artes de San Agustin</i></span>, a restored textile mill which is now home to a hand-made paper studio. In addition, we will visit <span style="font: 14.0px Helvetica;"><i>Studio Xaquixe</i></span>, a workshop that recycles glass from the local community, and transforms it into aesthetic and utilitarian works of art. Our time in the colonial city center will include trips to the vibrant local markets, diverse museums, and endless opportunities for shopping and ice cream. </div>

No problem there. The other quote I overheard at the next table at a group of young adults..."...I told them 'I think I am a native American...I was born here'..."<br />

OK back to me...Our Colors of Oaxaca workshop was amazing!! Best group of women ever....lots of laughs, talent and love in that group. We met up with friends we met last year at Casa Colonial and found some new ones. Lots of art and artisans to visit and good food to eat.. Saw the sites in Teotitlan del Valle ...love that village....silk worm farm, natural dye weavers, sweet local market and wax flower candle makers are just a few of the sites we saw on our field trip. Indigo dyeing at the Textile Museum had a little hic up but it allowed us to do more shopping and see more museum shows in Oaxaca. ...well I could go on and on about Oaxaca. It just went too fast...so we are planning to come back in Oct. and of course in Feb. again. Mary, Colleen and I are already scheming...so stay tuned...<br />
