"Lipstick Ranch" K.C. Willis' Wonderful Ride into Creativity....

K.C. Willis whipped into town and set up shop at "Urban Barn".

K.C. is world reknowned for her colorful compositions.

Layers upon layers of vintage crocheted lace, fabric and embellishments were piled two feet deep for your choosing.

This workshop is money well spent with all of the supplies that are furnished and the knowledge gained.

Inspiration was flowing with her ideas and beautiful direction.

K.C. will be riding her "Ranch" back into town in February for a journal...

Ladies, Do you have your lipstick ready?

Thank you Jackie for bringing this wonderful workshop to town.

Here was Jackie's pick to start her canvas...

Love the PinK !

 

Miss Christine chose vibrant shades of  turquoise to create her canvas that conveyed her destiny of working with animals...so inspiring.

Thanks, K.C.

We can't wait to visit again in February.

Linda's on Holiday....

A much needed rest for our fearless leader,

Miss Linda Carpenter.

Although we are missing her joy that she brings The Urban Barn everyday, (especially me) we are wishing her colorful sunsets and cherished memories...

XOXO

"Urban Barn" Grandest Opening....

Many Thanks again to our family and friends for making this "The Grandest Event" Ever!

"Paper Couture" by Miss Julie Nutting

What fun we had at this "Fashionable" workshop with "Somerset" Superstars, Miss Julie Nutting

and

Miss Beth Livesay.

Each students "Paper Couture" creation was delightful and full of color that reflected everyone's own style.

Isn't that what Art is all about?

Being inspired from another Artist's spark and putting your own spin on it to make it your very own.

So often in our world creations are called copies when we were all inspired at one point from the same thing, adding our own imagination makes that original idea generate hundreds of original creations.

That's flattery... and how this Artist community we live in prospers.

We look forward to hosting Miss Julie in the Fall...

We will be announcing a class date soon.

Spaces are almost full already...

Thank you to the wonderful and talented Julie Nutting!

Retreat, ReThank you

We wanted to give a BIG thank you to Deb & Bob Kennedy of Retreat for spending last weekend with us at the Urban Barn for our Grand Opening. Their treasures were amazing, and we loved having them as our guests. Please visit them on their website and stop in to say hi at the their next show. They are a Treat!

We also wanted to give another BIG BIG thank you to all the vendors that came to show their wares for sale. We appreciate all your blogging efforts, hard work, sweat, and tears. Everyone that pitched in to make our Grand Opening a huge success, you know who all you are. We are still getting emails and comments of gratitude for creating such a magical place. We love what we do here at the Urban Barn and see it as a Gift. We want to keep that gift giving to you.

Here are a few blogs that have posted pics about the Grand Weekend that it was...
