Ever since taking the alcohol ink jewelry making class last month, I’ve been busy creating pendants – and loving every minute. 🎨

Alcohol Ink Jewelry
I visited my life-long BFF in Traverse City this week and as always, she seeks out new experiences and fun things to do in anticipation of my arrival. On Friday we took an Alcohol Ink Jewelry Class which was perfect as I’ve been painting with Alcohol Ink for five years and she makes stunning jewelry.
The three hour class taught by Julie Tibus included all supplies, was skillfully taught, interactive and so much fun. Julie is not only an extraordinarily talented artist but we agreed, the best instructor we’ve had for an art class. We were thrilled with our final pieces and enjoyed seeing our classmates lovely designs as well.
Julie teaches a variety of art classes and so we’re planning to take more of them – it’s not a matter of if but when! Check out her social media: Julietibus.com and @tibusstudio

Mural Mosaic – America Connects
In late 2023 I saw a post on Facebook for Mural Mosaic America and was intrigued. To participate you purchase a kit with a specific color palette that includes acrylic paints, brushes and the canvas tile on which to paint. While there were options to do a single tile or multiples, I selected a three pack and was sent Light Turquoise, Dusty Rose and Light Blue palettes for my submissions.
Upon completion the tiles are uploaded with a form showing my name and location. They will size and digitize it before it’s added to the large scale installation with art created by participants of all ages, genders, ethnicities from all over the USA. The installations take 9-18 months to complete, connecting one tile at a time to create a moving mosaic legacy. When my tiles have been placed I’ll be given the location should I wish to visit the completed project. As of now mine are slated for Autumn/Winter 2024 installation. There are already installations in New York, Virginia, Texas, California, Florida and Wisconsin. With my love of painting and to participate in a project with countless others in such a positive collaboration felt like something I was meant to do.
This is not just a US project, rather these installations are already established in Canada, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Immersive Van Gogh Las Vegas Exhibit
Experience Awe-Inspiring Exhibit Of Vincent Van Gogh’s Art Projected Over 500,000 Cubic ft. From Creators Of Immersive Blockbuster Show
Last week my sister and I visited the incredible immersive experience featuring the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh. It’s hard to describe the feeling of being inside the art as it changes moment by moment. I’ve tried to capture the experience and encourage anyone to see it in person.
Even the gallery gift shop was fabulous!
