Artfest 2011 Part 3

The weather on Friday morning was even more beautiful than it was on Thursday. The sky was clear and the sunlight was beautiful. I took a photo safari back toward some of the bunkers that overlooked the ocean.
View from the top of the bunker. It was a beautiful, peaceful walk.
My second class was Big Time Book with LK Ludwig. As I've mentioned before, I took The Camera in Your Pocket iPhone Photography class with LK online. I've also learned a lot from reading her books, which are all fantastic and full of inspiration. I was definitely star-struck to be in the same room with her! Here she is demo-ing one of the paint techniques we did in class. Isn't that the cutest apron ever?
The pace and the techniques of the class were really playful. We started by making our pages, then moved on to paint techniques, which we practiced with for most of the class. My friend Annie and I got seriously messy! I had paint on my nails for a week afterwards, but it was a heartwarming reminder of the class.
At the end, LK showed us how to bind our books so that the pages would open flat. By the end of the day, my book was no where near complete. I'll be sure to post photos when it's done, though! It was such a fun class, and LK was just as sweet in person as I'd always imagined. I hope I can take another class with her in person someday!

Friday night was vendor night, which past Artfest attendees had assured me was a pretty crazy event. Now that I've attended one, I can totally understand why! It's a huge room full of people selling stuff that I want to buy! Eek! I did some serious shopping and discovered some new artists that I hope to take classes from in the future. It was a fantastic (and exhausting) end to a fantastic (and exhausting) day!
