CHA 2010 • DAY 4

CHA. Day 4. Claudine Hellmuth. So adorable. Future Guest Curator for CRESCENDOh ... to share her art and her ART SAVES story. 

Tim Holtz. Need I say more? A Rock Star dude who has it going on ... and who knows firsthand that ART SAVES.

 

And sweet, smart Bonnie Egenton who helps support the work of Claudine and Tim through the AWESOME products from Ranger. And who also understands profoundly, the power of art and how ART SAVES.

So as I was chatting with Claudine, one of her BFFs comes to scoop her up. Love this photo because Claudine and her BFF are posing with MY BFF (and my secret weapon), Cynthia Shaffer (Cynthia doesn't have a blog or anything like that. She is just a creative genius who can create ANYthing with ANY material at ANY time. ANYthing great I've ever done is because Cynthia has been there helping me make it happen.)

Another BIG, BIG thrill today was hooking up with the amazing Margie Romney-Aslett who has released a new line of products that took my breath away. Future Guest Curator for CRESCENDOh.com.

So as I was strolling along, I bumped into none other than Beth Livesay (one of the best dressed editors in the industry) ... the editor of the HOTTEST altered artwear magazine ... ALTERED COUTURE, of course.

 

Here I am on my soapbox preaching the message about ALTERED COUTURE to the CHA audience. (One of my fortés is getting on my various soapboxes.) :)

Another highlight was meeting up with the good people of AMACO ... the creators of the most innovative clay products ... wait until you see one of their most lightweight clay products that you'll see on CRESCENDOh.com. 

Strolling along, I bump into sweet Julie Bergmann ... an artist of IMMENSE talent. Cover artist for the latest Art Doll Quarterly. 

 

And before I knew it, joining the fun was Lisa Kettell.

 
And joining the fun was Shea Fragoso ... an artist with an AMAZING ART SAVES story coming soon to CRESCENDOh.com.

 

And sweetest of all ... connecting with the supportive mothers of our beloved artists ... the mother of Shea and Lisa. TOTALLY adorable.

 

And joining the mix is the always chic Helle Greer ... with her own ART SAVES story coming soon to CRESCENDOh.

 
And finally, the way I ended my day was to connect with the good people at BEACON adhesives ... a company run by an amazing couple with authentic family values and a deep understanding of quality products, and the power of community.

Four days down. Two days to go. Stay with me ...

Wow! It's like the artistic world's own Red Carpet! Love seeing all these talented and wonderful individuals that you are 'bumping' into at the event! I'm sure the whole show has been amazing. Next time you see Tim Holtz, please get his autograph for me..LOL

What a fantastic event! I'm so glad you shared it with us and I cannot WAIT to start hearing the Art Saves stories... there are so many out there...

I always remember the line by Woody Allen, "I didn't need 15 years of therapy, I just needed to play the guitar." LOL I can relate and I guess a lot of others can too!
