Mini Vacation





Four wonderful days at the beach. One day we went up to Boulder Creek and Ben Lomond to do some shopping. I have a picture here to show you what we picked up. We could barely fit it in the car. As mixed media artists, everything is fair game. So many of the items will not be recognizable when we are finished with them. One afternoon another local artist - Hi Cyndi! came by to talk about altered books. We had lots of chat and learned a few things from each other. I was glad Sally and Nancy were there to share their work and experiences also. Yesterday we found a spot at Capitola, with the tide at +6 feet with good swells that formed waves that broke at the base of a look-out area. We were there at the right time to have the waves shooting up and over the sidewalk. And it was really warm and sunny, so it was a great experience. None of us did any artwork this trip. We really were tourists for a change. Here are the pics.
