Harper's Bizarre: Art Studio & Creative Workspace

Welcome to Harper's Bizarre:  Art Studio and Creative Workspace

 This is a happy place where everyone becomes creative!!!  It is a safe, non-threatening environment where there is no right or wrong.  We are ALL artists..... even if we can't draw!  (It took me a long time to realize this)  Here we make cards, artist's books, journals, collage, assemblage, altered books etc. etc.  We learn all kinds of techniques:  paste papers, marbling, use of all kinds of medium:  alcohol inks, distress inks, color washes, gel medium, molding paste, tar gel on and on and on.  Bottom line:  we enjoy an art experience and camaraderie!

I am computer impaired!

I was determined that I was going to figure out HOW to do this blog thing and design a great page, post pictures, artwork etc.  All I've managed to do is make the few pictures that were on this blog disappear... as well as two categories:  Studio and Art Work.   I MUST find someone to hire to help me!  I do so much better with hands-on design/creativity than this tech-y stuff.  Now I understand how my parents felt when I was growing up and they felt they were being left in a cloud of dust!  I actually broke down and got an iPhone this week.... I don't have a clue of how to use it... plus, my fingers seem to be too large for that teeny-weeny keyboard.  However, I got to see a Brown Booby (Bird not normally found in this area) and somehow by mistake ended up videoing it rather than taking a still picture... turned out to be a great mistake....   now, if only I could figure out how to post it!  I am NOT going to give up....... yet.  :)

WORKING ON BLOG DESIGN

I am FINALLY trying to learn how to actually set up this blogspot. I am sooo computer illiterate... but I have a young, bright person helping and she assures me that we CAN get albums etc. posted!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!

BALI

I have finally arrived on BALI and it is heavenly!!!!!!   I haven't slept in over 40 hours so this will be short and sweet.... just to let you know I arrived safely!!!!   Hope to figure out how to post pictures!!!!
