Sunday my friend, Luanna, and I went to the ‘Chalk It Up’ event that was held in a parking lot here in Prescott.   I’m one of those people who save the pictures from chalk artists that friends send me in emails.   It amazes me how three dimensional those pictures are….you know, the ones that look like you could just walk into a hole in the street and you know it’s just a picture! This was Prescott’s 4 th annual ‘Chalk It Up’ event and I was ready to be impressed! Many of the artists (artists of all ages) started drawing on Saturday and by Sunday afternoon, the art was well underway.   It was a hot day and the artists were getting sun or were shaded by umbrellas and friends.   There was music, popcorn, sodas, and hoola hoops! Looked like everyone was enjoying themselves as we walked down all the aisles deciding which work of art would get our vote. The idea was great!   Give the artists a free box of colored chalk, a patch of parking lot (ashalt) and let them draw.   So here are

Tomorrow morning, Sunday, I will be turning on my computer and signing into Facebook.   Jewelry artists from around the world will be meeting on Tonya Davidson’s Whole Lotta Whimsy Sunday Social Club.   We meet every Sunday and often during the week to share experiences, seek answers, gain inspiration and build friendships.   I had no idea when I signed up for this Sunday event how much I would enjoy and look forward to interacting with these creative people. You might like it too! If you are an artist and want to increase your network, learn new things, get inspired and see what is going on in the world, please join us.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/119787814767278/

When groups of people combine their energies and talents, great things can happen.   The jewelry artists from Whole Lotta Whimsy Sunday Circle are no different.   The circle on Facebook formed by Tonya Davidson http://www.wholelottawhimsy.com   consists artists from around the world.   This group (and yes, I’m part of it) shares experiences, talents, friendship and the commitment to ‘connect, create, and collaborate’.   Take a look at the fan page to see how to join https://www.facebook.com/WholeLottaWhimsy It did not take the group long to realize we could make a small difference in not only our community but the world community.   So we decided to create a project to benefit the victims of the Joplin, MO EF5 tornado that struck at 5:41p on May 22, 2011 killing at least 154 people, and injuring at least 900.   Our Collaboration Charms for Charity project was born.   More than 20 artists from the group produced unique handmade charms to create 6 charm bracelets to be auctioned at
