NEW SHOP!

Spring 2008 Update!
Although we have opened a shop on Etsy, currently no inventory has been posted. If you are interested in visiting our shop/studio, please visit our website and contact us through the bio section.


After 10 wonderfully successful years, we took a breather from Art Bound Camp due to a kitchen rennovation in 2007! We're restructuring our 2008 summer plans and workshops!

Creative Digital Journaling: Food for Play/Thought

The Journal Lady® has been fluctuating between hands-on journaling with:
• traditional art supplies and
• digital journaling with photographs manipulated in Photoshop.

Note: Antoinette's recent feature on "The Painter's Keys" popular website (click title above) . . . for an interesting article.

Many times photographic images began with mundane subject matter which quickly transpired into challenging compositions. In this particular case, a hospital tray of •BLAH• food was transformed into an Andy Warholized poster which was taken one step further as a CONTEST! . . . . playing with one's food was definitely in order with this exercise.

Dedicated, Fun Play!

The camp week is usually culminated with a piece which has developed in stages every day, using various techniques such as watercolor washes, resists, tissue collage, pressed flowers from A Writer's Garden and lettering. Quotations are selected to compliment the piece and generally take the form of a short poem, a few words, or a haiku.

A Delicious Summer

Summer was colorful, creative and delicious! A few of the Art Bound Campers brought special snacks to share. The Journal Lady® used all her senses to appreciate the contributions. Swirling memories of a fruit platter was one way of capturing the moment!

Camp is filling quickly. We're booked for the week of July 24th. Click on "Filling UP" and call NOW to reserve your place for our most exciting year to date!
