Judy, Judy, Judy

I have been a fan of Judy Wilkenfeld's book art since the very first time I saw it.I've followed her blog like a star-struck teenaged girl follows the Jonas Brothers.I don't know if mixed-media artists have groupies, but if they do, I count myself among Judy's.So if you need someone to organize a fan club or anything Judy, just let me know.Because I love your art and the things you've inspired me to create . . . Did anyone else attend your back-to-back U.S. workshops on both the West and East Coasts?
I didn't think so.

Your biggest fan

    I knew from Judy's FB posts that y'all were having a good time. I am so excited for you!!!
    I'm a goupie from afar as I've taken Michael's class and have seen and briefly talked with Judy in that context.
    I would love to learn how to make amazing books.
    When the time is right I will.
    Until then, I drool over yours, and Judy's.
    Glad you had such a good time away.

    Dear Stiffie:

    Your adoration of Judy is obvious... But I had the satisfaction of having Judy give me that "Come hither" look, provided I was steaming the milk for her morning coffee while I was hithering.

    And it was a real thrill to have dinner with Karen Kole, Michele Ward, and Judi Riesch. It was utterly amazing how the discussion at one end of the table was about color, light, and various techniques to capture both; while Karen's husband Bob and I discussed motorcycle horsepower, the vitamin content of cigars, and the healing properties of rum. Art does bring out the best in everyone.

    Even more amazing was the fact that I had Judy calling you "Stiffie," by the end of dinner. Although I am shocked at the ladies lockeroom explanation most women assume it stems from.

    It was just great, Stiffie. You artists certainly known how to show a couple of guys a good time.

    From the guy whose office is separated from your studio by a kitchen.

    Jack

    I wondered where you were! You do such lovely work. I'm so envious! I can barely figure out what color to paint the bedroom!!! (I ended up sponging 3 different shades of blue, with a cream to blend it all.) And you've piqued my curiosity...

    LOVE your homage to Judy and all the comments forthwith. :-) GREAT reading! I didn't get to work on my book as I had planned during the rest of my vacation. I'll have to wait a few weeks or so to get back to it while I catch up on life. But after reading this post, I may have to reconsider my priorties!!!

    I soooo enjoyed spending time with you! I'll be looking forward to the next time our paths cross!

    Big hugs,
    Michelle
