FINDING THAT MOMENT...NOT JUST THAT MOMENT BUT 'THAT' MOMENT

FINDING THAT MOMENT

Ok what the *&^% is she going on about???? Yes well there is sanity and then there is ME.

Busy times ahead I fear. Excitement! Experimentation! Goose Bumps! OMG moment! Sleepless nights! aching muscles! and a deep sense of achievement...

                                      ..................A Deep Sense of Achievement................

Ok so I will spill the beans......

1. Finished Module 1 'Surface Pattern Design'

5 weeks of bliss, excitement and exhilaration.... and to mention creativity. I obtained a mountain of knowledge and skill which not only has impacted positively on my creativity but has given me the boost I need to move forward and test the waters. In my last blog I showcased some designs that I had created during the course. Now I would love to show you the finale of this module. The support network and positive feedback I have received (as all the other candidates received) is overwhelming.

During this course I was inspired to enter competitions...... some finalised and some still awaiting results. I did not enter them believing I'm a winner but more so to feel like I belonged to a community of creative people.

5. I have FINALLY completed what I believe to be the latest LOGO for NYTF. I had considerable help with my Module 1 students and exhausted Dafont.com with viewings of everything they had to offer. I would love your feedback on my new logo.

6.... and finally I entered the Stitched Postcard Swap. This was my first attempt. 

The theme : Celebration.

I was fortunate enough to have my Postcard buddy to be Jen Cook from Canada. She was so gracious to send me this photograph of her holding my Postcard and her kind and wonderful words regarding my efforts were humbling.... thanks Jen. I'm sooooo excited with anticipation to receive her Postcard and will surely give you all a sneak peek once it arrives.

As much as I should be promoting my postcard I'm IN LOVE with the painting behind Jen..... so mysterious.

WHOOPS YOU WOULD THINK I KNEW MY OWN EMAIL!!! I have updated my email link below.

Thank you again for your valuable time reading this blog. If you managed to get this far then you will be happy to know I have a little surprise for you. Email the word 'Elemental' to natalie@nytf.com.au to receive your surprise.

PS: Very excited about Module 2 starting next month woot woot.

Cheers,
