The West Valley Mixed Media Arts Group Is Born!
This year, when I saw my friend, Angie, at Art Unraveled, we once again talked about how we needed to start a mixed media art group over on our side of Phoenix, the West Valley. We've talked about this now for three years. It turns out that she's been talking to her best friend, Fran, about it and Fran wants a group, too. In the meantime, a group got started in the East Valley out in Mesa, AZ. They've been having fun. And now, another AU attendee, Reva Solomon, has started a group in LA, and they're all having fun too.
I started thinking about it some more. Then I went to The Creative Quest last Saturday to pick up some needed supplies. (An Aside: Why do 'needed supplies' always cost $127.57??? It doesn't matter where I get them, that's what they cost!) While there, I talked to Kathie Shepard, one of the owners, about our need to start a group and found out that Kathie agreed. Better yet, she offered to see if it would fit into the store's schedule. We found a spot for it in the schedule and now have an announcement to make.
The West Valley Mixed Media Arts group will meet for the first time at The Creative Quest on 57th Drive in Old Downtown Glendale at 7 PM on Tuesday, October 7th, 2008!
Please RSVP by clicking here, and let me know how many people you're bringing. We need to know so that we have enough chairs and cookies! Click here for Google Maps and get directions for getting there.
The plan is to get to know each other a little, discuss what we want out of this group and some loose organization, and to talk about art!

- Bring a name tag you have on hand or make one to wear just for this.
- Bring your favorite beverage, I'll bring the cookies.
- Bring one or two pieces of your work to show if you have anything you'd like to share. Depending on the turnout, we'll each get a couple to five minutes to talk about who we are, where we are, and what we do with our art.
- Join the wvmm Yahoo Group and get all of the info we've got to share!
See you there!!!

Oh, I wish I could come too. I could bring a can of diet coke and heaps of enthusiasm. Have fun :-)
I am waiting for my copy of Maggie Grey's book too and the new Quilting Arts magazine. I just know the book will come on Thursday when we are out, and I'll have to wait another day before we can collect it from the depot. It's not easy to be patient sometimes is it? By the way, I love 123 Silly Mountain Road - can I rent it for a holiday please?!
