an artful voyage - day 2 at sea

Tuesday, October 13th
We were supposed to be in Cabo San Lucas today, but a tropical storm has changed our itinerary.  So, today is a sea day, which means my group has Wendy's mega class, 8:30am-12:00 noon.
We made inspiration boards.  The top half is for decoration, the bottom is cork for hanging whatever we need to look at to move us creatively.
We covered the boards with dress pattern paper, then grungepaper flowers, leaves, and other embellishments.  We could add whatever title we wanted, so I used my blog's name:

I love it!  It's already hanging in my studio.

And now, some random shots around the ship:

The dining room where we ate every night at 6:00.  My table was #300, and what a great group of women!  By the end of the cruise we were friends, and calling ourselves Club 300.  We all exchanged email info and even have club nicknames.  For some odd reason (hah!) I'm called Bronx.  Hmmm...wonder why???

All the ship elevators have a small insert that is changed daily.  At first we all thought, "duh," but after a day or two no one knew the day of the week without looking at the elevator floor.  Can I get these for my apartment???

How cool is this?  We had the entire conference center for our group alone.  Tim's and Wendy's classrooms, the deadly-on-the-checkbook market place, and the wonderful fully stocked, always open art studio.

More later....
