<br />
Thanks to Betty, we were able to use her church activity room which was large enough to hold all of us and all the tables we needed, AND it had running water! Great room and met all our needs with no problem.<br />
<br />
We ordered scarf kits from <a href="http://www.suzannemorgan.com/">Suzanne Morgan</a> in some of the most amazing colors. The kits are so complete we didn't need much else except the basic equipment. Check out Suzanne's web site, and her Etsy store,<br />
<a href="http://www.nunofeltingsupplies.etsy.com/">http://www.nunofeltingsupplies.etsy.com/</a> for supplies and kits.<br />
<br />
So....here's what we looked like!<br />

I've had quite a few people ask "just what is the Altered Minds Group"? My husband refers to us as the Fractured Minds Group! lol! So for those of you who don't know, we are a group of women who all do different forms of art....surface design..which includes painting, beading, paper art, metal, quilting, fabric art, found objects, book making, doll making, quilling, etc. In order to belong, you have to agree to take your turn teaching the group. I'm always so inspired by these ladies and look forward to every meeting!<br />
<br />
The September meeting of our Altered Minds Group was a real hands on learning experience! Our beloved leader, Ellen, shared how she makes some of her fabulous faces, using paper clay. I'd never worked with paper clay before, so this was quite interesting to me and opened the door for all kinds of possibilities.<br />

One of the requirements of membership is to share your art by teaching or demonstrating.....and this summer, in spite of all the vacation and snowbird comings and goings, has been busy! Personally, I haven't been able to keep up or attend all of them, but the reports from the "gals" have been rave reviews. <br />
<br />
Since I don't have a pictorial accounting of all the classes this summer, I decided to show you some of the beautiful designs from our members. Most were taking on a tour we did of several homes, where we got to see how they incorporate their art into their decor. Take a look. I'm in awe of how talented these ladies are!<br />

We come from all over, have a variety of skills, and enjoy each other and sharing what we know. This past meeting was no different. <br />
<br />
It's always a kick to see what these ladies can make out of things I never imagined. Ellen can take a piece of driftwood and create a gorgeous wood nymph sculpture, adding moss and pine cones, etc. Her painting is flawless and the faces are dreamy.<br />
<br />
Edda, Betty, Penny and Terry are masters with fiber and cloth. (If I left anyone out, sorry!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Jill M is a fantastic artist, with gorgeous pen and ink designs, Jill B is a bead artist who also makes beautiful paper and equally beautiful items from the paper. <br />
<br />
Darlene is a genius in creating designs from found objects, old things and bits and pieces of everything.<br />
Her designs are always thoughtful and have great meaning. <br />
<br />
Trish can do decoupage lovelies using things like old coffee filters. I swear, I'd have never thought of that. <br />
<br />
I can go on and on....and starting next month I'm going to take each artist, one by one, and interview them so you can see for yourself how amazing all these ladies are. I apologize if I didn't mention someone in this short essay, but it wasn't intentional, just a matter of time. I'll make sure everyone gets their due...as they so deserve it!!!! And we have so many new members, I'm still learning about them.<br />
<br />
Here's some pics of everyone's latest creations.<br />

Sherry, who follows the stars and her heart, placed particular significance on all those tens! <br />
<br />
As part of the preparation for her ceremony, Sherry requested that a group of us participate in a henna party - painting her body for the ceremony. The idea is that she sits on her "throne" and we not only paint her, but feed her and provide her with drink, because she really can't move much while we're painting her. <br />
<br />
Everyone brought a ton of food....great stuff! <br />
<br />
Mind you, most of us had never done this before. Sherry is an expert and does it often for her customers...but she had to teach us at one of the meetings. I had to have private lessons, since I wasn't able to attend the first session. It was fun, and very interesting. I know we all were touched to be such a significant part of Sherry's preparations. <br />
<br />
Here's some pictures!<br />

I know I sure learned a lot, having forgotten all those "rules" in drawing from way back in my college days. (waaaay back...no wonder I've forgotten!) And Betty was so gracious and patient, while we tried our hand at drawing "in perspective".<br />

<br />
They teach me so much about art and about myself.<br />
They encourage me,<br />
empower me and inspire me.<br />
<br />
We are, all of us, the<br />
Altered Minds.<br />
<br />
I met them first in the Progress Energy Art Gallery.<br />
<br />
Think about that.<br />
(my vocation involves raising the individual<br />
and collective, universal vibration)<br />
<br />
How cool:<br />
<br />
I was circled<br />
by this herd of beautiful goddesses<br />
to carry my art to a new level.<br />
<br />
My energy is, indeed, progressing.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, when I first attended <br />
an Altered Minds meeting<br />
at the town library, <br />
the power (again, energy) was out.<br />
<br />
What I noticed right off,<br />
was this:<br />
<br />
they discussed possibilities<br />
and it was clear that they were solution oriented.<br />
They looked this direction and that,<br />
talked through a few ideas,<br />
and, viola,<br />
within perhaps twenty minutes,<br />
we were sitting in a clubhouse<br />
a mile, or so, <br />
down the road.<br />
<br />
They accepted Challenge with a smile,<br />
or at least, with a shrug,<br />
and dove into the flow of, “well, now…“.<br />
<br />
That was it. <br />
They were stuck with me.<br />
<br />
Besides, while all of the “figuring out” was going on,<br />
one of the ladies was <br />
ooooing and aaaaahing over the doll I was carrying.<br />
<br />
I have adored the woman, ever since.<br />
<br />
Once we relocated, the meeting commenced,<br />
which was a mixture art-related happenings,<br />
updates on a few absent members’ health,<br />
brief introduction of everyone<br />
to benefit a few of we newbies (I believe we were three),<br />
and a statement of the clear expectations of the group.<br />
<br />
When it was time for lunch <br />
I mostly listened to them<br />
and watched<br />
as the lady who had complemented my doll<br />
set up some serious stuff on the table<br />
in preparation for <br />
(one of the coolest parts <br />
of my early elementary school routines):<br />
<br />
Show and Tell. <br />
<br />
Imagine what fun this is, comprised of the following:<br />
Among this group, there are <br />
doll makers,<br />
quilters (traditional and otherwise),<br />
photographers,<br />
sculptors,<br />
potters,<br />
beaders,<br />
spinners,<br />
weavers,<br />
painters<br />
and adventurous types<br />
who travel <br />
with the sole intent of learning a new layer of art.<br />
<br />
From them I have learned to<br />
dye fabric with zeal<br />
(which is a state of fun-ness, not a product)<br />
as well as how to <br />
bleach the color out of fabric, with style.<br />
<br />
I was shown how to<br />
more capably draw faces.<br />
I have also made paper <br />
by layering other paper, thread, fronds and <br />
whatever else suited my fancy, together.<br />
<br />
I have learned to paint fabric <br />
and to create spaces between the colors<br />
which look like a batik technique,<br />
but is not.<br />
<br />
I have embellished paper with methods <br />
I never had heard of:<br />
from soap bubbles on shiny paper<br />
to gold leaf on coffee filters,<br />
some of which I later made into greeting cards<br />
and some I saved with intent<br />
to include in the altered book<br />
I am beginning,<br />
<br />
(also, of course,<br />
with their influence and suggestions).<br />
<br />
I have created a wire armature lizard<br />
which, from what I understand, means<br />
that now I can create <br />
any form I want <br />
in a similar fashion.<br />
<br />
I have learned how to better utilize some networking artsy sites online,<br />
with a special focus on etsy.<br />
<br />
I've enjoyed a weaving of herStory <br />
as viewed through the traditional women's art of quilting.<br />
<br />
This month<br />
I was guided to tool metal,<br />
as I composed and constructed earrings,<br />
which I made for someone else, I thought,<br />
but which the ladies said,<br />
I was meant to wear, myself.<br />
<br />
I love meeting with my cohorts:<br />
these crafty, artsy ladies,<br />
who have generously become my friends;<br />
<br />
the Altered Minds.<br />
<br />
Often, we have silly conversations.<br />
Sometimes we chatter a bit too much,<br />
but our moderator usually can keep us in line<br />
and we always enjoy the talent shared.<br />
<br />
Some of us see each other at meetings of other sorts<br />
(mostly the doll makers and quilters, I think).<br />
Sometimes there are field trips<br />
to member’s homes or studios,<br />
or to artsy shows.<br />
<br />
We are Collectors <br />
of snippets of thread,<br />
of jars of buttons, <br />
of spools of ribbon, <br />
and stacks of upholstery samples.<br />
<br />
Many of us own rolls and reams of paper,<br />
glass pieces and vessels of every sort,<br />
bowls of seashells, <br />
cans of paintbrushes,<br />
multiple sewing machines<br />
stacks of fabric <br />
and whatever falls into our laps<br />
or piles itself, somehow,<br />
into our individual spaces.<br />
<br />
Among these large collections,<br />
items bubble up to the top.<br />
When it is apparently time to let it go,<br />
we bring it to the group<br />
and someone else adopts it.<br />
<br />
We are kind, <br />
funny, smart,<br />
beautiful, wise,<br />
wonder-filled, expansive,<br />
phenomenal, inspired,<br />
welcoming, supportive,<br />
generous and responsible women.<br />
<br />
Our ages span more than forty years distance<br />
but there is no such gap <br />
where we touch the heart of one another <br />
as teachers, students, friends and sisters.<br />
<br />
I love these ladies<br />
and I look forward to <br />
the second Tuesday of the month<br />
when I get to share<br />
four blessed hours <br />
among with the Altered Minds.<br />
<br />

Not only do we have show and tell, where everyone gets to show what they've been doing for the past month, but we exchange ideas, techniques and show updates. Often we show how we used the last meeting's demonstration to make something on our own. <br />
<br />
This last meeting was no different. So many lovely things....so many talented people. Here's just a couple of shots of what was seen at show and tell!<br />

Bleach was flying everywhere from those crazy spray bottles and I fear some of us went home wearing unintended bleach splotches! But it was so much fun and I don't think anyone minded!<br />

<br />
We're a group of crazy but talented women/ladies/girls, all artists of varying genres, who get together once a month to share our latest creations and to learn from one another. Most of us dabble in a little of everything. We let our imaginations run wild, nothing is safe! From gorgeous life like doll making, beading, painting, fabric embellishment, metals, photography, and much more - to turning found objects into works of art. <br />
