I’m putting a new palette together because there I’m putting a new palette together because there are NO palettes that I inherently adore and they all need a bunch of work but yes, neon pink gets a full pan all to itself.

The polaroid wall has more faces on it. 

My ephemera stash was well and truly raided. 

Small bits left on the two-dining-tables-big art table. 

Happy.

I've been waiting until I could put into words what this May meetup adventure meant to me. Jokes on me because I'm still not there, so I'll share messily. 

In May 2014, 9 years ago, Get Messy begun between two people. I could never have imagined that it would become what it is. 

I could never, in my wildest dreams, even begin to dream this whole thing up. I couldn't even imagine the ingredients that brought all of it together.

And then meeting in person.

Having V, G, E, C, P, A, L, H, M, and T breathing the same air as me? Having them share an art table, share supplies, physically write in my journal, let me TOUCH theirs (and SMELL theirs!). 

To see @myheartdreaming's handstitched Get Messy logo on her journal and her shirt. Laugh at @fern.and.oak.art's jokes in real time. Witness an actual halo of neon around @monaschreibt. Fall in love with @messianse's actual handmade shirt (and bravery). See @dansmoncrane sketch our collective supplies. Spot @gillywelch21's unicorn hair in a crowd. @lottefirlefanz's pure inspiration from her constant showing up through art. Feel the warmth from Phoebe's hug and presence.
Meet @marakreativstudio's adorable family and watch her lettering Get Messy into her journal. The creative partners, the good men.

To speak Afrikaans and Flemish and German and ENGLISH. To speak art journaling. 

To witness the shining lights from each artist, tangibly, in PERSON. It's an honour. I'm in awe of these women.

So I guess I didn't put anything into words. Just more "pinch me, I'm dreaming". 

I'm already looking at flights to the US for Get Messy's 10 years.

And next year is going to be even better ...
