Remnants from the meetup (the last pic is my favou Remnants from the meetup (the last pic is my favourite!) 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 ... #getmessyartjournal #getmessymay
The studio is quiet (too quiet!) again but remnant The studio is quiet (too quiet!) again but remnants of the meet-up are still around. Half a happy birthday sign (@getmessyartjournal turned 9!), bits of ephemera, paint on the tables, a messy table that I refuse to clean up.
Highly recommend getting together with a group of Highly recommend getting together with a group of artists for curing any kind of creative desert. This journal is chuuuuuunky, and almost done and I can’t believe last week actually happened.
