~ ZNE ConvenZioNE 2009 ~

Have YOU heard?? It's ZNE ConvenZioNE time again!! Well, soon anyways, but ya gotta register ahead of time in order to go! Last Year I had the extreme pleasure of attending the 1st ever ZNE ConvenZioNE (you can read about it here) I met some wonderul Famous Artists! Such as B Original's Michele Beschen ! I met Michele on the first day during lunch, she is such a wonderful person. She was the Emcee for the Evening Program. And then there was Succulent Wild Woman herself SARK! She has a truely amazing story! I felt so inspired after I attended the breakfast with her. I even bought one of her books! I also go to meet some wonderful Creative Souls that I had chatted with online through the ZNE Site! I took the Fabulous JoAnnA Pierotti's Nestled ~ Thinking Inside the Box. I really enjoyed meeting her and the other gals that I had met in the class. All are such fabuouls Artist. I even won JoAnnA's drawing for the book she is featured in "Art Making, Collections, and Obsessions: An Intimate Exploration of the Mixed-Media Work and Collections of 35 Artists" This was a book that I was eyeing at the bookstore just a week prior to atteneding and something told me just to wait a bit before I bought it! I am so glad I did, because it meant so much more to coming from JoAnnA. We spent the afternoon creating and laughing in a Gorgeous Estate in Livermore!
