Life in the Big Top and a welcome distraction!

The Next season of Mermaid Circus  starts next week. This time Teesha and I are limiting the class numbers and we are nearly full!

Mermaid Circus September 2013

But rather than me telling you about the magic we created
how about I hold up a seashell and you can hear
the whispers from the Mermaids themselves:

“The deliciousness of the videos in this class has been beyond words.
I continue to love watching your art and teaching evolve, Jane!
You have taught me so much, through all your classes, and I never get tired
of watching you pull forth another wondrous being from the page.”
Susan Z
.
“Of all the workshops I’ve taken over the past couple of years,
this is the one that really grabbed me and wouldn’t let go…in a good way!

Student artwork created in Mermaid Circus!
“Oh fantastic Jane-what work ethic you have!
Packing so much in right to the end-…
I can only describe it as the catalyst
for setting a big shift into action somehow. ”
Jan K
.
“When I opened my email announcing the arrival of the Mermaid Circus,
I couldn’t believe my luck! My 2 favorite artists were getting together to
teach a class celebrating my favorite subject, Mermaids.
It just had to be magical – and let me say, it is!…

I thank you both for all your fabulous inspiration and gentle instruction.
You have made my little art world a dreamy, fun and uplifting place to be in.
I never want to stop swimming in these creative waters!

“Jane and Teesha, your Mermaid Circus class has been nothing short of astounding!
I have loved every part of it over the last 8 weeks and can’t believe how quickly time
has flown! …The videos have given us a birds eye view into your studios,
arts and your busy, creative minds. They are treasures.

…You have nurtured a wonderful warm group of mermaids within Facebook!
It has been a safe place to share and meet new friends….
Thank you both for giving so much of yourselves to your mermaid clan.

I am totally thrilled to have been a part of this special group.”
Robyn W

Wow, I think, is the best word to describe the Mermaid Circus.
(Well maybe WOW WOW WOW is better!). Wow best encompasses the
anticipation and enthusiasm that I felt not only before the workshop started,
but all the way through, as well.

It also expresses the admiration I feel for both of the ringleaders, Teesha and Jane,
both of which I was well familiar with. And it was such a pleasure to be part of
such a fabulous group of artists, all mermaids/clowns/artists in their own right.
I was constantly filled with awe, wonder and total amazement during the
entire time and it will remain long into the future.

And there were thrills, and surprises around each and every corner.
This has been a truly extraordinary adventure into the deep. …

The techniques, tips, secrets, bits of wisdom
and encouragements were over the “big” top.

My brain is swimming with inspiration …
And my art table is full of many WIP, so much so that I have had to leave notes
with each one and a list of ideas that are just percolating …

 

A big wow to learning new, expanding my borders and unfolding my wings
(or rather fins). Mermaid Circus is definitely the greatest show on earth!!!

So when I say Mermaid Circus was beloved and awesome, I mean it.
