Airplane Mode
On the joy of disconnecting
Hello friends,
Last weekend, we escaped to Mayne Island (in the Gulf Islands) for a few days. The cell service was kind of spotty so I really didn’t look at my phone or read the news much and it was wonderful! I realized the importance of disconnecting completely to get a break from the world that is absolutely not making sense right now.
I remember the joy of flying somewhere with no internet available onboard. I loved that feeling of being away from it all, where nobody could reach you, the original airplane mode!
Speaking of disconnecting, I can definitely say that I am losing interest in social media these days. I used to post on instagram several times a week, now I post maybe 4 times a month (except for the beach stories that I post almost every night). That was last night’s story, look at that sky!
Skillshare News
I have reached the milestone of having one million minutes watched by my students on Skillshare! Wow! Does that make me a minionnnaire? :) I started teaching on Skillshare in May 2018 and I still enjoy adding classes to the platform.
My friend Viviane in the Netherlands, organized a little collage party inspired by my Collage and Stencil class on Skillshare and by my Collage du Jour book. She got together with her daughter, grand-daughters and friends to create these beautiful collages! What a talented group of artists! Thank you so much for sharing this picture with me!
I am working on a mini class right now to teach you how to make my Cheerful Collage Characters that you all love so much! I also have more postcards classes coming later this year but I thought we could all use a little lift and a smile to get us through the rest of the year. What do you think of my two latest characters? I think I should have a naming contest for this little duo, non? Let me know in the comments and I’ll pick my favourite to receive a special prize!
I will leave you with one of my collages from my Collage du Jour series below.
Enjoy the longer and brighter days of spring!
Cheers!
