I Do Declare, We Just Might Be Blushing!!!

"Creative Therapy" blogs:
On Monday, a large pile of mail arrived at our office. Among the ordinary business mail, I was delighted by the appearance of a lusciously decorated envelope from Canada. Don't you love that wonderful feeling of unexpectedly receiving something intriguing?

With the joy of a child opening a birthday present, I unwrapped my treasure to find: a copy of the premiere edition of Gypsy Wagon zine (which I'd forgotten I had ordered! I often do that. Consequently, I get lots of delightful surprises in the mail!). I read it from cover to cover twice-
and have continued to dip into it over the past few days. I love it!

Gypsy Wagon is the creation of the very talented, inspiring Krystin Clark-Goodsell. It's a travelling wagon of Creative Adventures brimming with art, musings, and creative prompts. My favourite image is "Cast The Circle" which reminds me of Henri Matisse's work The Dance (I like Krystin's version better!). This inaugral issue of Gypsy Wagon features an insightful Artist Encounter with one of my favourite artists, the delightfully bohemian Ms. Violette (whom I've written about in previous posts). Also in this issue is a free Artist Trading Card kit, and artists are invited to submit images of their creations to the Gypsy Wagon.

A zine is an independent, limited-edition publication- usually created and distributed by the artist/writer and often with a particular theme. There's a whole world of Creative Adventurers out there creating zines, and Gypsy Wagon is one of the best I've seen!

Now if you'll excuse me... I have an Artist Trading Card project to get started on"

Thank you so very much for your kind words Creative! I'm equally happy you enjoyed your copy! Issue #2 is hot in the works, and should be ready for distribution no later than Labour Day.
