It is hard to come back to reality after such an amazing few days in Park City at the Art Nest, so many highlights of the fabulous artists and wonderful friendships made those few days.
the very first night, we had dinner at the French Bistro on Main Street, the sun was going down and the light was just perfect. Our first little gathering with the most wonderful food. I had the trout laid on a bed of green beans and mashed potatoes with a garlic lemon butter sauce. It was the best food i have had this summer. I will admit I am a foodie..........but this dinner couldn't have been more perfect. Most of us were licking our fingers (and our plates) by the end of dessert. Molton Lava Cake served under candlelight.
the next day was our class with Stephanie Lee. She was such a generous teacher with real knowledge about her materials. We were joking her saying she could of been a science teacher. 
Here is my little junk jewelry suitcase with all of my goodies to use in her class.
These are her creations that she demonstrated each of the techniques with. Aren't they beautiful? The heart was one of my favorites.
The next day we enjoyed a little whimsey with Carla Sonheim. What a joy to be around such a giving soul. She stretched our imaginations with some resistance, but by the end of class most of us were letting go and having fun.
Char was so excited about her little bird she made. I love this smile.

Julie Thompson's watercolor. she was amazing....
Julie Collings watercolor. I love the hair........
Day three
The last day was fabric tapestry with Alma Stoller. This was the perfect class for a Saturday afternoon. As you can see everyone was enjoying themselves and having so much fun picking through all of the fabric.
Alma was very good at having a demo and then letting us go to our piece and try it out. There was so much to learn and do we could have worked on these all night.
Here is Julie showing us her book cover nestled inside her little suitcase. We have a thing for these little junk suitcases if you can't tell.
Our sweet Maija ........who is our little art nest mama......it was so fun to have her at the nest again. She looks amazing and is such a dear.
Happy art nest everyone.

I read about Art Nest in the Somerset Life magazine and then saw your link on another blog. I just love the idea. I have a spot picked out to host one for my friends, but now wonder how to put it all together.
You've inspired me! The gears are turning!
thank you!
Hi!! I am so excited to come across your blog. I had no idea that Art Nest was in Utah!! It is a small World!! I see you have not blogged for a while....
I live in Sandy and have been in 17 Stampington magazines. I was thrilled to be in 4 different issues during the holidays at Barnes and Noble!! I will check back and see what you girls are up to.
