Christine, just love your daily updates. Those falls are spectacular. Was great to hear you all having such a fun time lots of laughter and creativity. Enjoy ❤
I am really enjoying your daily updates, Christine. Its just so lovely to hear how much you are enjoying this workshop with Fleur and to see what you've been doing. Amazing ♥
@@createandcraftwithchristine it's all good,really. I'm on a cruise ship sailing up the coast, participating in a crochet cruise program. I really cannot whinge. Have a fantastic time.
Looking forward to your updates❤ your joy is so obvious that it is a pleasure listening to your stories! Thanks for letting me participate to this incredible adventure ,Christine!
Thank you beautiful friend - thank you for joining on this incredible adventure and I mentioned you while chatting with Rachel just the other day and we both said how sweet you are 💙🧵🪡
The garden is so inspirational Christine, I'm envious of you being in Fleur's class ( in the nicest way) it's lovely of you to share little snippets of your class today. Looking forward to you checking in on us as you create. ❤
Thank you Kerri abd hopefully you may one day be able to attend a workshop with Fleur. It has opened up a whole other world of creating for me. Cheers, Christine
oooh oooh for the little tufts amongst the lichen, wonder if you could use orts for that? What a fabulous old tree.Looks like such a beautiful part of the world and your birds are so much more exotic than ours! Wow that piece you've been working today looks amazing, can't wait to see how you colour them, it's so inspiring to see what you're working on, wondering if I could try something similar to sit my mushrooms on .... oh Christine I would so love to be there with you all, what a wonderful experience, you'll be drawing on all of these ideas for many months to come, thanks for sharing the fun with us :)
You will love to see how our ideas merged in this piece and it had been such a joy just adding to this piece across the week. Fleur calls this stage of adding lots of details “geeking out” and I have been having a ball doing this as you will see in the next instalments 💙🧵🪡
You definitely sound like you're in your element, and full to the brim with joy and inspiration. Looks like a beautiful part of the country. Enjoy, and thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I wish you could be here too Linda and I’m sure you would draw so much inspiration and would love to be surrounded by the creative energy. Cheers, Christine
Oh my goodness this looks like so much fun. When Rachel was talking about this retreat I was so excited for her. Wish I was there. Your pieces are so fun🎉
What a fun project. Love your interpretation of it all. The ideas you have are amazing. The air dry lay is a great idea. Love following along. This may be your first retreat, but I have a feeling it wot be your last! Hugs. ❤
It is amazing how I have been able to work into this little piece for four days and still can see things to add. The air dry clay shapes are definitely something that add an extra textural and structural element. Definitely won’t be my last for sure! 💙
It's wonderful to hear the birds. You are going to have wonderful samples of a variety of techniques by the end of this workshop. Thank you for sharing a bit of your experience with us - so many of us won't have the opportunity. 😊
I love the birds sounds here too. Abd you’re so right that it has been great to have the chance to see so many different techniques for creating texture and also get to play with them in such a relaxed space. Cheers, Christine
Haha yes that was the rare spotted Alex-a-saurus 😆 This region is truly lovely. Today the most swept in for mysterious looking landscapes. Cheers, Christine
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Fleur and the way she nurtures and supports her workshop participants to have the most joyful time but also create in such a lovely way. I really hope you can attend one of her workshops. I’d love to come to one of her NZ workshops one day too 💚 cheers, Christine
Wow! Seems like great fun to be there! Your project looks very tactile, feels like running your hand through a sheep’s wooly hair. Are you painting those artistically shaped clay? Thank you for bringing us along your nature walk, the waterfall is impressive! Take care. 🌷tess
These projects are incredibly tactile, particularly the smaller size I am working with as it sits beautifully in the hands and as you work into the piece you get beautiful undulating ridges and valleys in the piece. I’m really happy to be sharing some of the beauty of this magical place. Cheers, Christine
Thanks for showing your work looks interesting . Have you seen Susan Taylor Brown on you tube she does a lot of fibre art . Best peter Scotland ps glad you got rid of your kidney stones had them myself best Peter
Thank Peter - my compassion for you as someone who has experienced kidney stones. I have seen a few of Susan’s videos and will be sure to check out more too. Cheers, Christine
Sounds like you are having a lovely time and so glad you are sharing your experience with us,wish I was there..

Still very envious, I’ll just have to live it vicariously through your stories.
I just know you’d get so much out of a workshop like this. It has my mind racing!
