Jump into January - Tangle Hunt!

Jump into January - Putney VT - January 2013
Friday - Tangle Hunt

Yes, they said we were crazy to schedule our latest day event for January in Vermont but what the heck - go for it - it's southern Vermont after all and the Putney Inn is located directly off the highway! Well - no problems - the January thaw was with us and our biggest problem was the fog. We had no new snow or weather related travel delays. (Melissa Hoopes can fill you in on traffic related delays in NY though!)

Sadelle Wiltshire organized a fantastic event for those of us who arrived early on Friday - a Tangle Hunt! So pith helmets on and khaki clad we armed ourselves with Pigma pens, sketch pads and cameras! We headed deep into Brattleboro Vermont. Along the way we gathered ideas and inspiration and the locals tempted us with coffees, mulled cider, fabric, buttons, sari covered sketchbooks and more! 

Okay, we didn't really wear pith helmets and khaki but we did shop and enjoy lots of visual treats! There we are ready to go hunting - at The Works Bakery Cafe.

First stop - A Candle in the Night. The had these cool large scale collage pieces out of found wood stuff - they were awesome!

       

Texiles and this cool thing!

Lounging ladies

At Delectable Mountain ---  Fabric! Oh My!

And at Adivasi Rajasthan, India store

The big blankets looked cool all rolled up!

Sound advice at Beadniks!
