Belgium Scrawl Crawl through the fields

We spent the day without internet! First we met up at the Café Wellington where Michelle announced news you can't beat - this morning she got a YES!!! Bravo Michelle ;-)

 
 with high spirirts we visited the Ferme de la papellotte...



walked through the fields of waterloo, where we sat and worked - plotting, sketching, revising...



had a lovely lunch and discussed creativity, inspiration, love, life and the world at large over a glass of wine...


we then visited our Illustrator Coordinator in her lovely studio with a view that left us all dreaming...

  2. This makes me want to return to Marie's garden. Did she sketch too? Are there any sketches of the day we can see? Great photos in any case!

    1. thanks Bridget! I hope you can come back to Belgium - and meet our enthusiastic (but growing!) little group. Unfortunately, Marie didn't have time to sketch that day, but it was lovely to stop by and say hello (such a magical place, isn't it?)
      There were a few sketches, but I'm leaving that up to each individual to post - most of us plotted/wrote.

  4. How does she get any work done with that view? I too have a view from the studio, over a beautiful estuary and it is another procrastination temptation.
