Dispatch from LA

MARY ANN MOSS

Full Tilt Boogie Sneak Peek…

I have been working away over here in Beatrix Potterville.  But alas my animal friends have NOT been helping me!  I've been going it alone.  And enjoying every mess-making minute of it.  There are piles of books & albums on every surface.  I leave a paper trail in every room.  Journaling my heart out.  I'm a fireball of ideas.  Full Tilt Boogie.  It's a labor of pure love.  That's a true story.

 

Video Music = "Fold" by José González

Final details coming by June 1st, Wednesday.  Class begins June 17th and will run for 4 long lovely weeks.  I'm looking forward.

  1. Hi Mary Ann
    Thanks for the video and also details of the class – like everyone else, I just can’t wait! I’ve been in hospital recently for major surgery and this class is my treat to myself – or as I like to call it – compulsory convalencence!
    I so enjoyed the ROD class, I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to this one!
    Best wishes

  6. Thanks, Mary Ann!! I shall think of you while riding the trams in Cascais and of course I shall be taking tons of photos and gathering all sorts of journal fodder while I am in Portugal. Surely June 17, 2011 will be a red letter day in my artful life, given that two such amazing adventures with 3 such fabulous teachers will be beginning at the same time. :))))

  8. I can’t view videos from my government computer at work–I like to spend my lunch hour blog hopping. I always check you out first!!! So after dinner and a nap checked out your video and it is TANTALIZING!! (Just went brain dead so I may not have spelled that right) This class is just what I need to engage my inner “craft monkey”–I have been dormant for FAR too long!! Thank you for doing what you do, exactly how you do it.

  11. …so there I was, cleaning up my wreck-of-an-office when BEHOLD! Three vintage scrapbooks literally fell into my hands from a tall shelf. I had totally forgotten that they existed. There was a great little shop next to my store and NOW I remember scoring them, then thinking: “….Great. NOW what??!!!”
    Okay, now we know NOW what.

  12. I will be wishing June away until the opening day of class!!!! Thank you so much for this exciting artistic adventure. CAN’T WAIT to get started!

  14. Cynthia, portugal w/ teesha & tracy??? WHAT FUN! you will love Cascais. I did! Ride the trams for me at night with your noggin hung out the window. promise?
    FTB will be open forever and ever. no expiration date. when you get back from exploring with T&T we’ll be here waiting for you :-))
    xo

  18. I’m hoping your answer to Cynthia’s question is . . . the videos will be available longer than the 4 weeks beginning June 17 . . . I REALLY want to do this but prior commitments won’t allow me to keep up. Your video teaser did the trick . . . I’m in! Can’t I send my money NOW? LOL!

  19. Hey Maryann! I thought you might like this website with downloadable printable planner pages. Apparently the owner has taken your ROD class. She made a CUTE pencil carrier. Scroll down the blog to see how she has used ROD methods to make a planner! CUTE CUTE #rightupyouralley

    p.s. Summer term is in session and I”m prodding myself to do lots of good homework so that I can reward myself with a Full Tilt Boogie class! Me=rabbit; You=carrot. 🙂

  20. I have felt way over here the busy patterings going on over at Moss Cottage. The unfurling of the blossoms (esp. the Epi’s), the pattering of fur feet as they ramble about bringing you gifts for recognition, the swell of a jazzy tune from your stereo, and the whirring of hummingbirds and video tape. A happiness place.

  22. Oh my…just when I think that I can’t take it anymore…you come up with more…lol Quit twisting my arm…ouch!

  24. I am totally in, can’t wait, have 4 vintage albums ready and waiting to go but dismayed to see June 17th is the start date, as I head off to Portugal with Teesha & Tracy Moore that day for 9 days of journalling there (sounds awful, doesn’t it? NOT!). So I am hoping that one can catch up if they were to start a week later and/or that the videos etc will be available for a long time after that initial 4 weeks???

  28. spent a joyful wad at ebay on the lovely albums… can’t wait to tear them up!!
    then realized I had a stash which I rescued from the Library’s dumpster after they annual sale….
    not albums but very groovy books.

  29. Oh my! This looks like the perfect summer project! Can’t wait till school’s out!! 🙂

  30. Oh my goodness…what deliciousness! I have missed your posts but give you full permission to write less and create more. Will be doing this class!

  31. sharon w. good question! i will not be demoing with a hardcover book….hadnt planned to anyway. Whatever you see me do with an album can indeed be done with a hardcover book – the exact same thing. You can make 2 of the 3 journals using the old books. More info on this on June 1st…1 day away 🙂

  33. M.A.M., Sounds like a fun and artsy summer for me!
    Can hardly wait for it to begin!!!

  36. Are all the lessons designed to utilize those hard cover “cabinet photo” albums, or do you show how to adapt other types???

  40. You’ve just brought a sparkle of LA sunshine to a gloomy northern English morning. Look forward to joining the class for the summer!

  43. so excited!!! 🙂 i am so there. i’m already scoping out ebay for an old victorian album. and i’m excited to be surrounded by paper and scraps and paint and fabric. i know you have a lot of crafty artsy goodness waiting for us. love it! it’s just the push i need to get into the studio and have fun with all my art stuff.

  44. Oh my gosh, I CANNOT WAIT! I am looking forward to this like you wouldn’t even believe. Hooray!!!
