Holy, Hopping Hamster  That looks like a dream of a day

Ohhh, I wished I had been there  But your pictures make me very, very happy

The models you made are absolutely marvellous !!! What a great teacher and talented apprentices

I hope to see all the models when they are finished

Susanne we thought about you!

By the way, I didn't write it yet here but I got a lot of chocolate from everyone, I think I got reserve of chocolate for few months. But I will probably eat it within a week I got also a lot of kangaroos, two lovely bird models, a very special cone and a wonderful plant and the super beautiful card. I think I will post photos of all these nice things here too. Forum friends are all so sweet

Anna, it is the most amasing idea I ever witnessed in this forum. I cannot express in words how happy I am watching these pictures. It is praiseworthy all the effort you all printed in this initiative to turn it possible.
Many thanks to you all, Florian, Julie, Karin, Christophe and Anna for this unforgetable moment and for sharing your fantastic experience with all of us!
I am flabbergasted, all in all, you are from 4 different countries and it is an International meeting of an artistic expression workshop. Local administration should feel proud of it.
I love also what is already done with these figures and I hope it is the start of a big adventure to all of you. I see talent and we on forum want to follow all your development.

Local administration had no idea about the workshop Thank you so much for these words Roger! I hope it's only a beginning

Yahhhh  Great great great !
These photos make all of us very happy and we have also a small chance to feel the great expirience of all 5 of you
Anna, your idea was just so great and the result, that we can see from the photos - just amazing.
The models look very promising, with very good start and the best think is , that we see the talent of Kiki, Julie, Karin and Florian :)
Anna you did a great job and guys, you have to finish these models - mandatory !

These photos made my day !

Thanks so much Kosta! I thought about you actually during the workshop, I though something like "Kosta can teach dancing so perhaps I can teach sculpting" You see how this forum gives us all inspirations and new ideas

We did it  Thank you so much Anna for this fabulous idea, and thank you also for your warm and sincere welcome

Thank you also to your family who accepted to have so many strange people at home  

I want to tell every member here: Ana exist in real life, I encountered her

This was a great day, very warm but very serious too and it was incredible to meet Ana, Tarunyada, NightLioness and Florian. We talked, in Dutch, French and even in English  But we also stayed very silent because making models is a hard job... Especially when you are a cat, a rhino, a manatee or a macaque!

I am very happy to have meet you all and I wish it is not the last time.

This day lead me to think there is a kind of magic in STS and I wish it will spread everywhere.

If there is still a place for me, I will be come again in april

Christophe! Thank you for coming, it was amazing to have  this meeting in reality
And you have chosen really unusual species, I hope so much that you will continue sculpting it.

Hehe, my husband and son were also very happy that this workshop came true. I know they didn't talk a lot but they were happy, really. We talked about this workshop later too and we agreed it was great idea. My son isn't used to see that many people at home here indeed (in Poland however we sometimes had have bigger home meetings too) but you have seen how he reacted? He chose to sit next to you and I think he loved to hear French language during the dinner I think it was good experience for him too

And yes, I think STS is magical place indeed

Hello everyone! Back from a great weekend and very happy to see the photos and replies is in this topic It was a great day and I learned SO MUCH from Anna My bold idea of making my first ever sculpted animal a Gaur calf was not a bad idea after all and I am so proud that I could get help from Anna

It was also a great to see all the faces behind the posts and walkarounds on this topic I have made new friends that day and I know for sure I will see a least two of them more (Hope in this or next month! )

Thank you so much Anna, I will work further on my Gaur calf and I will let you know how it progresses

Hi Karin! It was so great to see you again and I really think the gaur calf goes very well. I hope you will continue

And yes, perhaps we meet in Friesland yet during this winter.

THANK YOU for coming! And send greetings to Martijn too I have a photo of him in the mask, but not sure if I can share it here? It's funny I think

Now I want to know who's who in the photos

Thank you LeeAnn. I have some help for you The photo is blurry, mainly because it was quite dark already.

You can share the photo
Your husband did an amazing job on the mask, I think many STS members want to see it

I need to wake up fast, because I'm not seeing myself right XD
Sorry Julie
Thanks Anna XD

Thanks ladies! Nice to see you

Oh, it looks like you had such a wonderful time!
And the sculptures are looking very good so far! Anna must be a very good teacher
or all the participants are just very talented... Well I guess both can be true

It's very nice to see the pictures and hear the stories. And also see faces that accomapy the profile pictures.
Maybe I can be there next time too, if I don't plan my weekends too full (again)

Wow !!, that great group of friends and future sculptors. I like to see you all together and I wish I could be there. Congratulations !

Hmmm, I thought I was the only one mixing Julie with Karin but it seems it is viral and even Karin does it. It is really great to see you again although it wasn't hard for me to guess who you are.

I have to leave this topic, - It is so wonderful that I get cramps in my smiling-muscles

One thing I forget to tell here is a few words about Anna's collection. It is a great place to visit, shelves are looking like select club full of Vip models. Our friend have fantastic and artistic taste and the models are wonderfully mixed together.

Indeed! I kept looking at all the handmade models, from Anna herself and from other sculptors. Many great Kaiyodo figures, oh the birds where just fantastic!

We ate the salad for the lunch and we had a sight on her collection, better than a sight on the sea :)

Agree

Thank you so much friends, your comments make me very happy! And I'm happy every time I think about that Saturday workshop, it was so nice
And here, kangaroos, kangaroo cone, birds and plants that remind me about it, THANK YOU!! (chocolate WAS very delicious too, haha )


@Kosta, hehe, dancing/sculpting workshop, that's funny idea, that's very modern fusion kind of thinking, remind me of "action painting", hahah

Wonderful picture of a mob of kangaroos to perpetuate a memorable day.

So sorry for the very late reply, I've been so busy with school, attending an international congress for archaeologists etc etc, ooh I need a holiday

But I just wanted to thank you all again for the wonderful day, the fun we had but also very serious business Thanks Anna, Karin, Christophe and Florian, I had a wonderful day, I really hope we can do this again, one day!

Hi, Friends!
Because of very busy time now, I will not be able to do the sculpting workshop planned for this Spring.
I still want to do one workshop this year but it will not be sooner than September.
I will keep you updated in this topic or start the new topic when I know some more details
If you have any suggestions or ideas for September, please let me know.
