Hellllooooo! It’s me again! I hope your week is off to a good start …. and don’t forget to vote today (if you are in the US of A) every single vote counts.
Ok so Jennifer Dove where to I start … A few years ago I saw these amazing boots on Instagram and my mind was blown because I thought they were a photo but, they were colored with Copic markers. These are the boots that you color at the end of the class when you are ready. These are the ones that I colored and I am pretty proud of them. With that said I want to color them again hopefully soon!
Sooo back to the boots … when I first saw them I was ok so … who … what … when …. where? So I found out that Jennifer Dove was the master mind of the boots and she teaches her Copic Boot Camp!!
When I finally checked out the details I discovered that class was over and then I forgot all about it.
In this photo we penciled in the highlights and colored around them and then softened the highlights.
Jennifer Dove is an amazing artist and as you can see in the photos she’s a pretty fun gal lol. Jennifer is the developer and the master mind behind Copic Boot Camp and has been fine tuning the ‘Copic Boot Camp” for years. The four day class is pretty dang awesome and perfect in my book! If you want to check out Jennifer’s blog click here. I would encourage you to subscribe to her videos here. If Facebook is your thing here is Jennifer’s and it just might be the best place to be when she releases her next registration for Copic Boot Camp 2019. Here is the official Copic Boot Camp blog.
Copic Boot Camp is 4 full days and at first when you see the price you might hesitate but, I tell you when you break it down worth every single penny. Jennifer is so patient and kind and when she’s not giving something away she’s teaching all …. day … long! The last day class was to end at 6 and we wanted her to hold our hand while we finished the boots so I think we left about 8? To me that says it all in a nut shell … she gives her all and then some!! Her husband called to see when she was coming home and she pushed on cause she’s that amazing!
Basically we got Jennifer for about 40 hours! Jennifer has a team that helps make all this happen and every single one of them were awesome, kind, enthusiastic, warm and engaging! From left to right … Jennifer Dove, Ellie (Jennifer’s mom) , Becky, Patti and Nicolette. Read about the team here. Nicolette is her right hand gal and she’s pretty spectacular in her own right.
In this photo with the Copic Boot Camp team is some of the amazing women who met each other on line during the 30 day coloring challenges ! (from left to right Sandy, Karen, Me, Fatima, and from the left Sandy, Kari and Jo Ann. The Boot Camp crew from right to left Jennifer, Nicolette, Becky and in front Jennifer’s mom Ellie and Patti.
I am super excited to implement and share some of Jennifer’s new techniques but, most importantly I am feeling confident to take the next step with my coloring.
Have a great day and I will be back tomorrow. I am always grateful for your visit … always. Hugs, Kathy

Did you see the new stamps from Penny Black?
Wow wow wow!!! Gorgeous coloring and thanks for the info on the boot camp. Looks like a great learning and fun experience. ❤️
Thank you, Angela! I highly recommend this Boot Camp 🙂
Thanks for the info on the boot camp. Maybe if she has another one I can attend it. I need classes on Copics to be sure. I remember those boots on Instagram a few years ago also and was blown away. I sure didn’t see any advertising for this year’s class or I might have gone. Your boots are perfect!
That is so kind, Dot! I hope you make it next year or soon after 🙂
Wow oh wow those boots are amazing! It seems like loads of fun!
Xoxo Olga
You are so sweet, Olga! It was so much fun; I can’t wait to share more of the fun with you 🙂
Kathy thank you for sharing from Boot camp. This is a bucket list dream event for me to go to some day. Love seeing how realistic everything that has been colored from bootcamp.
Thank you so much, Roberta! Boot Camp is definitely bucket-list worthy 🙂
I second that the Boot Camp is worth it! You will be looking at the world in shades afterwards…and colorblends…lol
So much information packed in! I’m so glad you had a chance to go too 🙂
Wow, those boots look amazing. What a wonderful testimonial for this class/workshop. What a loving tribute to Jennifer Dove and her team. I appreciate you sharing your feelings about the boot camp. And am looking forward to hearing about the techniques you learned. Thanks so much, Kathy. You rock!
I appreciate your kind words, Jeanne! I am anxious to share all of the ideas and tips I picked up with you 🙂
Wow! amazing coloring!!
Your kindness makes me smile, Tara! Thank you 🙂
WOW! AMAZING!
I echo Kathy’s comments about Jennifer Dove and Boot Camp. I enjoyed every minute and learned so much. Kathy, one of the highlights of Boot Camp for me was the opportunity to meet you and see some of your amazing work in person! I’ve always admired your talent and the beautiful cards in your blog, and your work is even more beautiful in person! My fingers are crossed that you’ll be able to return to Phoenix for another Road Trip sometime on 2019!
Your boots look amazing! This sounds like a wonderful class. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
What a lovely compliment, Terrie! Thank you so much 🙂
Fantastic coloring!! It looks like a photo!!
You are so thoughtful, Maureen! Thank YOU 🙂
Those boots are amazing! I did a 3 day copic coloring weekend with Jennifer, about 5-6 years ago, looks like I may need to do it again! She’s a great teacher.
I am grateful for your sweet compliment, Sheri! I hope you get to do Boot Camp again; I find refresher courses rejuvenating 🙂
Wow Kathy that looks and from what I read, like an awesome boot camp.
When I saw the boots in the mail I never thought it was coloured with Copics, I also thought it was a photo. I see you can colour your one boots now, so I know for sure you certainly reached a next level of colouring.
Now I am curious how you can stretch this out ( if you know what I mean, I am Dutch) to other colour mediums. Thanks and see/hear you tomorrow.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Henriette! I hope in the days to come I can share what I learned and that you will be inspired 🙂
Sounds like such a wonderful experience. And your coloring – awesome!
Thank you so, much! It was fabulous and fun 🙂
What a great looking group. Such fun that they met on the 30 day challenge. See Kathy you are an essential piece to this wonderful crafting family. Love those boots, by the way.
WOW, Kathy!!! Looks like this class IS WELL WORTH IT! GORGEOUS WORK!!! It DOES look like a photo! SUPER JOB !!!! 😉
WOW, what awesome colouring on the boots. Good job!
A fun looking group of gals. Subscribed to Jennifer’s blog and YT channel, looking forward to seeing her in action too!
WOWZERS!!! Those boots look like a photo! So realistic. Thanks for the inspiration! I have been having fun doing the 30 day coloring challenge. 😀
Oh wow!!! Those boots are amazing! I though it was a photo too!!
Splendid, love the shading! So realistic!
Those boots are amazing and I think it’s a fun finale yo BOOT camp!
wow!
its amazing!
these photos are so nice!

Hi Kathy, those are some seriously shiny boots!!! Loved having you there with us. Thank you so much for the clipboard. I’ll put it to good use. Color on!! Becky
You have to know that I don’t like the kind of boots you colored but I love how they look like shiny patent leather. I get it though, boot camp, patent leather boots.
That boot camp sounds like so much fun! It seems like the first stamping class I took. It was at a stamp store in CT that is no longer in business & the card was the pumpkin coach from Cinderella. It was all shiny & beautiful & I said to this woman “I’m a beginner. There is no way I am going to make that beautiful card”. I learned to emboss that night, something I had never heard of before never mind had ever done, & I made that beautiful card. It was not as hard as it looked & I learned some new things that night & other nights to come. I miss those classes. One of those classes is where I learned to stamp on fabric which I love, love, love, love! I think I would have loved your boot camp too!
I think you already knew tons about Copics! I was so excited to follow you at the Copic Boot Camp, that I signed up as soon as she shared next year’s dates! Thank you for telling us about this.
