Happy Friday and Hooray Arts & Crafts!

Hope you had a good Friday. Here are eco-friendly greeting cards I found at the Patchwork show last Sunday. These cards are from "Merry Blues Art" and the artist is from Long Beach, CA. I like the fine and soft line drawings with the fun use of colors. This time I had a chance to talk to the creator of the cards, Ana, about the concept of her work and the use of eco-friendly materials and painting methods and process she takes to create her work. She Also taught me that there is a place called Long Beach Depot for Creative ReUse in Long Beach,CA where you can donate unused materials where people come and pick materials for their next art projects. Cool concept! I will visit the place one of these days for sure. Thank you Ann for artist's helpful tips : ) One of the great thing about going to these local craft show is that you get to meet the artists and the creators of the products and talk to them in person. If you missed the show this time, there will be another Patchwork show in Santa Ana on Sunday, Nov 27th!
