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!

The Happiest Place on the Earth / 地球で一番幸せな場所

The Disney Gallery / "The Colors of Mary Blair"

"It's a small world!"

I recently went to the most happiest place on the earth(I've heard the expression before somewhere.) They are having a special exhibition for one of disney's artists, Mary Blair. Her famous work is not only Alice in wonderland and It's a small world attraction at the disneyland.
Her work makes me really happy. Lots of colors and cute imaginative buildings and characters in her pictures are amazing.

最近地球で最も幸せな場所と言われる所へ行ってきました。今行くと、ディズニーギャラリーにてMary Blairさんというディズニーのアーティストの方の作品の展示会が見られます。Maryさんの代表作の中には、不思議の国のアリスや、イッツアスモールワールドがあります。彼女の作品を見るととってもハッピーな気持ちになります。カラフルでかわいらしい創造的な建物やキャラクターは本当に素晴らしいです。
