Art Show!

The art show was a success! It was my first time discovering how intensely tiring setting up and getting ready for an event, especially an art booth, could be. As you know, proceeds went to Chab Dai (www.chabdai.org) which aims to fight human trafficking. The organization was started in Cambodia in 2005. It was interesting to talk to and inform people about the tragedy that exists in the US and outside our country.

Wreckage Fashion Show filmed by my friend Aaron Sjogren-talented young man attending Art Center.

Clothes I designed and created.

My friends! My friend on the left, Isabel, was a model in the fashion show.

On another note, I found this cute Domo cup in my brother’s car, apparently, after playing with the cup, the lid flew open and revealed all this moldy green residue. For which I yelled, AHHHH. But it was still cute.

Wreckage Fashion/ART show TOMORROW

Come out to support me! I’ve created all kinds of goodies- unique one of kind garments, greeting cards with my artwork, framed art, necklaces, accessories, purses, you name it- I got it! All proceeds are donated towards Chab Dai, a non-profit fighting human trafficking. (chabdai.org)

Hope to see you there! Questions email me at rebekkalien@gmail.com

Contests Should Be Global- I Should Write the Fine Print.

This is so ridiculously cute.

“2009 facetnate! winners: Pip & Pop’s sickly sweet super kawaii installation of sugar, pigment, origami, plastic toys, beads, confectionary and drinking straws, Under the Crystal Sky.

The Sydney Japan Foundation is now accepting proposals for facetnate! 2010. Australia-based emerging artists and curators can submit proposals for projects that would have a strong Japanese influence, to be put on as a solo or group exhibition in the second half of the year with a grant of $3000.” – http://biginjapan.com.au/2010/02/facetnate/

I WAS GETTING SO RIDICULOUSLY excited about this, but read that it’s only for Australia-based artists. How sad. -_-

I finally finished printing all the tags I need to glue the “benefiting non- profit” tag unto my handmade goods. Here is just two of my bags. I also made these cute pink, green, and purple pillows. They are beyond rad.

The inside of the red and black tweed bag has pleather- like fabric on the other side. Both are made of “scraps” and treasure finds. To be sold at Art Show March 12- See flier below (that’s not me):

The “various artists” includes me.

The sun has risen. I walked on stones and pebbles. The bulldog runs.

I am alone. I am content. I smile and breathe. The air is clear.

The greens are alive. The wind swivels and blows. My hair is messy.

I stoop over the drops of dew. Clinging onto the leaves of life.

I am alive. They all say hi. I’ve yet to see. The dreams to rise.

Good night!
