New EVENT on my art calender:For those of you in the area....
Annual Granville Island Ferries ...
Garbage Can Art
Contest and Auction
Sunday, September 23, 2007
* The contest takes place in the open-air courtyard behind Granville Island Public Market, Vancouver, BC

This event really pushes creativity to incredible limits: from aluminum can to art extraordinaire! The annual Granville Island Ferries Garbage Can Art Contest and Auction gives 25 artists four hours to use a little... or a lot... of artistic license. Each artist makes over a galvanized garbage can into a work of art. Once transformed, the cans are auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting art therapy programs at BC Children's Hospital.
In conjunction with my posting from Sept 9th....

FYI: Tomorrow I will be taking a soldering lesson from my good friend Poppy, so that I may try my hand at making glass pendants of my girls. This is a project Poppy has suggested to me for over a year now. Thanks Poppy (aka Groovy Glass Girl)
Have a great weekend!
Keep smiling and creating!
