One of our Studio Calico customers works for a non-profit organization called
VSA . VSA arts of Kentucky provides arts education and inclusion programs for children and adults with disabilities throughout the state and offers an under-served population equal opportunity to explore the arts in a way that is fully accessible. Their office is located directly beneath Studio Calico and the employees there are such nice, genuine people. A while back, they sent us some information about an art show to benefit their organization. So, I stepped outside my comfort zone and completed a 12x12" canvas.
As you can see, the theme is Love Around the World. In my canvas, I wrote "love" in different languages, then added glossy accents to the top. I used a bunch of leftovers from the
Studio Calico VIA AIRMAIL kit plus the Patterna stamp set by
Fontwerks. I really like how it turned out, but I'm really nervous about it being displayed. It will be shown at the Bowling Green International Festival which always draws a big crowd. I know I've been pubbed before, but I never see anyone look or talk about my work. This is a bit different.....
Hope this inspires you to be creative especially when it's for a good cause.

you shouldn't be nervous at all, the art is fantastic! I really love it :)
I love your piece April. For years I worked at a school for developmentally disabled adults. We did the Very Special Arts Festival every year, I do believe it still is an annual event. My question for you is do they do art groups for the people they serve? If so do they collect materials? I certainly would love to reach out a hand with some art materials if that is the case.
So very cool that you shared your art for a good cause. I think it's really wonderful!
April, this piece is gorgeous! I won't be surprised if you are asked how much it is to purchase!
