Please join us for the Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary's Second Saturday Art Show & Reception for "Painting for Paws!" This fundraiser will be held on June 14, from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at Little Real Estate/Union Vacations on the corner of 42nd & H Streets in East Sacramento. On display and for sale will be the paintings that the cats and dogs actually created with non-toxic paint on their little paws. You can come home with your own one-of-a-kind piece of animal art work and perhaps even the animal artist too!

In addition to the cat and dog art work, the event will feature an extensive silent auction area of unique items all donated by local businesses, community members, and fellow artists. Some of the featured "human artists" who generously donated art to this event are:

Puta Love on Swap-bot

A few Crafty Homegirls of mine, who are regulars on swap-bot decided to do a fun "Emergency Puta Kit Swap. For those of you who are not familiar with the term, "Puta", basically it is a Spanish word for "Whore" Yep, you know sometimes WE all have an inner Puta that sometimes likes to step out and have a good time once and a while. SOME of us may need a little coaxing and or a kit to bust out in an emergency situation!

Today, I got this huge package in the mail. Immediately, my nosy son starts to open it. I had a feeling this was my EPK, so I had to grab it and go open it in the privacy of my room.

Needless to say, I was blown away at what was inside the package! So much that I had to share it with all of you. Maybe give you a little inspiration to go put together your own Puta/Ho on the Go kit. Perhaps you have a friend who is in need. Spread the love I say!

Before I get started, I just want to give a shot out to Mary who put together this wonderful package and who has the true Puta Spirit! Thanks girl! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work!

Outside of lid. I love all the slutticious women and the wooden EPK initials!

I also happened to send out my partner her Puta Kit. She is super crafty and super famousa, so I wanted to make something easy to carry for when she is traveling all over spreading her crafty magic. lol, of course she can always share this with her hoosband!

Inspiring Ladies

I think I have mentioned before, but Krissi and I, and now Sacred Momma, have joined a group of insanely talented ladies. They call themselves Mixed Media Artists Of Northern California. They meet monthly at Beverly's Unique Scrapbooking. The fourth Sunday of each month, these ladies from all over Northern California get together to share, create, tutor and fellowship. I always look forward to this meeting and I have not missed one meeting since we joined 4 months ago. This month's meeting was extra special because Corky, a fellow craftista I met on the Crafty Chica cruise, drove in from Santa Clara to take part in the "Exploding Box" tutorial. Along with the tutorial, we shared our monthly "challenge' that happened to have the theme of "Houses". As usual, these ladies hit it out of the ball park with their creativity. I just had to share pictures!

Next month, our challenge is altering a checkerboard and yours truly will be giving a "Paper Bag" book make and take tutorial.

Ok, peecture time.............. All these creations are made by the wonderful Artists in my group. I was just snapping away, and I wish I would have wrote their names down to give them proper credit. I'll be pimping this blog to them, so hopefully they can stop by and take credit!

This is the inside of an altered cook book made by one of the Artists.

These are miniature houses made out of chip board. I believe she is going to attach them to pin backs and make broaches out of them. there were Awesome!

Class waiting to start.

Look how small her houses are! Fantastic!

Corky's tag book. She gave this demo on the Crafty Chica Cruise.

Outside of altered cookbook. Look at the Apple she cut and glued. (genius)

House challenges

Glitter is Good.

For real, and you certainly don't have to take my word for it. Crafty Chica spells it out for Ellen, (silly Ellen)




But I also have back up! Yes, my girls from the Sacramento Craft Mafia are pictured below showing their love and support for Glitter. At our last meeting I hosted a Shrine tutorial with some of the left over Crafty Chica goodness from Craft Con. Not only were we making beautiful arte together, but we were doing it up "Green" style and recycling our materials! It was a win win situation! Just look at how happy my girls are!




















Ellen, can you honestly deny the happiness of all these Chicas? Carry on................

Holy Frida Kahlo! She's a Coming to Town!

Frida Kahlo (It's true) She is on her way to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art!






Saturday, June 14, 2008 - Sunday, September 28, 2008

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo began painting in 1926, while recovering from a near-fatal bus accident, and soon became captivated by the medium's expressive possibilities. She filled her canvases with vibrant colors, powerful compositions, and revealing depictions of intensely personal struggles — the traumatic accident, her ongoing health problems, miscarriages, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, Diego Rivera. Kahlo's blunt style, influenced by Mexican folk art, and her fantastical imagery earned her recognition among the Surrealists, but her intriguing persona and unmistakable originality propelled her beyond the confines of a specific movement to become a leading figure in the history of modern art.




ADVANCE TIMED TICKETS FOR FRIDA KAHLO
In anticipation of the popularity of Frida Kahlo, we will be using a timed ticketing system, with tickets issued for specific dates and times. Timed tickets limit the number of people in the gallery at any given time and minimize lines, resulting in a better viewing experience for all. Please choose your date and time carefully as tickets cannot be refunded. Tickets are subject to availability.
