july projects

well look who got around to posting projects this time.
here are a few of our projects from july's art nite ("real" & "fragrance").
fun stuff. Thanks everyone for coming out for the christening of my new firepit...it was a very proud mama moment for me.
great to see everyone...and its so nice to finally have my hearing back (i think) close encounters of the firework kind.
hope everyone is enjoying the SUN-SHINE!

REAL
by Ivy Cox

Real.
What is real? ... Is is what we can see?
"Did you see that?" ... "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! It just disapeared into thin air!" ... "How could that be?" ..."That just can't be real!"

What is real? ... Is it what we can hear?
"Did you hear what he said?" ... "There's no way, dude!" ... "That didn't sound like him at all!" ... "That's not what I heard." ... "I don't believe it." ... "It couldn't have been real."

What is real? ... Is it what we can smell?
"Do you smell that?" ... "I don't smell anything." ... "It smells like cat pee." ... "My house doesn't smell like cat pee! It must be in your head. I don't smell it at all!" ... "I'm sorry, but that stink is real! Real bad."

What is real? ... Is it what we can taste?
"You've got to taste this! Close your eyes, and tell me what you think." ... "Umm, I can't taste anything, I've got a cold!" ... "This crab meat, it's sooo awesome!" ... "Hey, did you read this can? It's the fake stuff. It's not even real crab meat!" ... "But it tasted so real!?"

What is real? ... Is it what we can touch?
"Feel this coat." ... "Oh my, is soooo soft! Is is rabit?" ... "Nope." ... "Mink?" ... "Nope." ... "Well it must be real fur, it's so perfect feeling! What it is? ... "It's all synthetic. Fake". ... "Wow, I could have sworn it was real!"

What is real? ... Is it what we feel?
"This is it. This is real. I'm in love!" ... "Oh yeah? Do you guys have lots to talk about?" ... "Well we don't talk too much, but when he looks and me and smiles, I get all tingley inside!" ... "Do you guys do lots of things together you enjoy?" ... "Yeah, lately, we've been at his house all day makin' lots of love!" ... "Hmm. Well do you have anything in common?" ... "Well, I dunno, but this feeling has got to be real love. It's incredible!" ... "Um, I hate to say this, but that is just the feeling of lust, lieing to you. What your feeling,,, isn't real."

So, what is real? As our senses diseive us what can be know to be real? Is it simply personal opinion? Does every person have and create their own reality? Our thoughts, our feelings... are they real? What is our soul, our concience? Are they real? How do we know? ... What's your REAL?

our coulda-beens

for the sake of fun...here are the topics that didn't get picked. I just thought it would be cool to share the variety.

aww, look at em

meet our monsters.
Thanks everyone for sticking around to make these cute little guys, it was so much fun to create something at art nite! this could easily become the dawning of a new art nite trend. it was neat to see everyone really put their heads down, tongues out and guerilla create...and the outcome was beyond worth it!
Note from Donna regarding the monster drop:
Just an FYI I dropped off all of the beauties at Lancaster General and the volunteers there LOVED them! On the ones I made I also put a little plug for my free painting videos on the website. Then I asked about other art related volunteer opportunities at the hospital and Dawn said I would be perfect for this traveling art cart they are starting next month. The patients who have an extended stay ahead of them get to decorate their rooms with stuff off of the traveling art cart. I told her I was really interested so we will see...Thanks for all of your help. I think the dolls are really going to make a difference to some special kids. Give yourself a pat on the back you are all wonderful, beautiful people :) I'll probably be making another batch within the next two months if you want to participate more.~Donna

bellicima, dreams & whats your poison

Okay, here are the topics for june, and yet again….one of the topics has gone missing. I’ve searched high and low…no sign.
I can assure you I’m really not the biggest flake this side of the Susquehanna river. Anyways aside from our 3 (yes three) topics we have a new venture for June art nite.

June 5
7pm

112-114 E. Walnut St. Apt.41

Lancaster PA 17602
(link to exact locale) see I’m helpful.

Parking is in abundance. There is usually plenty on the street either Duke or Walnut (Historic Hamilton Suites is my building and its on that corner) Plus there is the Duke St. garage not too far from the pad.
Please bring: project, food and/or drink if you wish

"the plan"…if you wish to participate; we have a little project to do this time (besides presenting our pieces and having fun as usual), see the sample below. Donna once again has come up with this ingenious idea to make these lil monster’s, and donate them to the under the weather kids at Lancaster General, (who are all ready very excited).
We will also include a small card with the monster's "story" something like "Hello I'm a monster and I am going to help fight off your sickness. Please give me a very special name. Don't mind me if I drool on your pillow from time to time or eat your cookies".... you get the idea.
If we could all help to make monsters on art nite we will have more to go around, which is obviously a great thing. Donna has plenty of supplies, and I’m sure we could all help out with bringing any extra needed tools and scraps we have laying around. And don’t fret if you don’t know how to sew, it would be the perfect opportunity to learn, or you could always help with a different step of the process.
Donna has arranged a time of Monday June 8 at 4pm to make the drop at the hospital.
We have some more incredibly hip ideas that stemmed from this, that we will go over at art nite. I hope you can all make it, to help out!! I’m so excited about it!

Just an couple fyi’s…art nite will still be normal; we just have an extra added beni (benefit) this time. also keep in mind Lancaster First Friday will be taking place, if you wish to attend that as well.

FUN!

MAY!

Summer is here again, and not sure if you have noticed, but my managing the blog has taken a pitiful turn. Its okay though. Why in your right mind would you want to be looking at your computer when there is summer fun to be had.
So I’m just going to keep justifying my slacker sensibilities with nice weather.
Anyways, I'd like to give everyone one big fat high five that joined us for may art nite.
we had such a nice turn out, it was so nice to have a full house of laughter. thanks everyone for venturing out. A couple first timers and some faces we haven’t seen in ages…thanks so much for coming and keep on coming back!!! I had a blast!

Here are just some of our projects.
Our topics were: Strange and Pimp My Ride
Haha, I can’t find the photos. OH NO! I’ll have to track down the folder, I know I put it somewhere.
Sorry. Standby.
