CraftyClubhouse- Artist Trading Cards Aug12

Craftin up some new Artist Trading Cards @ Tugboat's North Sea House. Leo painted a new van gogh mural out back, Starry Night, the chair, and soon to have the cafe at night segment.pics soon.

Me with my new 'Loaf of Bread' earrings by Ritajayne Rivera made with recycled paper beads from LifeInAfrica.("to help end hunger one pair of earrings at a time. The Loaf of bread charm is significant as it speaks to our hearts and helps to remind us how blessed we truly are. The loaf of bread is also a symbol to raise the level of awareness of the pain and emptiness of hunger. 20% of all sales go to programs across the US directly involved in supplying food for children and their families in need. These programs include food banks, food pantries and local organizations that help people who are struggling to survive on a daily basis") These were a gift from Anne Marie at the PT gathering, now I've been inspired to buy 2 more, one to keep one to give. Love the overlap of causes using the paper beads from Uganda for this series.www.loafofbreadjewelry.com

My recent Artist Trading card seems to show I've got textiles and rags on the brain, Tugboat's 'tugboat' collage is awesome, lil magic ATC makers like elves:)(miss kimberli, moomeg and carina)

Meteor Showers Tonight!

Find a dark place, look up!:)

"As the night unfolds, Perseus climbs higher and the meteor rate will increase many-fold. "By 2 am on Monday morning, August 13th, dozens of Perseids may be flitting across the sky every hour." The crescendo comes before dawn when rates could exceed a meteor a minute.

For maximum effect, Cooke advises, "get away from city lights." The brightest Perseids can be seen from cities, he allows, but the greater flurry of faint, delicate meteors is visible only from the countryside. Scouts, this is a good time to go camping." read more here:http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/11jul_greatperseids.htm
