Thanks once again to Little Seed for inviting us!

Also, Sora recently released a new line of clay charms!

They were released the opening night of her Senior Exhibition: It's A Trap. These are only a few of the many different designs. The rest can be found on our Facebook fan page... HERE!

GPC's 1st Anniversary!

Green Peas Creations' 1st Anniversary was just last month! Luckily it was during our spring break so we ended up celebrating at the Happiest Place on Earth, DISNEYLAND!
Can't believe it's already been a year!

Lastly, as Sora mentioned in the last post, she has begun holding clay classes! More details in the previous post!

I will be making a personal update post on my blog: love=music=life sometime this week...

So stay on the lookout!

Thanks for reading! Have a blessed day!

Clay Classes!!!

Phew!!! It's been a while!!! Sorry XP But I have big news!!! I have started a clay class were I am teaching kindergarden and up how to create clay animals! One lesson is one hour+ and allows the painting of the previous animal and the creation of a new one. ($10 per student for about 1 1/2 hours!)

I started with one student who had met me at the Galleria Sale! And she happens to go to my church! The next week, she had some of her friends come along and so I taught 5 children.

I'm so excited!!! My Fridays are going to be lots of fun!!!

Fabric Kimono Bookmarks

These are bookmarks of Japanese women in Kimonos. Each has a unique hair style and most have a different combination of what fabric is which part of their clothes.

Mediums: fabric, popsicle sticks, circle mirrors, glue, black felt

Self Portrait

This painting is a self portrait. I have painted my family as they are in the Chinese animal Zodiac in our backyard. There is very fine detailing and texture on the grass while the figures are done with a blotting style but still less paint. Each figure also wears something that shows who that person is, in one simple motion. The wooden frame was painted with three different types of brown to cause an invisible space between the painting and the viewer.

Medium: oil on gesoed canvas
Size: 18 inches by 22 inches

Flowers

I love impressionistic style of painting and have painted flowers with a base with paynes grey.

Medium: Oil on watercolor paper
Size: 9 inches by 12 inches

Koreatown Galleria Floorsale

photo credit: Little Seed

Sorry for the late update! The Koreatown Galleria Floorsale was a SUCCESS! Our friend Sarah, from Little Seed, invited us to join her at the floorsale. It was a great experience! Since it was our first sale experience, I think we learned a lot on how we could improve next time :) It was so much fun! I don't really know what else to say! We were invited to come back in December for the next floorsale so until then, we gotta stock up on merchandise and new ideas!

Hopefully more pictures to come later...

Stepped on

This is another painting from my II class, but it has an interesting story :P... this is a 14in by 11in canvas, and during one class, we needed 6 of them. We were instructed and timed on each painting. Each canvas would need to be completely painted in 2 to 4 minutes. These would be done with 20-30 second intervals, so I would quickly place my completed paintings on the floor next to me.

Then the professor walks by me and I move to get out of her way and mistakenly stepped on this painting. Everyone "freaks out", but everything is settled after I look at it and absolutely love it!

We are then asked to pick one of the 6 completed fast paintings and think of it as not completed, then 'complete' it. I could not be able to paint this is two minutes, but because of the extra three days allowed for it's completion, here is my "Stepped on"

Key points:
~the footstep is covered by "dotting" the brush with different number (size) brushes
~the generic landscape background is only there to set up the reason why the footstep, side hand print, and fingerprints are there

Sleeping Wolf Mother and pup

This is a painting assignment from my painting I class as my final work of the term.
-key pieces:
~texture of the ground and plants are physically closer than that of the animals
~colors of the dark background versus the lighter animal colors
~use of different brush techniques as experiments from a basic painting class

Painting of Combination

This piece was created for an assignment in my painting II class, from a random draw of sketches of two abstract forms
-the key pieces are:
~the different planes that each object is in
~how each object leans at a different angle
~the movement of the ribbons and background brush strokes

Green peas for Green Peas!!! hahahaha

I was going to a potluck dinner where my friends were all bringing some type of meat, so I thought it would be a good idea to bring vegetables... hahahah... very sugary vegetables XP

CUPCAKES! (by Sora & Chloe)

Sora came over to my place last Friday to help me bake & decorate cupcakes for the graduating elementary class at our church. They were to have a pool party the following day so I took it to the party. UNFORTUNATELY, by the time the cupcakes got to the students, most of the frosting had melted so they didn't look as pretty as they did on Friday :(

I took these photos on Saturday morning, when the frosting was already starting to melt (it's most evident on the faces) either way the kids REALLY enjoyed the cupcakes... so yay for us and the graduating class!
