recycled vinyl record

by jafabrit

Needed to come up with some art for the Find Free Art Fridays for the 3rd Friday in April. Since I don't have the budget to buy supplies for free art I used some old vinyl records, acrylic paint, paint marker and sequins. To see a slide show of some of the free art we have left please visit our jafagirlart website.

3rd Friday Fling and Free Art

Just for fun Nancy and I spent 2 hours leaving jafagirl art around the Village for the 3rd Friday Fling Event in Yellow Springs. Here are a few examples courtesy of Jafabrit, Nancy and Talitha :)

Found Art : Flower Painting

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.

Ernest Dowson 1867-1900

Regular Posting will resume after the Party

wish YOU a

Happy New Year

If you happen to be in Yellow Springs don't forget to keep your eyes open for one of our found art pieces, such as this lovely little ceramic woman pendant from Talitha the Tongue. Apparently she hung a few of them around the town.

Found Art about women and hunger

" Women are the world's primary food producers, yet cultural traditions and social structures often mean women are much more affected by hunger and poverty than men." World Food Programme (United Nations)

"Seven out of 10 of the world’s hungry are women and girls, according to the UN World Food Program." Unifem

The Hunger Project

Rosa's theme is "woman " so Nancy made a figure out of self hardening clay.
Jafabrit snuck her piece called "what a woman" between two mailboxes.Music inspired by Lone Beader's current blog entry

Found Art

Making a connection with our art is one of the most rewarding parts of being an artist (sales are nice too). So when the theme of a book came up on Rosa Murillo's Found Art Tuesday blog it made sense to Nancy to make something that shared a little part of herself and her family history.

Hope you enjoy
