Swedish Sculptor Per Agelii has invited 10 artists to decorate concrete Easter eggs to be installed in the gardens of Tjoloholms Castle in Sweden. I read about this on artist and illustrator Camilla Engman's blog. Then I went over to Per Agelii's blog and found more photos. You can see a list of participating artists at either place. It's a beautiful garden, and a great breath of fresh Spring air and fun...which I'm really in need of at the moment!

Art For Japan

Fiber artist Sophie Truong (see her blog here) has organized Art For Japan, a one evening art show and sale to benefit various relief efforts in Japan. The show is Friday, May 6th at Gallery 535, 535 Albany Street, Boston. Fifty artists have donated work in a variety of media. You can go to this Facebook page to see who is participating (more work will be posted continuously so keep checking back). Sophie has done a fabulous job of developing and organizing this benefit. If there is any way you can attend the show it would be wonderful. The above two works are my contribution to the show. They were inspired by Japanese Boro.
