Mighty Girl Art at NoVA Maker Faire: Tree of Compassion

Mighty Girl Art  returned to Maker Faire again!  The team engaged our guests in creating whimsical paper leaves for a site specific installation entitled The Tree of Compassion.  Each leaf was hand crafted, painted by our visitor.  Upon these leaves they wrote a few words of compassion before hanging it upon the tree.





 

Mighty Girl Art™ at Maker Faire 2016

Picasso said that art washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life. Yesterday we blew through at least 400 - 500 pieces of paper and most people only made one print. That's a lot of dust free souls! Last night I cleaned all the brayers and stencils before I hit my fatigue-wall and left the printmaking trays soaking in my bathtub overnight. Today I will finish the arduous task of post faire clean-up in the art studio aka "Makery". I would like to thank Chelsea and the Mighty Girls for all their hard work. I would like to thank Gelli Arts - Gel Printing Plate for creating such a terrific printing plate and for sponsoring our giveaway. I would also like to thank all the organizers and volunteers of NoVa Mini Maker Faire for creating such a wondrous event!

* Stencils used in this project were purchased from Crafter's Workshop!

"Let the beauty that you love be what you do" - Rumi

Mighty Girl Art™ is pleased to announce that our proposal was accepted and we will be presenting a Monoprinting make & take at the 2016 NoVA Mini Maker Faire in March!!!  Stay tuned for more information. 

Maker Faire is an event organized by the well know DIY magazine "Make Magazine". Maker Faire has been dubbed the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.

* Also this is an open call for 4 Mighty Girl Volunteers.  Mighty Makers will learn the behind the scenes workings of creative presentation from set-up to clean-up: presenting themselves as makers and teaching their craft to community, organization, teamwork, and networking with their kindred makers. If your daughter is interested in this exciting and fun opportunity please message me asap.
