Happy New Year

As we get ready for the year's art projects,

we say goodbye to our manager, 

Julia and send her off with a collage by Phyllis Grima from Denroma.

  

Phyllis has just begun to use collage

on canvas and her flowers are colorful and fun.

 

We hope to develop more card making in 2012 and offer them to the public.

Since most boardng houses charge up to 95% of their pension for living and care, it leaves many boaarding house residents with little or no money to feel autonomous with.

Just $10 extra a week gives someone a trip to a cafe, library, and some experience outside of boarding house life.

Roomies has a new blog helper

Roomies Art space just got itself a blog helper - Me!

I really look more like this:

 I've been a guerilla knitter for a few years now, 

and on a large project, Clarrice came and helped. 

But Clarrice things putting good knitting on a pole

is a waste of wool, so we dont do that so much now.

I help out at Roomies Art Space and spend time with Clarrice one on one. We do art trips, work on her soft toys or window wire tapestries or have manicures.

Her window wire tapestries are very popular and she has sold many.

I hope to one day set up an online shop

for her work and the work of other artists at Roomies. 

Thanks for coming by 

and I hope you stick around.
