2010.06.06 Blossom Sunday & Blossom Girls Challenge!

久しぶり（過ぎる！）ブログ更新です。大変ご無沙汰しておりました。私は相変わらず元気に！地道に？！スタンプを楽しんでおります：）
Hello everyone!! Long time no see (again?!) but I'm enjoy stamping same as usual:)
＊
I went to "Blossom Sunday" event @RBR gallery recently!
It was absolutely fabulous!
今月の第１週の日曜日6/6、麻布十番にありますRBRさんにて昨年に引き続き開催されたお花いっぱいの素敵なイベント「Blossom Sunday」に私も伺ってきました!今回は残念ながら都合によりスプスプさんとJoeiさんのスペシャルWSに参加出来なかったのですが、娘＠７歳とお友達のmikiちゃんと一緒に可愛いyuiさんの缶バッヂMake'n Takeやミーシャさんのリボンで作るお花のMake'n Take,そしてSticker Lovers／NaoさんのカードのMake'n Takeを思う存分楽しんできました♪（いつもみんなをあっ！と驚かせてくれるマリーさんのWSはあっという間にSold Outでした（涙）！残念無念！）
Art感いっぱいでとにかくその空間にいるだけで幸せいっぱいな気分になるRBR Gallery、最高です！久しぶりにアノ素敵な空間で楽しいひとときを過ごせて大満足でした：）

今回はそれだけでなく、Blossom Sundayと連動して開催された「Blossom Girls Challenge(B-I-A Project)」 に私も初めて参加することができ、その展示（＆投票）もお楽しみのひとつでした。4x4インチの作品を３１枚作成！ということで完成するまでは精神的にも体力的にも大変でしたがこの展示風景と近々手元に戻ってくる分厚くなった自分のBind It Allで製本された作品を目にした時は嬉しくなりました☆鳥かごのワイヤーに飾られた作品はどれもこれも素敵でいつまで見ていても飽きませんでしたよ！ちなみにこのchallengeのwinnerはMIYUKIさん（はじめまして！）という方で、その温かいピンクの素敵な作品に私もひとめぼれし、投票させていただきました：）MIYUKIさんおめでとうございます♪

そしてこちらが私の作った4x4インチの作品と表紙＆裏表紙です。
PrimaとWebster's Pagesの製品を使った「blossom」な作品というのがテーマでした。
Here are my works for "Blossom Girls Challenge"!

ワイルドフラワーが咲き乱れる草原に住むお花の妖精をイメージして作りました。
Stamps:French Laundry No.11 (Character Constrcutions)/Wildflowers vol.2(Darkroom Door)/Correspondence(Darkroom Door)

布製の花は手作りです。不器用な私にとって３１個のお花を作ったところが一番大変でした！歪な物も多々あったはず。。。ゴメンナサイ！でも心を込めて縫いました（言い訳？！）☆
I made this dark orange flowers by myself:)

I made 31 cards for this challenge!

表紙です。作品提出日の前日がホビーショーでそこで購入したアクセサリーパーツやペーパーを使いました（汗）！
細く編んだひもは刺繍糸で三つ編みして作りました☆

Webster's Pagesのペーパーの柄とスタンプの紳士がなかなか良くマッチしてるのでは？！とひっそりと自己満足でした（笑）。
