art + therapy + (some)oddness.: on with the 'sellin' life...

i call this activity a 'deviation' from my 'daily grind of routines':

- wake up at5am

-prepare breakfast meal and lunch bags for the ones that came from my womb

-prepare all my stuff, papers, class record, notes for the morning class

-take a bath and or a shower (taking a bath--includes shampooing and conditioning my no-maintenance long mane, that takes more than 20 minutes; while taking a shower means that i splash water,liquid bodee soap all over my fez, bodeee, sans the long mane and it'll only be 3-5 minutes--meaning doesn't eat much of my time as i soon sprint off to work)

-teach

-read

- papers

-home

-prepare dinner

-rant,wail, nag-- the woes to whoever is at home

-do the dishes, possibly include the hated--already 2 m0s. overdue laundry

-brush teeth

-sew

-sleep? what is that?

and so---here's that kind of activity that happens every now and then, (and documented) ;D to add life in the staleness of this life's routines

here's the poster we used. a supposedly teaser, flyer, leaflet around the campus before the University's College of Arts and Humanities Day. there was a final and official poster that came in-- but its not in my file--and so--i used this (here), instead ;D

and so, lets start off with these cookies and brownies that was such a hit. a fund-raising activity for the fine arts department

meet ms. pen, art director for expat philippines zine, taking charge of the sales and taking the day off from 'publishing' and joining the fair. she is also a part-time lecturer in this university

alyssa of ADHD on-line zine(r-in navy shirt, art student, sold her stuff and my neighbor during the event.she was the top seller of the day!and below are just the remains of her stuffs that sold out early on.

and moi, showing off my 'early' hoards--from my booth neighbor alyssa. as in i have just arranged my stuff and no sales yet, off i went looking at others' 'what-have-theys':D

(get a good view of those goodies on the last photos just below)

and yes, moi ageyyn posing behind my area, with the 'artings' i offer ;D

here they are

my art pins did well--many thanks to those who purchased and ordered, and to those who are yet to experience these kinda pretties ;D--you are all welcome! i am counting progressively the ways to use them artfully and sensibly here, so that the use of each piece will be maiximized. art and economy

in times like these.

ms. shanda is busy while waiting for the peeps to peep in, and below are what she offers

she is also a part-time lecturer here by the way; a major in digital art, but is very much in touch with aesthetic expressions by way of her hand-sewn art

the european student buyers ;D

kc cadapan of thetomtoething, art student in her 'continuing' studies joined us with her artings. below are her works--the only fella' who is mightily armed with her logo and design on paper package she uses to put the buyer's purchases--and we're all drooling because we are unprepared in that particular detail ;(

misato of justdoodles(left) and angel (right) are boothmates; both art students with their art and stuffs below

merick is a work scholar art student here, with his hand-painted cards for all occassions. they are a work of art that is worth framing ;D. he sold well--yahoooooooo!

and meet this little miss shopper barely 6 y.0(kids these days are different!)

arrived in all pink-a-loo-ness, alone. armed with her shopping money inside that feeenk dora the explorer hand-bag she's sporting, she went about each booth, and all of us seller,trying to lull her with our goodies---as we suggest our stuffs ;D--but she wont be tempted--she kept looking until she personally picked what she wants--took her money from that dora purse and paid smiling (she has the decorum...) this is one of her choice--hehehe--thank you pretty little shopper for choosing this--what a fashion sense you have. you started early! and moi gave her the yellow plush toy ;D

the library folks staged a sale on their books that they wanted to get rid off, and here's what i bought from them;D:

i was thinking hard on that ancient, (far right) short of 3 years and it'll turn a hundred (100) y.0! that, i guess is the selling point...
