Unique Jewelry by Paul Guillemette

These beautiful, one of the kind jewelry pieces are the latest creations of a sculptor, ceramicist & painter - Paul Guillemette

       

Guillemette’s Jewelry Line is similar to his art, which he assembles in striking patterns, and then seals them with smooth, transparent resin so that they seem to be cast in honey. His jewelry can be purchased at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland, a unique playful jewelry studio/shop/art gallery in Eagle Rock, inspired by modern & Retro designs, as well as  LACMA in the Mid-Wilshire.

Don’t Give Up

Dedication to all our friends, who walked this journey with us…

Peter Gabriel Don’t Give Up

Songwriters: WHITE, JOY LYNN / MELAMED, VINCENT EDWARD

“Don’t Give Up”

in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don’t give up
‘cos you have friends
don’t give up
you’re not beaten yet
don’t give up
I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we’d be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground

don’t give up
you still have us
don’t give up
we don’t need much of anything
don’t give up
’cause somewhere there’s a place
where we belong

rest your head
you worry too much
it’s going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don’t give up
please don’t give up

‘got to walk out of here
I can’t take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river’s flowing
that river’s flowing

moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs

don’t give up
’cause you have friends
don’t give up
you’re not the only one
don’t give up
no reason to be ashamed
don’t give up
you still have us
don’t give up now
we’re proud of who you are
don’t give up
you know it’s never been easy
don’t give up
’cause I believe there’s the a place
there’s a place where we belong

call for artists – 2VIE Art Auction Benefit 7-9-11

First, I wanted to say thank you for the incredible love and support that you’ve sent our way during Vee’s surgery – we couldn’t have pulled through this challenging time without you….

After a very successful brain surgery and promising post-operative recuperation, Vee is on a slow road to recovery, as there has been some recent set backs that slowed down the process. It will take little longer before he is able to go back to work, so to help cover his post surgery medical bills and other daily expenses, we are calling on all that would like to participate in a Benefit Silent Art Auction : 2VIE 

:::::::::::::

We are in process of gathering Art or Services donations to be auctioned off, on the silent auction during one day benefit event.

Here is the fun part:

——————

The event of Live Silent Auction is taking place at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland - Art Studio | Shop | Gallery in Eagle Rock, on Saturday, July 9th at 6PM - during NELA Art Walk!

To maximize donor’s exposure**, all participating artists and/or businesses will be featured in our new blog – VArtMuse -”2VIE – Art Auction Benefit & Exhibit“, as well as photos of art will be posted for preview-display on the event’s Facebook page with an artist bio or short description of your business.

 

So, If you’re interested in donating an art piece, business service or volunteer your time during the event, on July 9th, please let us know. You can contact us at: vartmuse@gmail.com

 

Also, if participating, please email us few lines about you and a picture of your art with art dimensions, or a logo of your business.

Deadline to physically submit your art work* is  ::: JUNE 21st, 2011::: 

(however, the sooner you submit your work’s jpg, the longer will be on our “online display” for pre-auction preview, so please submit a photo of your art donation as soon  as possible)

*If possible, please submit art in display ready condition

**Since unfortunately the contributions are not tax-deductible because they are not going directly to a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, i’m offering the online exposure to the participating artists, with an opportunity to showcase your art (or business) via blog and facebook and then of course the live event, which is happening on NELA Art Walk night
——————-

The event will be grand, with wine, raffle, vegan truffles, a food truck parked in front of the gallery and with your participation, the gallery wall will be filled with art given from heart.

We hope to see you at 2-V benefit event, and celebrate life, its endurance and friendships that help us go through it all!

Izabela
