Coming up on March 20 at the Madrid Theater in Kansas City, I’ll be selling my wares at the Gypsy Emporium. It’s a new recurring event organized by Therese Livella of HarvestOfPeace.com. Something a little different and surely interesting and fun with music, food, belly dancers, etc… Come by! 10am – 4pm.
I’m also proud to announce that as of today, I am a card carrying member of the Guild of American Papercutters. Check out the organization’s website at papercutters.org.
I’ve got a solo paper cutting exhibit coming up on Dec. 3 through Jan. 7, 2011, at the Carnegie Arts Center in Leavenworth, KS. There will be an opening reception Friday, Dec. 3. I’ll update more when time draws nearer.
I’m also plotting out some ideas for a paper cutting class to teach at the Carnegie Arts Center in Leavenworth, KS. If you are in the area and are interested in taking a class, know folks who would be interested, or have some ideas of what you’d like to learn in class, shoot me an email (angela [at] ruralpearl [dot] com). I’ll update here if and when I get it organized.
8 x 10 inch giclee prints of my original paper cutting titled “Harvest Moon” are now available in my Etsy store!

HELP CHILDREN IN HAITI: Through Sunday, Jan. 24, 2010, I am donating 100% of sales on my 3 featured prints in my Etsy Store: “Broken Hearted”, “Heavy Things” & “The Starling” to UNICEF’s fund for the relief of children in Haiti. According to UNICEF’s website, “The U.S. Fund for UNICEF is absorbing all associated administrative costs so that 100% of every dollar you give to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF will support UNICEF’s relief efforts for children in Haiti.” If you’d like to donate directly, you can do so at https://secure.unicefusa.org/site/Donation2?df_id=6680&6680.donation=form1

Or, a picture of my grandmother reading LIFE magazine – approximately 1944. She still looks about the same today. This is one of my favorite photos ever. (Click the picture for a larger version on Flickr)
No “new” paper cuttings posted here for awhile – but I’ve got some things in the works, including some new work for an exhibit at Crosstown Station in Kansas City. This is the same place I exhibited last November and they’ve asked me to put some things up on the wall during the month of February. So stop by if you’re in the area – they’ll be up around Feb. 4.
I’ve also got a pretty big art fair coming up Feb. 12 – 14 at Ward Parkway Center in Kansas City. Working on some new things for that as well. More details when the date approaches.
Besides that, I’m working on another project that I’m really excited about (more down the road), starting into my role as a substitute college art teacher for the next month, thinking about some light stop-motion silhouette animation work I want to do (on my new lightbox!), and plotting out the next 6 months of my life – which includes a rented van and a “working” road trip to South Dakota. Paper cuttings coming soon.
