We are doing Creative Vision Boards this month. They are a collage of what you envision for your work, your creative business or your life in general. This is a great exercise to get a clear visual on the things you want in your work and in your life. We have done these in the past and many people had a break through that day. I have my vision boards all around me in my studio and I still find inspiration from them. Please bring your board, glue and anything extra you might want to put on your board. We have magazines and other collage materials. Just show up and let the magic happen!

Please join us for this fun exercise and bring in your new work for show and tell! Thanks Lisa Scala

Art Vs. Fashion Jewelry

Art Vs. Fashion? What makes a piece "ART" and what makes it "Fashion"? I have struggled with this topic most of my adult career and before. It started in High School when I created my first line of jewelry for a school art show. I did it for art class credits but the topic of using found materials and use of the latest trends in my pieces led to questions of is jewelry "Art". This continued especially through out college were the Jewelers were not considered  fine artists as the painters and sculptors were. Though both the mediums of sculpting and color study are used in jewelry making. We as jewelers are essentially creating small wearable sculpture using stones, beads and enamel for the coloration of the work. It can be a little frustrating to get past this Craft dilemma when it comes to being taken seriously in the gallery/art scene. But I have to tell you that in my opinion jewelry has made Art accessible to the masses and that's not such a bad thing. I can create art that is made for the owner to enjoy and they inturn proudly wear the art piece out to the public instead of the few people that make it to the conventional art openings. I still question these two categorization's with my Art Jewelry and my Fashion Line of Jewelry so I do have a few of my own criteria to what makes my jewelry Art or Fashion. One, Art needs to be original, handmade and resonate with me as well the wearer. Fashion on the other hand should touch on the latest trends and styles. It should also be part of what creates someones individual style. Art and Fashion both are individual and personal so anything goes.We have discussed this in our Artists Success Circle and man did it get heated! The potters, jewelers and fiber artists all had a different view but the underlying message was that feeling of being considered and honored as an artist is what we all wanted. Really who is to say what is Art and what is not? What do you think? Please join in and be heard! For more info.on the Artists Success circle group: ScalaArtCenter.com

Native American Jewelry Workshop

We had such a great time at the "Sisters Weekend Workshop" this past Saturday! The sisters had a Native American theme for their weekend together. They have a yearly tradition to spend time together with a mutually chosen theme and some set criteria. Having fun, seeing new sights, learning and expanding their skills are the few that stood out for me. Learning a skill was where I came in and I feel very honored to be a part  their special weekend. They both had this strong want to have a keep sake record for their families to share great tradition. The way that we did this was by creating a disc with the date and their names on them as part of their incredible pieces seen above. We gathered natural items and some traditional Native American materials to work with and just let our imaginations go. I taught them many new jewelry skills coupled with working together on the design. I am so very proud of them for their amazing results.
Thank You for the experience ladies! I feel very inspired and honored!

Mix & Match Charms and Chains

I have designed and created a line of jewelry for everyone "Mix & Match Charms and Chains" has really taken off. This line enables you to create your own jewelry pieces in your length, color and of course your own unique style. From large bold statement pieces to trendy everyday wear. The charms come in a large variety for everybodies taste. "Vintage Romantic" with angels, hearts and antique keys. "International" with Chinese Blessings, Incan images and Fleur De Lis. "Style Trends" with silver keys, star fish, anchors, locks, birds, and owls to name a few. "Industrial Edge" with light bulbs, tags, typewriter keys, and dice."Kids Rock" has butterflies, hearts, suns, bees, animals, peace signs, flowers and so much more in all the categories. I introduced this concept a few years ago and it has gotten better each year thanks to my customers and friends. I just got in a new lot of charms this week so your welcome to come and check them out at the center gallery or just hang out with us. Scala Art Center A Place for Art & Fun! Thanks Lisa Scala

Fashion Trends This Spring

I am loving some of the fashion trends happening this season. Stripes are so hot right now but remember girls they can be less than flattering around our trouble areas. What I do is use them as accents or under a sweater or blazer. So cute! I am seeing allot of great corals and aquas (my personal favs). Natural gemstones and charms in jewelry. That nautical theme is poping up once again, just remember to keep it in check with the stripes and accessories can get a bit over done. I use the old proverb: put your accessories on then edit by taking at least one off. Purple is the color with kids and adults alike this time around. Juicy colors for the spring and summer collections. Fun! Fun! Fun! And yes some Day-glow for the kids is eking it's way in, but ladies a good rule of thumb is if you wore it the first time it was in fashion it might be to young for ya this time. Sucks when that happens! Always remember fashion info. is great but creating your own personal style is always in fashion!

Hi, its Alex Lisa's son from kids in ART and today I had a wonderful time learning about a new type of mini-comic called a zine and it has to do with you opening your mind and spilling all your ideas onto the page. Today I made a zine called  Me, Myself, and I. Its a story plotted out in poetry, the actual story is about how zines are important to my life and everyone else's life so go out and be honest, creative raw, and absurd. If you follow these steps you'll make a kick butt zine.

If you like what you heard and saw go to a search engine and look up "Whatcha Mean Whats a Zine?"
