new summer paintings from Armas Design

There is so much goodness in this new batch of paintings. I have been inspired by summer time! Grilled peaches and mint juleps and mesquite bbq breezes...obsessed with food much? In any case, I hope you enjoy these paintings full of movement, and painted with love. Some are jubilant exclamations of color! Some are thoughtful and full of light and space. They are meant to be hung in any direction you like, and they look even better in groups. I would love to show you all my brand-spanking-new studio space, but it is still being gussied up, and would prefer to display only it's sexy pictures. Don't forget to check out the blog for all your voyeuring needs. If you make it this far down the newsletter, you deserve a treat. Hows about 10% off with coupon code TENFINGERDISCOUNT. Or maybe I just need another julep. A preview of pieces available right now in the shop! Looking for something specific? Contact me, we can work together to get you just the right look for your home. My latest commission is for a stately family living room. The client wanted a loose composition and bright colors to compliment her navy and slate blue color scheme. ©2011 Armas Design | 207 Warren st. NE Atlanta GA 30317

NEW CITIES, NEW STORES!

Sala, Molly Green, and Fisherman's Daughter are

the latest addition to stores where you can find Feral Childe's Spring 2011 Collection.

More to come soon!

It's shaping up to be a very busy season. We've just returned from the Middle East where we were guests of Virginia Commonwealth University's Qatar campus. We spent a week with our wonderful hosts and were inspired by the fashion design students there, and had a lovely trunkshow at Cugini Boutique. We promise, we'll upload some photos soon. We will probably put them on Facebook. . .

This weekend we will both be at the Turtle Trunkshow in Boston. Stop by please! Gifts for the first six shoppers so come early! Then we are back in Brooklyn getting ready for the big move. Come to our studio and shop from past seasons, samples, studio furniture, sewing supplies, fabric, and more. If you're lucky you can get a sneak peak at Fall 2011!

Then it's back to the West Coast for some summertime fun. EcoCitizen is cooking up a great day of events to be announced soon so stay tuned. The Green Gala fashion show features Feral Childe and local designers who have been using the gardens as direct inspiration for pieces for the fashion show. And the last stop for now will be the Summer Solstice Celebration at Swarm with music and art all day into the evening; a full lineup of participants to follow shortly.

It's great to get noticed -- we've had some nice press lately; both online and in print. Check it out at EcoSalon and the online version of TimeOut New York.

That's it for now. Thanks for reading. Not able to make it to events? Email us about those styles you've had your eye on and we will help you locate your nearest retailer. Feel free to ask us questions about sizing or fit. Also, we're seeking a body decoupage assistant!

ABOUT SPRING 2011: For Spring 2011, join Feral Chide on an expedition to Tarquinia, an ancient Roman city known for its Etruscan frescoes and mosaics. Dreaming of this seaside civilization, Feral Childe created watercolor collages for new digital silk prints depicting divers, revelers, and artisans. The silks, textured organic cotton knits, Hempcel linen and other fabrics are lasercut, looped and pleated into a wearable catalog of amphora, fish, birds and plant life in earthy and vibrant colors. Made in NYC's Historic Garment Center.

Permaculture classes in Brooklyn

MAKE IT YOURSELF!

Who says you need a homestead to practice Permaculture! We'll show you how to live the good life by putting your hands and kitchen to work. We think our bodies deserve the best and as permaculture hedonists believe that what we create with our hands is far superior to anything you can buy on the shelves of any store.

Last year we ran this series of lactoferment classes along with a Handcrafted Beauty series to great success. Many sold out fast with our cap at 10 students for each class. We checked our busy teaching and parenting schedules and set aside some dates to present these learning opportunities once again. Join us for these three fermented foods classes that will increase your vitality as well as your self-sufficiency. Come learn why fermented foods are so incredibly nutritious and how they can fit into your life.

The Handmade Beauty series will take the mystery out of formulating your own safe and cheap beauty necessities suitable for your gender of choice. We will explore a host of different ingredients from ones found in your kitchen cupboard to the more exotic ones found via the internet. This series will now include household cleaners as well. All of these will be great for gift giving!

Start crafting today and share your creations with friends and family!

$30 per class OR $25 if you register for two or more classes!

To register email back at this address dreikycaprice@gmail.com

Lactoferments
Saturday, December 11th
6:00- 8:00-pm $30

This workshop will walk you through making a variety of lactoferments including: kim chee, sauerkraut, ginger-carrots and other root crop lactoferments. Bring 2 wide mouth 1 pint glass mason jars with lids if you would like to take home jars of our finished products. Also bring a good cutting knife and a cutting board and the Beyond Organic vegetables will be almost entirely from our farm.
Handouts of recipes will be provided. IMPORTANT!!! Please register a week in advance so we can insure the correct amount of ingredients. This is sure to fill up fast!

Sourdough Bread
Sunday, December 12th
6:00-8:00pm $30

In this, our second fermented food workshop, we will harvest Brooklyn’s wild yeasts to make bread rise into a fluffy loaf that is truly delicious! We will show you the ins and outs of making and baking sourdough bread so that you can get started with confidence. We will also cover sourdough pancakes. Delicious! Participants should bring a small jar to take home some sourdough starter.


Handcrafting Home Brews
Friday, December 17th
6:00- 8:00 pm $30

This third workshop will cover: malting whole grains for superlative home brew beers and will include sources for organic whole grains; preparing herbal tonics and sacred beers with wild dandelion, yarrow, rosemary and others; culturing wild yeasts. Kombucha preparation will also be covered and kombucha “mothers” will be given away to make at home. Handouts of recipes will be provided.


Handmade Beauty Part 1 and 2
Saturday, December 18th
Part 1 - 2-4pm $30
Sunday, December 19th
Part 2 - 2-4pm $30

In this class we will craft a variety of body care products made from ingredients easily found in your kitchen cabinet or local heath food store. You will expand your knowledge of herbs, save money and feel your beautiful best by making and using your own handmade beauty products. Are you spending wads of cash on eco-household cleaners? Well you can stop! We will be providing recipes and samples for some of the most often used cleaners. Bring 5 or so small containers (washed take out condiment containers work great) so you can take some samples of what we craft home.
It would be great if people could let me know what they are interested in learning how to make. While I would like to cover it all in one class it just takes too much time!

Part 1

For your Face...
Face Cleanser
Face Scrub
Herbal Face Toner
Moisturizer
Tinted Lip Balm

Plus Household Cleaners!

Part 2

For your body...

embroidery news from Iviva Olenick

Dear friends,

This September, I had the pleasure of participating in a one-night exhibit, "Sleeping with Strangers," sponsored by Salon Ciel. I exhibited embroideries from my Were I So Besotted series alongside the black and white photographs of Robert Gerhardt. While the show was fleeting, the experience was recorded in a video, where you can see and hear Robert and I talk about our work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGEoPOtZqHk.

You can also read a review of "Sleeping with Strangers" here: http://gallerycrawl.typepad.com/gallery_crawl/2010/10/recent-fall-shows-in-brief.html. Thanks to James Kao for writing this article, and Salon Ciel for hosting the exhibit.

For those of you in the New York area, my latest installment of the Embroidered Art Journal class at Pratt CCPS in Manhattan is coming up very soon. The Embroidered Art Journal, PMDA-104-02, runs for 5 weeks on Friday evenings from 6:30-9:30 - November 5 - December 10th. $195/ 15 hours of workshop/studio time. This class is perfect for absolute beginners and more experienced embroiderers. With my guidance and input, each student crafts an art book incorporating embroidery and additional media of his/her choice. You can sign up via Pratt's web site, http://my.pratt.edu, or by calling 212-647-7199. I hope to see some of you there! Please feel free to share this information with friends.

Finally, if you live in Brooklyn, you can see my embroidered art work at Muriel Guepin Gallery on Bergen Street near Smith Street, steps away from the F/G to Bergen Street. The address is 47 Bergen Street, and the gallery sits beside the Invisible Dog, an event, performance, and exhibition space.

Thanks to all of you for your ongoing interest in my work.

with love,

Iviva
