FYI: Clean up the Bay the Creative Way!
23 aug 2013 10:25

San Francisco city has implemented a 5 cent charge for store to "provide a bag service" hoping that people BYOB, Bring your Own Bag, to stores. The Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association (BASMAA) study recently, revealed that about 1.36 million gallons of trash flows into the Bay every year. "This is 100 percent preventable," said Brosseau to the Mercury News. "Trash doesn't happen by itself. If we can get people to modify their behavior, we'll make huge gains." The Bay Area has a deadline to clean up the bay by 2014 otherwise they will be fined, meaning the taxpayers. So in efforts to contribute as a Bay Area Resident, here is a promotional video as well as some cool project people have done with their extra plastic bags.

Idle hands are the Devil's Playground.
20 aug 2013 01:53

Everyone is artistic, no denying that. Others just need to find how to be creative. Its important to keep hands busy so the devil does not have a playground. Instead create your own, with DYI projects! Some are easier than others, but most of these objects can be found at home. Remember to wear your craft clothes. If worried about the mess... then take the party to a friends house!

Local to Ithaca New York, Kelly Cox-Brady is creating a horticultural landscape with a paint brush. Her paintings are very much like her personality, bright, bubbly, big, with a earthly center and a realistic personality. Studying landscape design, Kelly thought she would be taking her green thumb to make plants grow. Somehow along the way of life she grew Black Eye Susans (flowers) to over 10 feet tall in her Botanical Mural in Ithaca. Quoted in Garden Designs, Kelly talks about how her education combines her passion for art. "One interesting aspect of painting botanical murals is the attention to detail that is required. Since my subjects are larger than life, many details become obvious that are easily overlooked on the actual plant. It is almost like putting a specimen under a microscope, but instead I’m painting them on walls. This is where my education in plant science comes in handy. I make sure the veins, stems and petals are all scientifically accurate." Don't you love it when science and art combine together!
