The Venice Swap was a success! Thanks to all the volunteers who generously devoted their time and skill. We made trick or treat bags, costumes, and silk screened skulls and daggers.
Felicity Huffman and daughter were in the house transforming their new found clothes. Who says thrift is only for the poor?? Swap focuses on recycling, transforming, creating and being "green."
That's right, on Sunday, May 31, we will convene at the Santa Monica Museum of Art for another Swap O Rama Rama. This is a special T-shirt only Swap in support of the museums program Cause for Creativity.
The line up of silk screeners and designers armed with sewing machines is awesome and you can learn more about them here.
At Swap, you bring T-shirts and a mere $5 and gain entry to a room full of creativity. Over 10 stations are at your access armed with a bevy of talented professionals to help you transform old into new. This is all about reuse, reduce and recycle.
So, come Sunday from 2pm to 5pm at the Santa Monica Museum of Art located in the Bergamot Staion, Building I, 2525 Michigan Ave, Santa Monica, Ca 90404.
As a special treat, here's a look at the creation of a Hoodie from two old T-shirts. We had a lot of fun making this video, as you'll be able to tell! But it turned out darn cute and I'll be wearing it Sunday!!
The 18th Annual Santa Monica Arts Festival is this weekend at Clover Park. The festival theme is "Revel with a Cause" and the line up for music, food, workshops and vendors is fantastic. We will be selling our US Forestry recycled canteen bags while they last as well as other assorted Hip Line Media goodies designed to get you creating!
See the line up at the Festival website. Back again is the Fashion Workshop with Ann Closs-Farley. She will be creating outfits out of paper bags. She is uber talented and fun to watch. Our great friend Asuka Hisa of the Santa Monica Museum of Art will be helping folks design trophies at her workshop "Champions of Change".
The weather will be great so get on out and party with us in the park!
Hip Line Media is once again sponsoring the uber hip, utterly fun and eco friendly Swap O Rama Rama in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 16, 2008 at the Shrine Expo Center from 11am to 5pm.
This is a giant clothing swap staffed with volunteer designers armed with sewing machines. Bring a bag of clothes and $5 (or $10 without clothes) and get your creative juices flowing. You can even learn to sew your own.
There are more designers participating this year than ever! We'll have stations to make Holiday Stockings, Mittens, Plushies and more. As a bonus, this year Swap will team up with Felt Club, an indie craft show, with over 150 booths of the best handmade goods around. So get set to do your Holiday shopping and creating at Holiday Swap.
