Not everyone can afford to buy one of the original paintings by Oscar, Willy, Isabella, Nicky, Ivan and the other talented young artists whose work will be on display Friday night.
Here is an awesome alternative, one you can even wear!
Blue Infinity Designs has shrunk scans of the artwork down to teeny tiny versions of themselves. The resulting little squares are mounted onto scrabble-esque wooden tiles and covered with a thick protective coating. A bail, a cord, some colorful glass and silver beads and voila! You've got very cool wearable art by the children from St. Mary Kevin Orphanage.
These pieces will make their debut on Friday night. Look for a special table, staffed by high school volunteers, near the Kajjansi Marketplace. The girls will help you select just the right piece from the collection of necklaces and bracelets. This is the first time we've ever offered these; I had no idea how many to order. We may run out! If so, orders can be placed.
Bracelets and necklaces that have beads are $28.00 each.
Necklaces that consist only of a cord and a tile are $15.00 each. Extra tiles are $12.00.
