Hey peeps, as many know I took last holiday season off from doing Patchwork but I am back at it! Le Modern Trinket will be vending at the Long Beach show on May 20th at the Marine Stadium. The event starts at 11am ends at 5pm. I have been cranking away in the studio trying to come up with something different which I have and I have found a new fondness for snap rings and I have been busy away making more up-cycled mourning hair Victorian brooch pieces.

Follow Le Modern Trinket on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr for more up-to-date info as to what I have been up to. I was going to be splitting the 10×10 booth with another artist but she had something pop up so it will be just moi. Le Modern Trinket will be in Booth #69 Swing by and say hi! I will have my assistant with me Wu and we will also be giving complementary Fringe trims. So, peruse trinkets and get your fringe cut (bangs) I loathe the word bangs.  Check out the FB page for the Christina Sanchez Hair Design page. See ya Sunday! Support the local economy and buy handmade! It’s better!

Happy 82nd birthday to Jasper Johns!

From our website: In the 1950s Jasper Johns developed a distinctive painting style that would help lead American art away from the then-dominant movement of Abstract Expressionism. The exact correspondence of figure and ground in his work challenged the traditional distinction between an object and its depiction. At the same time, variations on each theme dissolved the “natural” link between the symbol and its meaning. Johns thus questioned the basic underpinnings of our representational system, and specifically the mechanisms of fine art.
