We had a great time at the Bellevue Arts Museum Artsfair.  We were really pleased with how many people came up to us to offer encouragment and compliment us on our new designs.  We were also really happy to have two great assistants in our booth, Phoebe and Avi.      This is a photo of our booth and Phoebe.

Photos from Vancouver Fashion Week, Red Jade Design Fashion Show.  Designer, Margarita Angelato’s Fall 2010 collection worked beautifully with our new Arung Wood Collection.  top: large link arung extended necklace, bottom: large faceted Arung bead necklace with chocolate leather adjustable strap.

Deep, dark, sculptural Arung wood is the latest feature of Lemon Park’s collection for 2010. 

The inspiration for our new collection comes from outside my front door, the Vancouver Dockyards. I used to go down to an old ship building site and take pictures and gather rusty, sculpturally interesting and historically curious metal and wood off-cuts to use in my mixed media works. The scale of the pieces, even at their salt-rusted, long- decayed stage was always alluring: short, rusted lengths of huge link chains, enormous rusty bolts, screws, ties, and large multi-dented, like huge multi-faceted, metal ball shapes that once served as buoys. Lengths of now prized antique old growth wood beams and posts lay about, having collapsed under neglect and darkened by wet weather and layers of decaying leaves. 

I thought of those days of discovery and the wonder and strength of scale, shape and lines of familiar items, on familiar ground, when I designed this wood collection.
