Each month, ScrapStreet
travels to a new street, taking inspiration from
that particular location. We learn a bit
about our stop and try to infuse that knowledge
and attitude in our creations. The monthly
challenges encourage us to shake up our
scrapping, trying new techniques, themes, and
altered items as well as cards and color
combinations. Travel along with us as we
spend June enjoying:
Absolut Chalk Street Painting Festival
Pasadena, California
Every June since 1992,
Absolut Vodka and the Light-Bringer
Project (a local non-profit arts
organization) have co-sponsored the
Absolut Chalk Street Painting Festival,
which is the largest festival of its
kind in the world. It's a multi-cultural
extravaganza of self-expression. 400 of
the world's best street artists descend
upon Pasadena to paint -- or shall I say
chalk -- two city blocks pink. Awards
are presented in such categories as the
Wildest, the Most Colorful, the Best
Rendition of a Master, the Most
Humorous, the Most Inspiring, and the
overall Favorite.
