First May I say thank you to South County Art Supply for donating the gouache paints that I used for this flyer!  Andrea, the owner, told me these paints were nice and bright…No Kidding, They sure are!  They also come in the same colors as digital printer inks – magenta, cyan and primary yellow which is great for creating flyers that need to be easily reproduced.

Well welcome to Eco Fair week!

This week I will be unveiling a different Eco Fair flyer each day as my community service to my children’s school.  My kid’s school has two academic filters – environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

It all started last year when the woman in charge of the Eco Fair asked me if I could come up with something bright and cheery for their flyer.  These were the options I came up with last year:

The committee members each placed a vote and the owl was the winner.  It took off from there.  Soon there was a woman creating a mascot costume.  Kids creating drawings.  T-shirts were designed. They had a “Name The Owl” contest. One child even created her own owl stuffed animal.  Let’s just say the kids were very excited to have a special mascot for their fair .  The Eco Fair Owl’s official name is ECO by the way.

This year I was honored to be asked to create another flyer/t-shirt design for this years Eco-fair.  I figured I would make them 4-5 different designs, then they could pick one for this year, and have the others for future years to come.

I also was asked to revamp two old school desks to be entered into the school auction, so I will post photos of those throughout the week too.

I am slowly learning, if you volunteer your strengths it is simply not work at all.  Just pure joy!

Let’s see which Owl the Eco Fair committee chooses this year!
