Christmas Is Coming - Gifts Are Getting Artistic
Torontonians!
You still have the possibility to see this wonderful exhibition. This weekend only!
Today I was at the Annual Christmas Exhibition. I love such shows very much and try to visit everyone. I already got some friends among participants: many artists have participated in these exhibitions for years, exposing not only new but sometimes the same products which have not been sold on the last show. At such great exhibitions there are always a lot of new artists, articles, ideas. And as always, this exhibition embraces a variety of exhibits. There are artists of different fields, and boutiques with original clothes from fabrics, jersey, leather and fur have been presented; and photos, and cards, and self-made soaps and perfumes...>>>
As usual, my attention was mainly put on my everlasting love – glass and ceramics, certainly, as well. I found a couple of new studios with new ideas and unusual works. For example, here are some photos (more pictures may be seen on the sites of studios. As a rule, the most artists do not permit to photograph their articles).

Irish Images studio >>> + >>>
And the most interesting at the Exhibition was the demonstration of manufacturing of art glass products. I never thought that it can be shown so cheerfully and artistically, furthermore under the music. >>>
I have met the artist familiar to me from the last exhibitions who does original things and originally represents them. I actually had fallen in love with these dolls: >>> + >>>
A charitable organization has been presented at the Exhibition too. Its activity has devoted to help and treatment of children with moving problems by means of riding. It seems to me it is called hypnotherapies. The representative of this organization has been selling calendars with artistic photos of horses . >>>
There are still a lot of interesting things and delicious food.
Come with children, you will never regret!

Christmas Is Coming - Ежегодная Рождественская Выставка
Torontonians!
You still have the possibility to see this wonderful exhibition. This weekend only!
Сегодня была на ежегодной Рождественской выставке. Я вообще очень люблю подобные зрелища и стараюсь не пропускать не одного. Интересно, что у меня уже появились знакомые: многие художники годами участвуют в этих выставках, часто выставляя те же произведения, не проданные на прошлом вернисаже. Но на таких больших выставках всегда появляется что-то новое. Как всегда, выставка отличалась разнообразием экспонатов. Были представлены и художники разных направлений, и бутики с оригинальной одеждой из тканей, трикотажа, кожи и меха, и не знаю, из чего еще, и фотографии, и открытки, и самодельное мыло и парфюмерия...>>>
Но меня больше всего привлекает моя непреходящая любовь – стекло. Ну и керамика, конечно, тоже. Было несколько новых – для меня – студий с необычными работами. Например, вот эти (еще картинки можно посмотреть на их сайтах, привожу те, у кого выпросила карточки, как правило, художники фотографировать не разрешают):
Студия Миллeра (www.igs.net/~ azuka) >>>
Студия Irish Images >>> + >>>
И самое интересное – демонстрация изготовления художественных изделий из стекла. Никогда не думала, что это можно показать так весело и артистично, да еще и под музыку.(www.alexanagnostou.com) >>>
Встретила свою знакомую с прошлых выставок художницу, которая делает оригинальные украшения и оригинально их представляет. В ее кукол можно влюбиться: >>> + >>>
Отдельно было представлено благотворительное общество, посвятившее свою деятельность помощи и лечению детей с помощью верховой езды (www.cantra.ca).
www.fairytalesofhope.com
Кажется, это называется хипотерапией. Представительницa общества продавала календари с фотографиями лошадей. >>>
Там было еще много интересного и вкусного. Сходите с детьми, не пожалеете!

Can a Passion for Ballet Help Us to Be Strong?

Independent Lens: Mirror Dance
by Frances McElroy and Maria T. Rodriguez
Identical twins Margarita and Ramona de Saa became acclaimed ballerinas with the National Ballet of Cuba. Once inseparable, their relationship disintegrated as one sister left for America while the other embraced the Cuban revolution. This program is the story of two women forever linked by birth and dance, but struggling to overcome rifts not only between sisters but also between nations.
