DREAMING of Spring ...

I love the change of seasons, my favorite being Spring! Crisp air, blue skies, flowers in bloom + longer days. Last saturday, for 2nd Saturdays NELAart gallery night, we had the opening event for Stacey Winters, appropriately called Dreams Of Spring, at my shop Leanna Lin's Wonderland!

A whimsical tale of spring through the creations of Stacey Winters. Paper wings, woodland creatures, tiny art, miniature photograph pendants, paper garlands and more. Stacey is a San Diego based photographer and artist. Her work is bright and fanciful with vintage charm.

DJ EV-1 was spinning tunes as we were transported into spring on this chilly evening, eating flower cookie pops by Maile's Fine Pastries + cozy gourmet ramen from Rokyo truck!

ART GALLERY + POP-UP SHOP ON VIEW 4/9 ~ 5/8 (during shop hours)

Beading at Wonderland

I LOVE beads!

The last few months have been fun-filled at Leanna Lin's Wonderland. Kids, tweens/teens + adults have been creating their own beaded jewelry from our counter of jars. Play around with candy-looking beads in our open studio workshop, while making unique gifts for loved ones and yourself. Also celebrate your special day at Wonderland *-*

Check back often for new things ~ I love putting vintage beads + pendants in the mix from my Leanna Lin Jewelry stash!

Love & Other Fairy Tales jewelry

Last October, Mekanikku came into my shop and showed me her hand painted dolls inspired by city girls (primary Tokyo). Artist, Liane Shih, haw tons of enthusiasm and her dolls immediately found a home at Wonderland! We talked about her 1st solo show and I was excited about doing a Leanna Lin Jewelry collection inspired by her work for *Love & Other Fairy Tales* I created pieces following Mekanikku's color palate of black, cherry red, bubble gum pink + turquoise (fun and bright). Excited to break into my collection of beads + charms: vintage Lucite, vintage glass, hearts + Harajuku charms I got from my Tokyo trip last march ... I started to play! I had the best time creating "Oh My Deer", which is a *one-of-a-kind* piece using Mekanikku's handmade stuffed deer head. See photos below + check out our work at my shop until March 27th, 2011.

Read more on the opening event and Mekanikku's art!
