Beach-n-Bling at the Grand Opening of the Rainforest Art Center

A view of the activity going on inside the RAC during the Art Space Event sponsored by the Rainforest Council for the Arts

On April 18, 2015 the Rainforest ArtCenter in Forks, WA had its grand opening and dedication ceremony. For the story behind the RAC please follow this link. 

Rainforest Council for the Arts  sponsored the Art Space event in the RAC on grand opening day. (read the president's report of the day's event) 

The art space event had local artists set up and demonstrating throughout the main room of the new building while the public could come in and have a look around at the newly opened Rainforest Art Center.

Beach-n-Bling staffed a kids' activity table loaded with beads donated by members of the community and helped kids design and create their own bracelets or necklaces. Once the day got rolling, kids were constantly at the table making jewelry until it was time to pack up and make room for the evening's events.



Beach-n-Bling owner /operator, Teresa Falkenberg is a Forks, WA resident and a  member of the Rainforest Council for the Arts and Far West Art League.

Happiness is...

Happiness is...

Happiness is finding a treasure where you'd least expect it.

Last week we went beach hiking on a beach near Kalaloch , WA. The weather has been such that the wind was blowing in straight from the west which means that stuff starts washing ashore. That means interesting beach hiking for beachcombers. 
Normally I don't find sea glass on this beach. So I was pleasantly surprised to find some this time. Here are a few photos of the sea glass I found. 

 






Do you see the face in the rock?
