Mingle Media TV and the Red Carpet Report team were invited to come out to Marc Friedland Couture Communications offices to see how this iconic envelope is made in Marc’s studio. Red Carpet Report host, Tamara Krinsky also spoke with Marc at the Governors Ball preview earlier this week and have included our coverage with this post. At the “Making Of” the envelope at Marc’s studio we were treated to delicious bites and bubbly including wine from Sterling Vineyards and cocktails from Diageo.
At the “Making of” Event we learned that the custom-designed envelope is handcrafted from a high gloss, iridescent metallic
paper, which is then treated in “Oscar” gold and complemented by a red-lacquered lining featuring the Oscar
statuette hand-stamped in satin gold leaf. The exterior of “The Envelope” features an Art Deco-inspired satin gold foil-treated frame with an ecru inset panel bearing the name of the award category which is written in a rich charcoal ink.
Precautions are taken for security so they can’t be duplicated by adding a faint statuette watermarked pattern on the
exterior envelope which also gives “The Envelope” its distinctive look.

Inside “The Envelope” is a heavyweight ecru card with iridescent gold accents and a gold leaf-embossed Oscar statuette with the infamous phrase imprinted "And the Oscar goes to…"
Friedland doesn’t miss any detail as the names of the winners are printed using the same charcoal ink which are then mounted onto a matching, red-lacquered hand-wrapped frame. On the back of the card? You guessed it, it will have the award category imprinted as well.
Hey - wait a minute, doesn’t that mean that Marc and his team know who the winners are?
Good question, no, Friedman’s team create an announcement card with every nominee, in every category for that year’s Oscars. After the voting is closed, PricewaterhouseCoopers(PwC) partners Brian Cullinan and
Rick Rosas personally insert the winner's announcement cards then fasten the envelope with a red double-faced satin ribbon and red-lacquered and gold-embossed seal featuring the PwC logo. Making the envelope official. Once that’s completed, the other cards with the nominees who were not selected as winners are destroyed.

Factoid: Marc began creating this specially designed envelope and winners cards for the Oscars in 2011

Kansas students create art for Dream Rocket Project
The Associated Press
Art created by Kansas students will be among those wrapped around a 365-foot replica of the Saturn V rocket at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala.
A visiting assistant professor at Washburn University helped elementary students from Rossville and St. Mary create 550 pieces of artwork for the Dream Rocket Project.
A news release from the Topeka university says the Saturn V rocket will be wrapped with more than 8,000 pieces of art in 2014.
Beforehand, all submissions are being displayed in venues such as libraries, schools and museums. A show is planned at the Wamego Public Library in April.

By Stephen Waterhouse – Illustrator and Author.
Welcome to my first solo exhibition which shows some of my favourite artwork from the last 15 years.
When I was a boy I loved to draw and paint fun characters and landscapes and I still do now at 36 years old. At 6 years old I was inspired by Roald Dahl’s books and when I was 12 years old I saw Monet’s drawings, Van Gogh’s paintings and the Simpsons for the first time. That seems like an odd mix but they really inspired me to draw and paint even more. So much so, I painted the whole Simpsons family onto my younger sisters bedroom wall. Luckily she thought they were great!
After leaving school I went to Huddersfield College to do an Art and Design Foundation course for one year. From there I went on to Loughborough University to study Illustration for three years to learn to draw and paint properly, in my own way. Since graduating in 1998 I‘ve been lucky enough to be commissioned to create children’s books, posters, jigsaws and greetings cards.I also visit schools to talk about my work and to do character invention workshops, as well as teaching part-time at Loughborough University.
My latest work is for a book called ‘My Pop-Up World Atlas’. It’s funny because as I failed Geography at ‘A’ Level and this gave me a chance to learn about every continent and country in a very fun and colourful way!
The 35 pieces of artwork here show part of my journey over the last 15 years from 1996 as a student to my latest artwork for a book which came out this summer. This exhibition also shows my transition from painting with acrylics to working digitally on a computer. ‘London at Christmas Time’ (2002) was my very first digital Christmas card and after some experimentation my artwork has mostly all been painted digitally since then. I do however create all my rough drawings the old fashioned way, with a pencil! Some of which I have included here to show my process of development.
Thank you for coming to take a look around, I hope you enjoy the show!
Best Wishes
Stephen

"Created in 1766, by the Central School of the Department of the Channel for its practical courses, it was in 1799, that the first plantations make of this space a garden. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the camellias, rose bush, hydrangea, magnolias and La Malmaison were introduced into the garden. The first rhododendrons were imported from the island of Java. The garden becomes the place of inspiration for writers as talented as Guy de Maupassant, Victor Hugo or Paul Féval. It was at the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century that it became a veritable garden of plants: plantations of shrubs, lawns and flower beds. Later, in May 1944, the site was classified. Today, the garden of plants of Avranches is a true invitation to the discovery of the botanical heritage with its superb masses in mosaiculture, and its remarkable trees, among which a Giant Sequoia, a Cephalotaxus of Ireland, a tree "despair of the monkeys ", a ginko biloba or a cedar of the Himalayas. The visitor will also be able to discover one of the great treasures of this garden: a unique and enchanting view on the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel."
www.normandie-tourisme.fr/pcu/jardin-des-plantes/avranche...
"Avranches is a commune in the Manche department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. It is a subprefecture of the department. The inhabitants are called Avranchinais.
By the end of the Roman period, the settlement of Ingena, capital of the Abrincatui tribe, had taken the name of the tribe itself. This was the origin of the name Avranches. In 511 the town became the seat of a bishopric and subsequently of a major Romanesque cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew which was dismantled during the French revolutionary period. As the region of Brittany emerged from the Roman region of Armorica, Avranchin was briefly held by Alan I, King of Brittany as part of the Kingdom of Brittany at the turn of the 10th century. The regions that later became the Duchies of Normandy and Brittany each experienced devastating Viking raids, with Brittany occupied by Vikings from 907 to 937. In 933 Avranches and its territory, the Avranchin, were ceded to the Normans.
In 1172 (September 27–28) a council was held at Avranches in response to the murder of Anglo-Norman Saint Thomas Becket. Henry II, King of England, after due penance done at Avranches on 21 May 1172, was absolved from the censures incurred by the assassination of the holy prelate and reached the Compromise of Avranches with the Church, swearing fidelity to Pope Alexander III in the person of the papal legate.
The town was damaged in both the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion .Álvaro Vaz de Almada was made 1st Count of Avranches by King Henry VI of England on August 8, 1444.
A literal description of the town in the 19th century is recorded in Guy de Maupassant's novel Notre Cœur, when the main character Mariolle meets his lover and sets up for Mont Saint-Michel:
The houses crowning the heights gave to the place from a distance the appearance of a fortification. Seen close at hand, it was an ancient and pretty Norman city, with small dwellings of regular and almost similar appearance built closely adjoining one another, giving an aspect of ancient pride and modern comfort, a feudal yet peasant-like air.
The liberation of Avranches during World War II was led by General George S. Patton and began on 31 July 1944.
A museum houses the collection of manuscripts of Mont Saint-Michel, deposited in the municipal archives during the French Revolution. It is one of the largest collections of medieval illuminated manuscripts in France, outside national and university libraries.
Formerly dominated by the cathedral, where Henry II did penance, an open grassed area La Plate-Forme overlooking the bay towards Mont Saint-Michel displays only a few remnants of the destroyed building.
The major church Notre Dame des Champs was constructed in Gothic Revival style in the 19th century to restore the religious life of the town after the destruction of the cathedral.
The botanical gardens were founded in the grounds of the former Franciscan convent in the late 18th century. The expansion and introduction of exotic species in the 19th century and the location of the gardens overlooking the bay made the gardens an important sight in the town."

Creating this model became much easier, when I realised that Kawasaki Toshikazu have a much better way of pre-folding it.
I guess this is not an original work, but it was fun creating it just by playing with the paper, without any instructions..
This is my little art area that is in my downstairs hall way. There is a little built in desk that I have made my special creating space for sewing, painting, jewelry making etc. I was in the middle of a painting when I took this picture, so its a bit messy.

Title: The Melting Crayola Crayon
Theme: Imagination
Materials and techniques: The materials I used were fabric, paint, brushes, pencil. I used a regular technique that most people use for painting a simple swift of the hand and being careful and gentle and most of all having fun.
Did you enjoy this project? Yes, very much it was sooo fun because everybody was working together and enjoying to paint on fabric and paper. The project had a lot of teamwork and artists also having a piece of history. I wanted to be a part of this project because it is an experiencing art.
About: My artwork is about a Crayola rocket going into space and while it fly’s over the sun it starts to melt. I also thought of it by drawing first an ice cream cone rocket, and my friend thought it looked like a crayon. So I wanted to do a fun rocket like looked like a crayon.

Hello everyone! For this Thanksgiving tutorial (if you’re in the USA), I present you with the coffee based drink menu for The Roasterie, a cozy coffee shop located in Piccadilly Circus purveying bold flavors and carefully selected pastries to its patrons.
We’ll use some of the twenty font families included in the font geek’s go-to bundle to accomplish that. We’ll explore basic visual identity building, and how to use the many symbol/dingbats typefaces included in the collection to our advantage for layout building, and more!
So, pour yourself a warm cup of Arabica, and let’s do this.

Created in the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century by Melbourne stained glass manufacturer Ferguson and Urie, the Saint James the Major stained glass window may be found on the left hand side of the nave, in the eastern wall, when approaching the altar of Christ Church Brunswick.
Saint James the Major, or Saint James the Great is also known as James, son of Zebedee. He was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, and is thought to be the first apostle to be martyred. Like Saint Peter, two windows away, he holds an open book in his left hand. In his right hand he holds his pilgrim's staff, whilst on his head he wears his most commonly recognised piece of iconography, a pilgrim's hat with a wide brim upon which is found a cockle shell. These hats are also known as cockle hats.
This window was erected by James Grice, eldest son of pastoralist, businessman, philanthropist and churchman Richard Grice. Richard was born on October the 30th 1813 in Cumberland, England. The son of William Grice and his wife Sarah, née Parke. he was born into a family who ran a private family bank in Cumberland, built on generations of his family who had begun as farmers in the area before becoming successful businessmen in Cumberland. Richard attended Walker's School in Whitehaven, and gained farming experience on one of his family's properties. However, in his mid twenties, Richard felt that his future did not lie in England, so he set sail to Australia in 1839. He arrived at Adelaide in September 1839 with shepherds and a business partner named Benjamin Heape. They did not stay in Adelaide, and journeyed east to Melbourne where Richard and Benjamin set up an importing and exporting business. Richard decided to explore the idea of pastoral opportunities in the Western District where he successfully raised and bred sheep, going on to become one of the most successful pastoralists in Australia. He expanded his pastoral holdings into Queensland. In 1844 Richard married the daughter of James Hibberson, Anne Lavinia. In 1847 they did a Grand Tour of Europe and then settled in the affluent Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. They had twelve children. Benjamin returned to England in 1852, so Richard entered into a partnership with Mr. T. J. Sumner, who had worked as a clerk within the original firm. Mr. Sumner's eldest daughter married Richard's son James, and the firm became known as Grice, Sumner & Co. The business flourished and by the mid 1870s the firm held vast grazing properties in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. Richard died at his home in Fitzroy on November the 4th 1882, survived by his wife and by three sons and four daughters.
Christ Church, built almost on the corner of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street in Brunswick, is a picturesque slice of Italy in inner city Melbourne. With its elegant proportions, warm yellow stuccoed facade and stylish Romanesque campanile, the church would not look out of place sitting atop a rise in Tuscany, or being the centre of an old walled town. This idea is further enhanced when the single bell rings from the campanile, calling worshipers to prayer.
Christ Church has been constructed in a cruciform plan with a detached campanile. Although not originally intended as such, at its completion, the church became an excellent example of "Villa Rustica" architecture in Australia. Like other churches around the inner city during the boom and bust eras of the mid Nineteenth Century as Melbourne became an established city, the building was built in stages between 1857 and 1875 as money became available to extend and better what was already in existence. Christ Church was dedicated in 1857 when the nave, designed by architects Purchas and Swyer, was completed. The transepts, chancel and vestry were completed between 1863 and 1864 to the designs created by the architects' firm Smith and Watts. The Romanesque style campanile was also designed by Smith and Watts and it completed between 1870 and 1871. A third architect, Frederick Wyatt, was employed to design the apse which was completed in 1875.
Built in Italianate style with overture characteristics of classical Italian country house designs, Christ Church is one of the few examples of what has been coined "Villa Rustica" architecture in Victoria.
Slipping through the front door at the bottom of the campanile, the rich smell of incense from mass envelops visitors. As soon as the double doors which lead into the church proper close behind you, the church provides a quiet refuge from the busy intersection of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street outside, and it is quite easy to forget that cars and trams pass by just a few metres away. Walking up the aisle of the nave of Christ Church, light pours over the original wooden pews with their hand embroidered cushions through sets of luminescent stained glass windows by Melbourne manufacturers, Ferguson and Urie, Mathieson and Gibson and Brooks Robinson and Company. A set of fourteen windows from the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century by Ferguson and Urie depicting different saints are especially beautiful, filled with painted glass panes which are as vivid now as when they were created more than one hundred years ago. The floors are still the original dark, richly polished boards that generations of worshipers have walked over since they were first laid. The east transept houses the Lady Chapel, whilst the west transept is consumed by the magnificent 1972 Roger H. Pogson organ built of cedar with tin piping. This replaced the original 1889 Alfred Fuller organ. Beautifully executed carved rood figures watch over the chancel from high, perhaps admiring the marble altar.
Albert Purchas, born in 1825 in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales, was a prominent Nineteenth Century architect who achieved great success for himself in Melbourne. Born to parents Robert Whittlesey Purchas and Marianne Guyon, he migrated to Australia in 1851 to establish himself in the then quickly expanding city of Melbourne, where he set up a small architect's firm in Little Collins Street. He also offered surveying services. His first major building was constructing the mansion "Berkeley Hall" in St Kilda on Princes Street in 1854. The house still exists today. Two years after migrating, Albert designed the layout of the Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton. It was the first "garden cemetery" in Victoria, and his curvilinear design is still in existence, unaltered, today. In 1854, Albert married Eliza Anne Sawyer (1825 - 1869) in St Kilda. The couple had ten children over their marriage, including a son, Robert, who followed in his father's footsteps as an architect. Albert's brother-in-law, Charles Sawyer joined him in the partnership of Purchas and Sawyer, which existed from 1856 until 1862 in Queens Street. The firm produced more than 140 houses, churches, offices and cemetery buildings including: the nave and transepts of Christ Church St Kilda between 1854 and 1857, "Glenara Homestead"in Bulla in 1857, the Melbourne Savings Bank on the corner of Flinders Lane and Market Street (now demolished) between 1857 and 1858, the Geelong branch of the Bank of Australasia in Malop Street between 1859 and 1860, and Beck's Imperial Hotel in Castlemaine in 1861. When the firm broke up, Albert returned to Little Collins Street, and the best known building he designed during this period was St. George's Presbyterian Church in East St Kilda between 1877 and 1880. The church's tall polychomatic brick bell tower is still a local landmark, even in the times of high rise architecture and development, and St, George's itself is said to be one of his most striking church designs. Socially, Albert was vice president of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects for many years, before becoming president in 1887. He was also an inventor and philanthropist. Albert died in 1909 at his home in Kew, a wealthy widower and much loved father.
The stained glass firm of Ferguson and Urie was established by Scots James Ferguson (1818 – 1894), James Urie (1828 – 1890) and John Lamb Lyon (1836 – 1916). They were the first known makers of stained glass in Australia. Until the early 1860s, window glass in Melbourne had been clear or plain coloured, and nearly all was imported, but new churches and elaborate buildings created a demand for pictorial windows. The three Scotsmen set up Ferguson and Urie in 1862 and the business thrived until 1899, when it ceased operation, with only John Lamb Lyon left alive. Ferguson and Urie was the most successful Nineteenth Century Australian stained glass window making company. Among their earliest works were a Shakespeare window for the Haymarket Theatre in Bourke Street, a memorial window to Prince Albert in Holy Trinity, Kew, and a set of Apostles for the West Melbourne Presbyterian Church. Their palatial Gothic Revival office building stood at 283 Collins Street from 1875. Ironically, their last major commission, a window depicting “labour”, was installed in the old Melbourne Stock Exchange in Collins Street in 1893 on the eve of the bank crash. Their windows can be found throughout the older suburbs of Melbourne and across provincial Victoria.

Title: Mars, The Red Planet
Theme: Space
Materials and techniques: Fused fabric; fabric paint; tulle; machine stitching. The images of planet Earth, the Mariner spacecraft, and astronaut were cut from a cotton screen print panel, "Space: The New Frontier," produced by Benartex Fabrics (www.benartex.com)
About: The focal point of the panel is a red circle denoting the planet, Mars. It is criss-crossed by Martian canals; swirls of wind across the center; and polar ice caps. The upper left corner shows the planet Earth, the origin of exploration and colonization of Mars in the future. The upper right corner shows a Mariner spacecraft, emblematic of Mars planetary intelligence-gathering missions. The bottom of the panel features the varied landscape of the planet, while the astronaut in the lower left corner represents man's continued exploration of the New Frontier. The geodesic dome in the lower right corner shows potential "housing" for humans and plants/food sources on the Red Planet during future colonization. The dots of fabric paint represent distant stars.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxYouth@Hollywood, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYouth@Hollywood event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
What is TEDxYouth@Hollywood ?
TEDxYouth@Hollywood is a day-long conference for Southern Californian youth aged 14-19. The event features inspiring people with mind, heart and spirit-expanding stories and ideas to share.
The theme of our inaugural event is JUMPING; as in, jumping into something new, exciting, fearful or inspirational. We are interested in igniting the imaginations of youth and the concept of jumping just for the fun of jumping!
Our presenters are a mix of youth, young adults and established professionals in their fields which run the gamut from entertainment to non-profit, education and business. As our theme promises, we will present a few surprises as well.

We are creating an Art Float for Social Change at Tam Makers, to inspire more people to participate in democracy.
Our parade float features Mother Earth and a circle of hands, pulled by the colorful dragon Quetzy. Young activists will sing and speak about social change -- and artists will share their ideas on our spinning carousel. They want you all to vote, speak up and create a better world!
This community art project was created by over a hundred volunteers at Tam Makers, led by Fabrice Florin and Geo Monley, with the generous support of Good Earth, Mill Valley Community Action Network and Tamalpais High School.
The Art Float for Social Change will reach out to youth and people of color through art, music and technology. We will present this art show on Earth Day, Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades in Marin -- and throughout California this fall, to encourage people to vote in the next elections.
