Anima Mundi Featuring Handmade Jewelry by AnnaMarie Sabo for November's ArtWalk

Ballard's eclectic pop-up shop, the Anima Mundi store and gallery, will feature handmade jewelry designed by Seattle's own Annamarie Sabo. Many longtime Ballard residents will remember Annamarie from her days at Mercado, located in the Sunset Hotel prior to the devastating fire there that took both her home and her business.

Vine Maple Necklace

Ever resilient, Annamarie rose above her losses and became an accomplished silversmith who now sells and shows her work internationally. Anima Mundi is currently the only retail location for her in Seattle.

Turks and Caicos Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver

Telluride Bronze Cuff with Fire Citrine

As a special gift to Ballard residents, all Sabo Designs jewelry is offered at 20% off now through December!

Premiering at Annie's Art & Frame, Stop Motion Animation and Illustrations by Mari Ichimasu, with Musical Guests, Rats in the Grass

 

 

The premiere of LITTLE OZE - a stop motion animation by Mari Ichimasu.

  

LITTLE OZE short animation #1

Title:
“KUROMATSU MISO”
 
puppet animation
commercial style

duration: 2min

finished date: 10/26 2012
in public since 11/10 2012  

summary:

On a rainy day a mouse living alone suddenly recalls her far away home, listening to the sound of rain dripping hard on the roof.  She decides to cook miso soup to comfort herself, reminding her of the taste of home. The process of making the soup brings her home back to life inside her heart.

Komari is a Seattle based artist born in Tokyo Japan.  Attending art schools in Seattle, Tokyo, and Osaka, her main focuses are stop motion animation and illustration.  Working with a DIY mentality, Mari plays writer, director, builder, and animator when making videos.  Her illustrations are filled with majestically adorable furry creatures and expansive beautifully cold landscapes. Mari’s imagination is deeper than the darkest watercolor in her palate.  Following the traditions of eastern European masters of animation, Mari builds every puppet and set piece by hand and paints her own backgrounds making every frame shot a one of a kind original.

“I have been traveling the world in my imagination called Little Oze.  Anything I see, meet, listen to or feel on this endless trip, I visualize in my projects like writing in a memo pad or journal. There are some interesting views and stories that I can’t help but document. Concepts often come from very small ordinary scenes in daily life that are often taken for granted.  My mission is to be the voice and deliver the beauty of everything with a small and quiet existence.”

BalMar Presents Cameron Nagashima's 'Quiet Observations'; Photography for November

Local photographer Cameron Nagashima is a Cornish alum with a background in
Seattle’s underground art and music scenes.  He was drawn to photography at an early
age, huddling under the stairs in his grandparents’ home with boxes of slides and a
viewer.  The idea of a “visual family history” captivated him, and carries into his work today, though that family has grown considerably.

I Black Steps

‘Quiet Observations’ documents the still and silent drama that is urban Seattle. Our city as multilayered abstraction, where nature and concrete, wild life and human life, merge. Nagashima captures these moments with an eye for unique compositions which demand reflection.
