I’ve decided I need a “year of art.” It’s been ages since I’ve played with paper, paints, and collage supplies. What better way to start than a visit to Ruby Dog’s Art House! This inspiring Vancouver store is like a treasure trove for collage and mixed media artists. Owner, Leanne, and her dog, Ruby, are always welcoming, and there is plenty of eye candy, unique ephemera, colourful bits and pieces, and sample artwork to get the creative juices flowing.
Some images from today’s visit:

Lovely! Some day I’ll be in Vancouver long enough for a visit!

Oooh… I’ve never been to that store. And I just happen to be having lunch on Fraser today…
(Fortunately, my complete lack of artistic talent doesn’t keep me from buying art supplies!)

There’s actually a whole little strip of interesting artsy stores (on 15th at the corner of Fraser and Kingsway). I think one of them offers art workshops for kids, too.
