It is astounding how one's life can change so dramatically in the click of a share button!

It has been just over a year since that now-famous InsiderStyle video went viral. 

• 7 million views in the first 24 hours
• 22 million views in the first 7 days
• 50, 400, 451 views as of this writing.... and the count continues to climb

While for us this has meant a whole lot of exposure, and work, it also means something else. It illustrates the huge desire the world has for this art, and, more specifically, the amazing interactive art experience of water marbling with others.

This November marked the fourth year since the PopUp Marketplace a L.A. Live that launched our little water marbling business into the public eye.  Back then, we had 23 followers on Facebook (we now have over 44,000); yet even then, we knew we had something special. We knew others would want to share in the magical art experience of painting on water, but we did not foresee how it would grow into a worldwide phenomenon. 

We are so proud of where we've been, and so abundantly grateful for the redemptive encouragement we daily receive from friends and customers who share our love for this art and our passion for sharing it with others. It is such a thrill to see our dreams - and theirs - take wings.

December 10 marks the one year anniversary of the launch of our online course, which helped us connect with folks from all walks of life, in all parts of the world. It's mind-boggling to think that we have students in 15 countries on 6 continents!

I can't imagine anything more gratifying than waking up every morning with messages from folks around the world expressing their appreciation for our art and their eagerness to experience it for themselves. It is heartwarming to see how our students are tapping into that eager enthusiasm as they launch their own businesses and projects in their own communities. Their stories are just unfolding; I smile at the familiarity of that feeling of beginning something brand new.

When I stop to think about it, I know that we've found that magical, empowering place from which flows a never-ending sense of purpose, of renewal, and of hope.

I could not ask for anything better than this.

​“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.” 
― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden

Like a rose garden bursting with color in the warmth of a June morning, my heart is glowing with wonder and gratitude. Let me give you three reasons why:

1. Bricks and thorns hurt, but People are wonderful. 

After the theft of the van and it's contents, we were devastated. It was like life had thrown a huge brick at us. But, we didn't cower or run and hide, and we certainly didn't stop moving forward. With encouragement and support from friends, family, customers and colleagues - and even a few strangers - we were able to keep rolling through the first few weeks as we restocked and rebuilt. We borrowed painted scarves from one of our students to use as samples, as all of ours had been taken. We "made do" with a limited supply of paint which we had on hand at home; folks didn't complain when they had to share! One of our patrons made a generous pre-purchase of 20 scarves, just to help get that cash flow moving. With this outpouring of love, we just knew we couldn't let folks down! We were able to meet all of our obligations and didn't have to miss a single event!

2. Serendipity happens. So do superheros.

"In art we are once again able to do all the things we have forgotten; we are able to walk on water; we speak to the angels who call us; we move, unfettered, among the stars.

We write, we make music, we draw pictures, because we are listening for meaning, feeling for healing. And during the writing of the story or the painting or the composing or singing or playing, we are returned to that open creativity which was ours when we were children. We cannot be mature artists if we have lost the ability to believe which we had a children. An artist at work is in a condition of complete and total faith."
          - Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water

We are so grateful for the chance to share this amazing, magical life with you. 

-- Phil and Star

MISSING: 1997 Chevy Express Van, white, goes by "Sebastian." Stolen from in front of our house Tuesday morning, April 25. This was our work van - and because I'd been teaching a four-day class, it was packed full with the bulk of our equipment and supplies, including all of our tables, floor mats and paints and about 100 of our hand-painted silk scarves and accessories.

Many of those scarves were made by children in our outreach programs, and of course every design is one-of-a-kind. The bright colors and swirling designs were a daily reminder of the special uniqueness of each maker, and we are saddened to think that these beautiful creations are gone.  Similarly, we mourn the loss of five of our hand crafted wood trays and a bin full of hand made rakes and custom made marbling combs.

After rain canceled so many of our events this past winter, April was gearing up to be one of our best months ever, and now this.  

So, how do we respond to the unexpected storms that life drops on us?

“Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backward
after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha.”
― Robert Brault

First, instead of dwelling on what we DON'T have, we take stock of what we DO have.

1. Thankfully, we have enough supplies in stock - including trays, unmixed paints, blank silks and tools - to allow us to move forward with scheduled events, bringing the Mayu Silk Art Experience to our community without interruption. 
2. We have each other. Our shared dream, our belief in the intrinsic worth of this baby of ours, our confidence in our ability to overcome obstacles or find ways around them - these convictions are not swayed.
3. We have an abundance of loving and supportive friends and family. When it seems like we are flailing in the wind, it is good to have strong ties that keep us grounded.
4. We have our art. "Let the art lead you" is one of our mantras, and it has never rung so true.  This art - the very one that brought you to this page - is powerful and amazing in its' ability to bring people together, to create new memories, to bring joy, and to heal.
5. We have you. Our community at large. The people who have seen for themselves the magic that makes The Mayu Silk Art Experience so remarkable, and who are excited to be part of it.

 
So, while Phil scrambled to replace necessary (and sometimes expensive) equipment and supplies, Star took to social media to rally the troops, setting up a GoFundMe account to replace the biggest loss:  our beloved workhorse van, Sebastian.   Without wheels, we simply cannot continue. 

With events already on the books for a trip to Arizona to make scarves with families at the Children's Cancer Network, and a big scarf-making event at Hoag Family Cancer Institute, and an event with the Eddie Nash Foundation for Foster Youth, we don't want to be sidelined by the lack of reliable transportation. 

We need $6000 to cover the gap in insurance and put us in a safe, reliable vehicle.

We're hoping our network of support will come together in this time of need to help us get back on the road. Come ride with us, won't you?!

If you prefer to make a direct donation, please call Star at (949)424-3458 or mail your check made payable to Mayu Silk Art, 501 E. Katella Ave #16C ,  Orange CA 92867.  Please write "Van campaign" on the memo line. 

"It only costs a dollar to watch."
- Phil Greenwood

Our delightful English guy, Phil, is both the head and the funny bone of our burgeoning business, and has delighted crowds with his clever anecdotes and devil-may-care charm. As many of you know, Phil has been dealing with some health issues affecting his voice, which is now down to a whisper. The outpouring of genuine concern and encouragement have been a great help to him as he works toward healing.

Thank you to all who have sent their well-wishes.
We hope Phil will be back to his old talkative self soon!

The beautiful patio of The Castaway in Burbank, CA, was the perfect setting for an evening luau for the cast and crew of the hit TV show, NCIS. The party really picked up as the sun set in the west, and the tiki torches were lit, while colorful paper lanterns swung gently in the breeze above the crowd under a starlit sky. With all 10 of our artisans and 10 marbling trays going full bore, we were still able to enjoy the music and get a glimpse of hula dancing happening on the stage directly next to us. It was truly a night to remember!

Out of respect for our hosts and their guests, we did not do much picture-taking, so we don't have any celebrity photos to share. Suffice to say, it was AWESOME. 

Our deepest thanks to the event coordinator, Erica McIntosh, for inviting us to be part of this truly stellar event.  

​A hui hou kākou, everyone!

Although perhaps his lifestyle was not entirely exemplary. Picasso had some good things to say about life. 

Action is the foundational key to all success.
The purpose of art is the washing of dust of daily life off our souls.
It takes a long time to become young.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
Good artists copy, great artists steal.
The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Everything you can imagine is real.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.
You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.
​

With our biggest-ever event happening later today, I apologize for "cheating" by using quotations instead of original thought, but hey, isn't Picasso cool?

Check back here in a few days for updates on all of the fantastic things going on at Mayu Silk Art!  Prepare to be amazed.

A talented photojournalist named Arianna Grainey visited the Mayu Silk Art booth at the Huntington Beach Pier back in 2015, and fell in love with the beautiful art of water marbling. Also in 2015, a lady named Sharon Wozny brought her family to the same booth at the pier, and made scarves with us. Working beside Sharon as she worked on her scarf, Star McCain (co-founder of Mayu Silk Art) learned about Sharon's involvement with an organization called The Children's Cancer Network (CCN),located in Chandler, AZ.  

In these two random visits, a shared dream was born.

Two ladies from Arizona who didn't know each other visited our booth in California on two different days, and the seeds which were planted then were brought to the harvest on March 16, 2016, when The Mayu Silk Art team arrived at CCN for a wonderful day of scarf-making fun with children and families dealing with childhood cancer.

Sharon was not able to be there on that day, but she was the spark that lit the flame. Arianna picked up the torch when she covered the story in a local paper called the Queen Creek/San Tan Valley Independent. As far as we know, this is the first time any journalist has done a story about us.  After this uplifting, artful experience, our hearts are warm with the thought of how this magical Mayu Silk Art Experience is able to bring people together.

Believe it or not, it's a toss up for_ us right now.  I mean, how do you decide between Paul Audley (the President of Film L.A.  a  great-hearted leader who brought us back for another full day of scarf-making with 60 very appreciated employees) and the senior partners of Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo (a law firm that brought us to the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Long Beach, CA, for an afternoon of fun as a special Spouses Event during their annual company conference)?  

Love your employees, and they'll love you. Love their families, and they'll REALLY love you. Right?  

Anyhow, we love them all, from the new part-time intern at Film L.A. who was so surprised to be treated to the opportunity to design and create her own water marbled silk scarf while still on the clock, to the gentle giant husband of an AALRR employee who was so fascinated by this art form that he pestered us with questions, took tons of photos, and jumped into making his red, white and blue design with great gusto.

In the end, the real award didn't go to the bosses at all, but to the wonderful folks who they treated. So, here's to the bosses who live by the Golden Rule, and who understand the value of the Gel-Git: that back-and-forth, give-and-take generosity of spirit that makes life an art.

Does Valentine's Day always look the same for you, a faux holiday comprised of doilies and cheesy sentimental greeting cards, stiff bouquets and chocolate hearts, and another bottle of cologne? This year, scrap the mundane and indulge in the unique, timeless art of water marbling.  Give the gift of the Mayu Silk Art Experience!

1. Awesome Date for 2  Bring your loved one to our booth at the Huntington Pier to make a one-of-a-kind Valentine they'll never forget - their own hand painted design on luxurious 100% silk.   Surf City U.S.A., with it's picturesque pier, sexy beach views, and the many shops and restaurants on Main Street are renowned as a romantic destination. Even sweeter is the fact that it's a 4-day weekend. We'll be spreading the love all weekend, Feb. 12-15.  
Visit our Events Page

2.  Hallmark can't touch this!!  Already made reservations for another Valentine's Day brunch? No worries. You can still spice up the day with a Mayu Silk Art Gift Certificate, redeemable at our booth, in our online store, or toward the cost of one of our super-fun workshops.  If you need something more tangible, custom order an artisan scarf in our store.

3.   Be SPECTACULAR this year!!  Make a really BIG splash by surprising your sweetheart with the gift of a private Mayu Silk Art Party for his/her friends and family.  We can't think of a more unique way to say, "I love you."

We are honored to have our artisan scarves featured at the museum store at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA.  The Huntington Store offers thousands of luxurious, whimsical, and unique gifts to delight shoppers in a vaulted sky-lit space with eight thematic rooms. Each month the store features a specially curated selection of seasonal gifts and books, apparel, toys, and home decor relating to The Huntington’s library, art, and botanical collections.  They love our scarves in traditional water marbled designs which evoke the beauty of the antique water marbled end papers (and sometimes covers) of many of the rare books on display in the Library Collections.

Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution that provides pediatric health care to more than 107,000 children each year in a setting designed just for their needs. 

We are honored to have been invited to share the beautiful Mayu Silk Art Experience with the patients and families at CHLA through their Mark Taper and Johnny Mercer Artists Program.  
If you have ever experienced the wonder of water-marbling, you can imagine the joy this beautiful, uplifting art form will bring to to these youngsters who have been burdened with so much!

This endeavor will require a coming-together of supporters and volunteers.  We are currently working on putting together a crowd-funding campaign, to help us get this effort off the ground. To launch a successful campaign, we need to create a promotional video and print materials, and prepare ourselves for the fulfillment of thank you rewards. Stay turned for more on that after the beginning of the new year... 

In the meantime...
​
To better understand how, through art and music, the Artists Program works to heal the whole child, please consider this excerpt from the CHLA website:

• "At Children's Hospital Los Angeles, bandages, medicines and compassionate clinicians are not the only things relied upon for patients to heal. At the Mark Taper and Johnny Mercer Artists Program, we also use paint, clay, musical instruments and poems to heal the whole child. To do this, we rely on art, dance, drama, music and expressive arts therapies.
• By serving the whole child, instead of just their symptoms of illness or injury, we help our patients achieve better health outcomes. Through art and music, we help them alleviate anxiety, provide psychological support and offer creative outlets for self-expression.
• Unlike the traditional art and recreation programs found in many hospitals, our artists program is an innovative model that brings together local artists, performers, and teachers with registered and certified Expressive Arts Therapists to meet the diverse needs of our patient population. This multidisciplinary approach offers our patients something beyond diversionary arts and crafts projects. All the while, young participants in the program are nurturing a life-long appreciation for the arts."

​Children's Hospital LA is not reimbursed by insurance payers, therefore their program is 100 percent philanthropically funded. By helping to support Mayu Silk Art in our effort to introduce the healing power of the art of water marbling to young patients coping with illness and injury, you will help provide avenues of expression, choice, and control to children experiencing emotional pain and challenges.

In this season of change, I am grateful for the ways we have been touched, healed, and transformed by this fascinating and magical art of water marbling.  It has changed the way I see the world. Although I have always felt an affinity with nature, I now see patterns and designs and colors I never noticed before, that bring to mind the swirls and twirls of paint on water. In fact, I often find myself transfixed as I watch an artist creating their one-of-a-kind design, lost in the beauty they are creating before my eyes. It is the same feeling I get when confronted with the glory of a sunset over the Pacific, or the soft curve of a baby's cheek, or the deep browns, greens, oranges and reds, yellows and grays of a lush forest floor in autumn. This breathtaking feeling is, in a word, AWE. 

We want to know what inspires you, and hope that you will share your comments below. As a thank you, we're sharing a free coloring sheet taken from a photo of one of our scarves. It is the Bouquet design, and we hope you'll enjoy it!

Before you post your comment below, I invite you to consider the definition of the word, "Inspiration."

Pronunciation: /ɪnspɪˈreɪʃ(ə)n/ Definition of inspiration in English:noun1[MASS NOUN] The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative:Helen had one of her flashes of inspirationthe Malvern Hills have provided inspiration for many artists
MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCESSYNONYMS
1.1The quality of being inspired:a rare moment of inspiration in an otherwise dull display
MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCES
1.2[COUNT NOUN] A person or thing that inspires:he is an inspiration to everyone
MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCESSYNONYMS
1.3Divine influence, especially that supposed to have led to the writing of the Bible.
EXAMPLE SENTENCES
2A sudden brilliant or timely idea:then I had an inspiration
MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCESSYNONYMS
3[MASS NOUN] The drawing in of breath; inhalation:crackling sounds are heard in the stethoscope on inspiration

It is that last definition that caught my attention. It is the one most closely aligned with the word's origin: OriginMiddle English enspire, from Old French inspirer, from Latin inspirare 'breathe or blow into' fromin- 'into' + spirare 'breathe'. The word was originally used of a divine or supernatural being, in the sense 'impart a truth or idea to someone'.

The original form of water marbling, Suminigashi, involves the use of wind, -either the breath from the mouth or by waving a fan - across the surface of the water to create flowing designs. In the Mayu Silk Art booth at the Huntington Beach Pier, we often find that the ocean breeze will play with our carefully combed or drawn designs, altering them in ways that usually produce delight on the part of the artist. 
It is, I guess, the way that nature - or perhaps something more Divine - inspires our art to become something greater, more mysterious, more wonderful.

So, now to the question. What inspires you?!

Jane LaFazio was a guest at a Mayu Silk Art Experience party at her friend's home in San Diego, CA this past summer.  We enjoyed meeting Jane and all of the ladies, many of whom are artists of one kind or another.  Everyone had a great time making scarves on the patio, in spite of the summer heat, and Jane (who we later found out is quite well-known as an artist and teacher) wrote about the experience on her blog. Jane shared some great pictures with captions highlighting the process. You can view Jane's blog by clicking HERE  

We posted a link to the blog entry here on this page, and on our Facebook page, but I wanted to give an update and a bigger show of our appreciation for Jane's contribution. You see, after Jane's blog was posted, we received numerous inquiries and Facebook "likes" from her readers in many parts of the country. As a result of her story, we booked several Mayu Silk Art parties and workshops in California and Arizona, and plans are in the works for us to travel to Chicago, Minneapolis, and possibly Texas!

Needless to say, we think Jane is the best thing since Acrylic paint, and we are very grateful for her artistic friendship and her beautiful spirit. She is truly extraordinary!  Please do take time to read her blog post, and take a look at her website at http://janelafazio.com

Glennwood House Scarf Making Day13 September · 
On September 13th, our team had the opportunity to make scarves with 25 of the residents at Glennwood House, an amazing home for independent adults with special needs. See the photos in the slide show below. The scarves - which as you can see came out great - will be auctioned off at the upcoming gala event benefitting Glennwood. Funding for this activity was made possible by the incomparable Danielle Wilson of Sotheby's International Realty, who is a fantastic lady with a big heart and a great laugh. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her dedication and support.

Glennwood House of Laguna Beach is a GORGEOUS 42 room facility that also has a Dining Hall, gym, Sensory Garden, media room, Art Studio and Game area for residents to enjoy. The facility opened in the Summer of 2013 and is geographically close to wonderful Laguna restaurants, down town shopping, walking distance to beach access, the park and recreation sites! 

In chatting with the residents, we learned that they come from all over California, and all of them seemed thrilled to call Glennwood their home. We very much look forward to spending more time with this group in the future, 

For more info about Glennwood House, go to http://glennwoodhousing.org/the-glennwood-house/ or visit their FB page at https://www.facebook.com/GlennwoodHouseOfLagunaBeach?fref=ts

Perhaps you have felt it - that magical, serendipitous sense that draws us into the art of painting on water, and that wondrous moment when we see our design jump to the silk, to be saved forever. We leave with not only a silk scarf, but a memory of joy and a feeling of accomplishment. 

This Mayu Silk Art Experience connects our team with people in a unique way, because as people come into our little corner of the world and hear our stories and dabble in the very cool art of water marbling, they also invite us into their hearts, homes and businesses.  They have an emotional connection to our brand because of their experiences with it, so our actions as a company must live up to the stories we tell and the art that we share. We know what it is to struggle, to feel pain or fear, or to just have a rotten day. But we cannot always know what someone else may be dealing with on the day that our paths cross. That is why we take seriously our obligation to make sure that everyone receives the same one-to-one attention as they ask questions and work their designs. Likewise, we have ourselves been touched by this art and by the caring attention of others, and we know the importance of paying it forward. 

As Phil and I look to the end of our first year in business, and the beginning of the next, we are perched on the edge of what we believe is the next big step for Mayu Silk Art - a partnership with corporations and individuals who want to bring this experience to others through what we are affectionately calling the "Gel-git Initiative."*

This collaborative effort of donors, volunteers, and corporate and non-profit agencies will enable us to bring the art of water marbling to Children's Hospitals, cancer patients, victims of trauma and abuse, and others with a special need for TLC. Please call us at (949)424-3458 if you would like to be a part of this grass roots initiative.
 
At Mayu Silk Art, we believe that our commitment to community must extend beyond the joyous environs of our paint boxes, marbling trays and rinse buckets to the world in which we all live. It is a beautiful world, with an abundant need for care and compassion, love, hope and healing.  This shared Mayu Silk Art Experience is an opportunity for all of us to connect with and inspire others.  The example we set as a company of just a few is nothing compared to the impact we can have when we inspire the many others who cross our path every day to take action themselves, and to make a difference.

We are grateful to all who have cheered us on, waited patiently for their turn to make a scarf, run out to get us a cup of coffee on a busy cold day, shared their photos with us, and in so many other ways helped to support this venture called Mayu Silk Art.

​It is our daily hope that the world tomorrow will be a different, better one, because we were here today. 

- Star
