THE DISTRICT ART SHOW

The Hong Kong China District, which includes the English speaking branches, held a fun Art Show.  Everybody was encouraged to add something to the displays.  Each of our branches did an activity at Relief Society.  I was amazed at the creativity of our Filipina Sisters who seem to be able to make beautiful things out of practically nothing.

This curtain which goes across a door is made by small beads made of squares of paper cut from magazines.  I wish I had a better picture as they look like they are made of stone.


We had a painting class in Wednesday family, where each of us painted something.  We were assured by our sister who was teaching that anything we created was beautiful.  We were all proud of what we did.
 




In another family we learned how to make cool things out of folded paper.


 Look at these creations made of paper twirled around pencils.  I wish I could find my pictures of the flower arrangements made of straws.


Part of the evening was a Living Art Exhibit.  Each branch picked a painting and portrayed it.

 



Our Branch, Victoria II, did the Pearly Shells Hula they had done at the RS Birthday Party.


This is part of the audience.
 
 
 The District Relief Society fixed a lovely lunch for us.
 

The next day at District Conference our Saturday Family Choir provided the music.  I was so proud of them.  I helped them practice by playing for them, but someone else accompanied them for the performance.  This picture is of us celebrating their success afterward.
