Recording from this article.

Doesn’t it sound like bees?

Thinking about family and old recordings makes me think of Elsa Mora’s beautiful blank book project.

I think this book of generational magic could make an amazing animated film.

I am working on some hang-tags.

I really want to see Martin Ontiveros’s show.

L. climbed onto our bed during the wee hours of the night and put this little ceramic owl, from my dresser, into my hand, and asked me to take care of it. In the morning my hand was still holding the owl; I then knew it wasn’t a dream.

Jean Valentine’s new book of poetry, Little Boat.
Here, I like to listen to Jean Valentine read her poems.

Here is my pillow prototype of Horace. I’m still tweaking the colors, but basically here he is in all his glory. He is silkscreened with earth-friendly inks on organic cotton stuffed with wool. I’m hoping to have the final ones completed and ready to sell before the holidays.

I finally got a chance to see Lisa Solomon’s solo show at the LittleBird Gallery last weekend. Gorgeous show. I especially liked the brilliant doily trees, because they made me think of real fir tree boughs making those lovely doily spirals.

Camilla Engman’s calendar is elegant in its conception and execution. It is the most appealing calendar that I have ever hung on my wall and the new year has not even started, yet.

Finally, Gracia and Louise have created such lovely online store, that I wish there was some kind of non-virtual department store that looked and felt this way.

Does anyone know of a great place that makes really nice fabric labels?
