This week I am going to show off some work from a local jeweler, Islay Taylor. I happened to catch a glimpse of her work from the front page of object fetish as soon as I logged on. A design made of bicycle tubes caught my eye, then I realized I knew the artist’s name […]

4 November 2010

I was introduced to thimblewinder by a lovely, local crafty lady. She was sporting one of these fantastic pins. Well, OK pins I suppose. {I love the idea of celebrating OK!} After becoming smitten with this pin I realized there was much more to threadwinder’s repartee. She is the maker of illustrated prints and zines […]

Another Saturday brought another late night baking. We are going to see my niece and nephews tomorrow and I didn’t want to go empty handed so I scrolled through some Martha Stewart recipes and decided on whoopie pies.

lovely and local : zoetropa

28 October 2010

Welcome to my newest series of posts, lovely and local. This week’s feature is on Zoetropa, a printmaking enthusiast from Boston, Massachusetts.

Faint whispers of line look like brush strokes giving […]

Travel Tuesdays: The British Museum

28 October 2010

I missed so much on my travels to Europe. Jet lag mixed with a no show tour guide made for a poor showing of London. We made it to The British Museum and literally sprinted through before they closed. Having a new camera we weren’t familiar with didn’t help with all of the rushing. Most […]
