Many, many projects happening here... I'll have some glimpses up soon!
Until then, a piece from the vault!
This is my first stitched editorial illustration.

Erzgebirge!

Currently obsessing over these amazing little wooden German guys. Some of them come apart so you can burn incense in their bellies- only to have it puff out of their mouths!
Almost went bidding after the mothergoose pull toy.

can't stop, won't stop



I've been on such a crafting kick! Three quick pillows. I've been wanting to do something good with the red and blue 'barnicle' fabric for ages! I wish I could find more of it...
Expect to see more semi-useless round pillows in the near future!

Here's Evah's awesome (and very compliant) cat, Jala, wearing a scarf I made! (Evah had only asked for a scarf for herself, but there was some extra yarn...)

also: lemon pine nut shortbread

Craftnight II is tonight! Woo! If we ever take a decent picture maybe I'll post more about it!

inspiration


I think I may need an Atari Video/Music to assist me in creating woven patterns. (Besides I've always wanted one having seen it in action on Devo music videos back in middleschool.)




Primarily Swedish and Navajo weavings. apart from the printed fabric and the commercial ikat at the bottom.

(in bad blogger form, I can't remember where I found these images)

I want it so bad my future phantom fingers are aching!

Shary Boyle


Italo Calvino inspired?
I had seen Shary Boyle's work in Kramers Ergot some years ago, and it's stuck with me since. As luck would have it, I happened across it again. Only now, rather than finding more beautifully mottled watercolors, I found porcelain! What a fun body of work!
