California printmakers

I've been thinking about prints lately, which has brought me back around to my favorite artists. Tom Killion's woodcut prints are amazing. His California coast series is my favorite. You might recognize Patricia Curtan's prints from the Chez Panisse cookbooks....

Just back from yet another trip for a meeting. The summer traveling scarf is about 1.5 feet now. After still another trip next week, maybe I'll finish it off. I think it's funny that my 9th or 10th knitting project...

more oilcloth

I saw another cute idea for oilcloth at Starbucks, of all places. It was a thermos with a pretty, flowery oilcloth sleeve around it. I wish I could find a picture of it....

felted flowers and scarves

The felt flowers and scarves at supermaggie are just too cool. I am being optimistic and filing this post under "to imitate," but I really wouldn't know how. Unfortunately, her site won't let me steal graphics, so I can't put...

rubber band board

I've seen this idea twice now, in the Pottery Barn Teen catalog and at the MOMAQNS gift shop: bulletin boards made out of a piece of metal or plastic with big rubber bands stretched over it. The MOMA one had...

Notebooks

Yet more incentive to get a Gocco, or follow the DIY silkscreening instructions in Ready Made this month: notebooks with silkscreened covers at Sukie. Some of them have glassine envelopes and pages of different sizes in them. They have a...

little felt things

I'm looking through archives today. Loobylu has some awful cute felt dolls that I might just have to copy. The ones at Orange Mushroom are also very cute (harder, though). Not to mention Scary Stories, Shawnimals, Goblinko, Spasmodica, and these...
