What I've Been Up To....

A little sneak peek at what is to come soon! I've been working hard on this, but I don't want to give all of it away. I will be buying my domain name tomorrow and setting an official launch date. GET EXCITED, cuz I totally am!

buttons!!

i am going to be more diligent about updating this blog, i swears!

it seems that every time i sit down and try to think of a layout/design for my website i get sidetracked and end up doing something else. today was no exception, so i ended up drawing buttons:



i have a large button collection which i started when i was little. i collected buttons from old clothes, inherited buttons from my crafty grandma, and of course always bought buttons whenever i found particularly interesting ones in sewing shops. i always, always organized my buttons by color. the picture and the sketches are from my collection of white/off-white/mother of pearl buttons. it's so strange, that even now, i remember which buttons were my favorites when i was little.

in short: i still love buttons. i have a crazy idea of doing button "portraits," just a big ass painting of a single button. but uuh, back to that website, fo realz.

art school wars: i support it

and of course, c-list missed connections:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

i think this is totally awesome, hilarious, and amazing. thumbs up to tyler kids for doing this. and, as a moore alum, i expect a great response from my ladies.

three good things!

one:


this lovely print won last week in spoonflower's fabric of the week contest!! i get 15 minutes of fame, some free fabric, and YOU can buy a yard of my fabric right here!

thanks to all who voted for me, and if anyone reading this buys my fabric and makes something cool out of it, i'd love to see!

two:
finally had another interview this week!

three:
i was sick and out of commission last week, but now i'm all better, so hopefully i'll be getting more things done now.

dead flowers, alive ones soon

the philadelphia flower show is this week, so hopefully i will have photos and sketches of living flowers by the end of the week. this photo is also my first attempt at making an hdr photo, which i am suuuuper excited about trying out more.
