Love this Rug…

I adore this serape rug from Urban Outfitters. It’s only $39, and, oh, so cute against the white-washed floors.
Falling for this Fabric….
January 23, 2012

This fabric from Pearson instantly caught my attention while flipping through this month’s Luxe magazine. I’m obsessed.
The script in printed on linen. It totally reminds me of some of the antique ephemera I use in my art…
“Hand blocked in India on 60 foot long tables this fabric is truly special and due to table size can only come in 20 yd pieces. All print is hand applied in wonderful neutral tones. Look closely and notice phrases, signatures and dates in both English and French.”
I’d love to upholster a set of simple wood-framed dining chairs with this fabric….or a headboard. Love.
A Few Photos from Back East…

Creative Pop! Happy New Year 2012.
January 3, 2012
I just got back from a lovely time on the East Coast. It was my first time spending any length of time in New England. I loved it. I will be uploading some photos very soon! A bunch of friends have commented on my lack of blogging. True story. I haven’t had as much time to write……though, I’m always inspired. I feel my creativity has been locked in a big balloon over the last couple of months, but the video below has finally popped the thin skin that has kept everything in. Creative juices are flowing…..Thanks Gotye (and my new Canon Rebel camera).
I Want This…
December 5, 2011

The other day I saw the entire line of Marie Turnor bags. They are sooooooo adorable. The “picnic” in tan is quite popular right now, but I really dig it in gold lace. I love the juxtaposition of the generic lunch bag shape and the intricate lace pattern of the gold leather.

The lunch bag shaped purse comes in three sizes: the snack, the picnic, and the dinner. Love.
Animal…..

Outside of the PDC on Melrose (where I’ve been spending a lot of time lately), there’s a collection of strange yet totally awesome sculptures. I took a photo of a few of them a few days ago. I researched the random pieces of public art and found out they were created by Miranda July.

July is a filmmaker, writer and artist. She might be most well-known from her film Me and You and Everyone We Know. Her new film, The Future , comes out later this year.
I love her “Eleven Heavy Things” project (the sculptures outside the PDC), as they were designed for interaction and photography. There are basically 11 witty photo opportunities. You should totally check out the front lawn of the PDC if you are in the area.
From July’s website:
“…Though the work begins as sculpture, it becomes a performance that is only complete when these tourist photos are uploaded onto personal blogs and sent in emails — at which point the audience changes, and the subject clearly becomes the participants, revealing themselves through the work.”
Production of this work has been supported by Deitch Projects
RAD.
72 Hours in Seattle
August 2, 2011

One of my best friends (in the entire world) just got married in Seattle. It was my first time there.
Here’s the city briefly through my eyes:
