The Greatest Mail Day Ever

Friday, I received this amazing bracelet in the mail from my second favourite Mom in the whole world, Maddonart. 

I had heard rumours of these fabulous bracelets but I only dreamt of having one of my own.  There are unique handmade images on each tile but these are some of my faves.  The harp is my favourite instrument and even though I have never played one, it's on the list.  A butterfly has always signified change, freedom and escapism and, of course, I love nudity (as do some of my neighbours).

On my wrist, this bracelet is more distracting than my Blackberry.  Unfortunate for the old guy who was crossing the road while I was driving home from the post office.  No worries, he just had to move a little faster than he has in thirty years and maybe next time he won't treat those white lines on the road like something he's entitled to.

Thanks for the great bracelet!  I love it!

Creativity.... Own It

To all my crafty, artsy friends out there:

Look, I can do it, too.

I know, this isn't me but, I was there and helping.  So, now I am qualified to give this tutorial on How to Silk Screen a T-Shirt.

1. After someone else (Taryn, for example) has made a funky design and made it into a thing in a wooden frame to push paint through (probably called a silk screen, not sure) and has mixed the paint that she brought home from school and has washed and dried the t-shirts and has laid them out and has put paint on the screen and has the squeegee in position....  pull the squeegee to the other side of the box.
2. Yay, Me!

This is what I made.

Taryn can be commissioned to make something special for you, too.  We are currently in negotiations with Dr. Seus so, move quickly, before the demand drives up her prices.

Seriously, I do love her art.  These pieces are like a fleeting glance into the rapidly fading childlike thoughts that a sixteen year old tries so hard to hide.
