Duh, I’ve always been eco conscious
Posted in just plain ranting on May 9, 2008 | No Comments »
In California, being green is just a part of life. I grew up recycling and reusing items without a second thought to it. When I graduated from college, I worked several years at a solar energy non-profit and then at a carpooling non-profit. I’ve always seen myself as eco-conscious and socially conscious.
Now, the rest of [...]
High sense, no cents

What I have realized over the last couple of weeks from being at a craft fair and a trade show is that Americans think they want American made, socially conscious clothing but aren’t willing to pay for it. High quality handmade stuff is consistently turned down for the Made in China cheap alternative. It all [...]
Shame on you Gossip Girl
Posted in Queens Stuff, just plain ranting on April 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Every week I volunteer at an art gallery on Vernon Blvd in LIC on Thursdays and Fridays. I love the neighborhood, it’s still a very tight knit community with the old-school locals and the new artist residents. It’s still keeping that feeling despite the million dollar condos going up all around. Across the street from [...]
Are you ready boots? Start walkin’!

One, well three, of the many items that came back with me from Nashville were three pairs of cowboy boots. I was seduced by boots again which happens quite often as Adam can attest. Poor guy. He had to have a sit-down with me to talk about my boot habit this weekend. It could be [...]

Seriously. Nashville rocks. And Hatch Show Print abso-f#*&ken-lutely rules!
My absolutely favorite time of the weekend was spent at Hatch. We had a great time and I am so inspired. It was everything I dreamed it to be. We met up with the head designer and manager Jim Sherraden and he showed us around. Freakin’ [...]
My brain is still full…

and there’s nothing I can do about it. I haven’t been able to post as many rantings as I’ve wanted to because I have had to censor myself on a couple of taboo topics. Sigh. There are a few things I’ve been wanting to discuss but, alas, certain doors will close if I discuss them. [...]
Blockprinting vs. Screenprinting
Posted in art stuff, just plain ranting on April 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Printmaking is defined as the process of reproducing images on a flat surface; three types are relief block (linoleum, wood), intaglio (etching, engraving), and stencil (silkscreen). I don’t like to compare the types of printmaking to each other because they are all great in their own way. And depending on what look you want, one [...]
My brain is full.

I haven’t been posting much over the last week or so, and I can tell how clogged my mind has gotten. There’s backup in the pipes. Adam loves it when I write in my blog alot because when he comes home from work, I don’t attack him with head diarrhea. But last night, I was [...]
Dynamic Duo

On Saturday night, we hung out with our close friends Ellen and David. They recently got married a few months ago and they are perfect for each other. They are a fantastic couple, both super duper talented, and smart. Really, a dynamic duo.
Ellen is one of the most prolific people I know. She’s excellent at [...]
