dandelions

tampopo

I came across this installation recently that sent me over the edge with joy and absolute “coolness”.  Tampopo means Dandelion in Japanese.  As we all know, blowing a seeded dandelion requires making a wish first before spewing your air onto them.  Its universal this folklore…its really  nice.  Now, I know the majority of people who [...]

I hate people

don

Someone over the weekend came in our studio and stole my camera and one of our printers. Whoever the person is can go eat a big pile of poo! I’m not happy.
So if you are thinking of stealing something…
DON’T.
If it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
Have a pleasant day. I know I am.

muji

Have you ever been to Muji? I have not personally been there but have drooled over products my friends have brought back from Muji while in Europe.

Tulips!

The saga continues in so many homes and minds regarding the short lived happy tulip.No flower lives for long, including tulips. Thats the beauty of it.  Tulips droop – thats what they do because the head gets heavy with water.  Tulips, when put in warm water, perk straight up and grow, thats what they do.  If [...]

Beauty is in season.

dogwood

One of my favorite things ever is in season. DOGWOOD! This dogwood was so pretty this morning I just had to take a picture.

Sand Art

sand art

A friend sent me this clip. It’s a little sappy, but it completely amazes me that someone can create artwork out of sand. And that it’s an evolution from one image to the next. I tend to think in a still frame manner, I love when people think and create in a different method than [...]
