I have been absent! I realize. I have been so busy. Which is both a good and bad thing. :)I have rented a little space to do some clay work. But this studio is very limited. Not having the use of earthenware. They only have stoneware. Very limited glazes as well....So I will resume working at the other studio beginning april. They have all sorts of glazes and majolica. Which is my fav.Well, the

hey hey!I made brownies this weekend because I was feeling choco crazy! Of course I freeze them right away for fear of waking up in the middle of the night like a zombie and eating the whole batch...Oh and I have come to the realization that somewhere deep down in my brain I associate baking with working with clay. I went to the studio this weekend so my desire for baking was lessened. :P

I found this amazing hand stiched patchwork quilt at the flea market last week. The most incredible quilt ever! Being such a textile freak the patterns blew me away. I love the colors red and green all year round and this has got to be the score of the year!the lady gave it to me for only 15 dollars! *faint*!5 dollars for anything in nyc is unheard of. the flea markets and thrift stores are so

one of my most favorite things to do is ride the train. I have been lucky enough to have a sleeper car for a few days when I used to travel to MN. Or washington DC. I love the cars with the view. I love the hum of the engine. I love everything about it. Here are some photos of a recent trip I took.And oh! I will be starting another studio class that gives me access to fire my sculpture.

i cant figure out why everything is underlined...Anyway, I went to the old book store and found some amazing books. They are very old and the covers are devine. is it so wrong of me to buy the book mainly based on the covers. Am I one of those people? seems so. They just dont make books like these anymore. click the photos to see them bigger.i also having been looking for some inspiring textiles

yesterday I bought one of those tiny tiny toy digital cameras. The quality is shot, but it is interesting though. It is about two by three inch camera. TINY. I am still trying to figure it out.I call it my spy camera because it is so small.

SoI have been lusting after these boots at freepeople.com. And they are retailing at $388.00!!Crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Crazy because :#1 who will pay that kind of money when they are selling VINTAGE boots.okay okay the studs are put on by hand. But the shoes are USED. Which adds to their charm.But I saw these and thought...I can totally make these.So I found some vintage boots for 5 DOLLARS. And

I woke up at what seemed like the crack of dawn to go to class. But once class was over I went over to 23rd street. I passed this park that had all these amazing tree houses. And the ground was covered in sand. I might go over there tommorow. Being that all the thrift stores are over there.day five of six day project. one more day!!!

And they had everything 75% off!*faints**heart beating fast*Holy smokes I really cannot believe Free People can get away with selling a sweater for $150.00.Or a simple top for $125.oo.

I enjoy the peaks and levels of the roof.I then went to the library in midtown.I then saw this interesting bench outside the library.

I have been so busy of late.I went to a very interesting Lecture that WGSN hosted. It was based on retail and merchandising for in store and window displays. It was so informative. Especially focusing on today's recession and how things are going to change.It sort of depresses me and excites me for some reason. I know that a lot of things are going to change. But I know that this is an
