Meeting!

I have a pretty important dinner meeting today that I am really looking forward to. I'm working on trying to teach my own zine workshop. I love zines so much I would like to teach others how to get involved. Do you make zines? Do you have any tips for a zine maker?
Remember that to-do list I made a while back? I'm finally tackling it. I have promised myself that 2011 will be my year.
In unrelated news this is a photo of a cubby in my bookshelf. Lately I've been really into crystals and geodes so I have started a small collection. And you can't have crystals without dinosaurs walking around. The wooden block on the left was made by Michele Bosak. The cylindrical object on the right is a handmade kaleidoscope made by Joanna Goss and Don Picton. The pink horse is made by Jane Ryder. My good friend Janey decorated the house box. Mother nature created all the rocks and crystals. The dinosaur has mysterious origins. It's a pretty exciting shelf!

Etsy Favorites!

Thank you to everyone for your sweet comment about my interview on papernstitch. That was such a fun thing to be part of.

Today I want to focus on some great things happening on etsy so I've curated a page of some of my favorite pieces.

This is a new piece by Michele Bosak at mimidoodles.

This cute piece is by PearsonMaron and it's on sale!
My friend Michelle Moode always makes beautiful work. Check this out here.

I like the message on this necklace. You can buy handmade eco-friendly pieces at All Those 3hrees

Dana Komjaty's pieces are always beautiful and fun. Find this one here.

Last but not least, I love these fake cupcakes by Paper Librarian. Love the shop name, too. These look so real!

Etsy Feature Wednesday- Michele Bosak

This is very surprising to me... I chose to do a weekly post to my blog and I'm sticking with it! This is the second Wednesday in a row that I'm doing an Etsy feature. Usually I decide to do something and then forget all about it. I must be growing up... NO, I must be at my job and blowing off work. Haha. Whatever the case I'm very happy to show off my favorite Etsy artists and this week is no exception.


Michele Bosak is a very successful Etsy artist. She is in plenty of treasuries and I often see her lovely work gracing the front page.


I met Michele my first year of grad school when she was in her last year. Her MFA thesis show was brilliant, very inspiring. I feel like what I say will not do her work the justice it deserves so I'll let it speak for itself. Go fill your eyes up here and read all about Michele here.
