Just In Time For Halloween

 

Since my last post was so visually stimulating, I thought it would be fun if this one was too.

And it's pretty perfect since Halloween is coming. See this guy my look normal, but really he's got his make-up on now. Eventually you will recognize him from that Lady Gaga video.

 

Art Imitates Life

Sometimes I just have to ask myself, "What side of the looking glass are we on?"

This photo uses no digital enhancement. Alexa Meade paints directly on people and photographs them. It is too cool. She was on the front of YAHOO! yesterday. Here is the link:

I never cease to be amazed by art and it's ability to constantly challenge reality.
Visual stimulation is a blessing.

Ski Equipment Garbage Art

This is the latest piece in my art collection of mosaics made by my mom. (and Frank)

I use the term "garbage art" because the centerpiece is an old ski binding that has been indemnified. Once a binding gets too old, you can't ski it anymore and it must be thrown away. Fortunately for this binding it was designed to be multipurpose, thus saving it from the dumpster. It is also a beer bottle opener. (Because a skier should always be prepared.) When I worked at the Ski Barn, in NJ, I snatched up this piece of history. Four years later my mom has finally made good on her promise to make it look cool.

I know what your thinking. And from this angle you can see how it would open a bottle.

And since I am my little brother's biggest fan, this is my favorite part.

My mom is so lucky to have given birth to such talent over and over again :)

If you would like to get your hands on some of my mom's work yourself visit her Etsy shop.

New Style

This is the Florida Scarf we are all familiar with. It is how I've been making neck warmers since 2007. This year I have decided to branch out. I've created an additional style for the scarves. They are bigger, thicker, chunkier, and wider.

They aren't as compact as the traditional version, but they are practical in different ways. You can tuck your face in it, to protect from wind. It will also cover more of your chest and shoulders. And since there is more surface area to work with, I can add more buttons and accents.

Have a nice weekend.

Stay Warm.

The leaves are starting to fall in Alabama. So I'm sure it's chilly where ever you are too.

I'm on Pinterest

I've been on pinterest for a couple of months now, but I'm stepping up the game.

If you aren't familiar with pinterest let me explain. It's a place where you can (virtually) go and create your world (who you are and who you would be if money and time were limitless) with imagery.

You set up "pin" boards of things you love. If you're an artist, it's like a working studio. If you not, you might picture it a lot like your bedroom in high school or college.

The great part of pinterest is that it is also a social community. You can see what other people "pin" and comment or re-pin. If you like pretty pictures it'll be more addicting than facebook.

I encourage you to check it out. Follow me while your there. I'd love to share inspiration with you.
