So holiday away! 

See you next week!

Church of Pom Pom

I am a new convert to the Church of PomPom. Lisa has this crazy love for these little fur balls and not til I made my first one recently did I understand.

This tutorial on making a Pom Pom necklace/Scarf is so much fun!

Indulge me this week as I share more than one thing about my art.

This Sunday, Cinders Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) will be holding a silent auction. There will be some pieces on view online, so check it out. Here is my piece for the show, which most of you have seen before.

Cinders Gallery Presents:

The End Is Like The Beginning
Sunday, December 20th 4pm Sharp! Bidding ends at 7pm

This is a Silent Art Auction party featuring many of the artists who have
been involved with making Cinders awesome over the last 5 1/2 years. We
held a super fun auction last June that was so enthusiastically attended
that we decided to do another one.

Some of the work will be viewable on our website for the folks who can't
make it in person but those that can attend should because some pieces
will only be available in the gallery. There will be snacks and drinks and
good tunes.....So come on down and join us.

Featuring Allyson Mellberg, Jeremy Taylor, Maya Hayuk, Kyle Ranson, Mel
Kadel, Travis Millard, Daniel Davidson, Caroline Hwang, Leif Goldberg,
Eric White, Suzanne Sattler, Jo Dery, Noel Freibert, Blokis, Elisita
Punto, Mike Pare, Jordin Isip, Kelie Bowman, Sto, Jessie Rose Vala,
Matthew Thurber, Monica Canilao, Jungil Hong, David Horvitz, Nick Kuszyk,
Erika Somogyi, Raphael Lyon, Denise Schatz, James Gallagher, Sean
Samoheyl, Molly OConnell, Mollie Goldstrom, Diane Barcelowsky, Kyle Field,
Kiersten Essenpreis, Tod Seelie, Jocko Weyland, James Morrison, Chris Day,
Alison Corrie and more!

Parisian Bears on the updated Etsy Shop!

I just updated my etsy shop with some new things!

Including the Parrrrrisian Bear (foux-da-fa-fa!) and some original paintings.

Please take my paintings away, I have no more space to create new work!

And yes, I finally took waaay better photos of my "Home" Zine.

Its not a struggle at Struggle Inc.

Cody Hudson has finally put up his new site. All brand-spankin' new paintings, designs, and sculptures. They totally rule.

There's no place like "Home"

A while back, I mentioned a contribution I did for Faesthetic Magazine regarding the theme of "Home." I recently expanded it and created a zine out of it. It is now up for sale on my webstore, will be up on etsy by the end of the week. (With better photos!)

But for now, here it is:

8 page, duotone zine

Comes with a Set of 4, hand printed coaster set. $10 plus shipping.

(only comes with one zine, there are 3 different covers that were created)

Gift Guide on Shiny Squirrel

Jessica from the Shiny Squirrel kindly asked me to contribute to her daily gift guide, her is my list!

spoonmelove is LAUNCHED!

As you saw on our sneak peek on Monday, I've been working on this project spoonmeloveme with Bryn. After a year of back and forth, talking, discussing, designing, and printing, we are finally ready to launch. And here it is...

This project started out as an IM conversation between Bryn and I after a tumultuous day in New York. If you have a relationship with New York, you know that we have our ups and downs with it and sometimes you love it and sometimes you hate it but you always want it to love you.

This is our love note to Brooklyn and New York through posters and totes. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have in creating it. We plan to work on more cities, so keep your eye out.

Find our store at spoonmeloveme where we're only allotting a couple of items to be sold, we're fully launching our sales on Sunday at the Bust Craftacular at special prices. So see you then!

yes, yes, and my boyfriend will thank you

The new Sonia Rykiel lingerie line for H&M.

How about every one of these and a little liposuction to go with?
