winter is beautiful!

Beautiful day at the park

Art Grant proposal sent into Black Rock City

Yes, friends, I'm planning an art project of my own for the playa this year. It's based on research I've been doing on re-curring visual themes in the Divine Feminine achetypes. Built in the shape of a yurt, it's planned to be a womb-like space where participants can be re-born  to their lives in the present. Here's a sketch of my plans:

I'm envisioning workshops, performances, artwork, runes, drum circles and more in and around this space. Join me?

These kinds of challenges are fun and help to keep me motivated to get busy!

Hommage a Klee

 Playing with the dark of the year and Photoshop :)

new cowl finished!

Now that I live in a cooler climate, I can play with knitting and crocheting! This is a new cowl I just finished..... the idea was for it to look tribal... not sure the day-glo yarn carries that off; and also to use the Knifty Knitter that I bought 4 years ago. I don't like to store things that don't get used, so I decided it either needed to be usefull or go..... I did the body of the cowl with the large ring and then added on the design elements using my imagination :)

starting a new group

     Settling into my new/ old locale (I've lived in the Seattle area before) and looking to meet up with other crafters. I couldn't find quite a local group, so I'm starting one up myself! We'll be meeting at the Burien Press on 152nd St., from 5-7 pm on Tuesdays. It's right across the street from the library. This group is primarily for knit and crochet, and it's called Dang Knit!  I'm so hoping some of you will want to do some friendly yarn-bombing! ie, stuff we won't get arrested for :P
