I added a new option to the etsy shop today: Leather Scrap Earrings- choose your colors
More colors, and packaging photos:
The jars have sold out! I'll be posting some new ones with more color options soon(-ish).
Hello, friends! It's been a day of tedious HTML work so I'm taking a breather to post this collage I made the other day. I'm in the exciting, stretching time of conceptualizing this new design project, so I get to make fun searching lines like this for a little while.
4 1/4" by 5 3/4" on plywood, old bits of sheet music and other found papers.
I made this collage for last year's "Art For Food" auction in Providence, and it was bought by a couple who used it as inspiration for their baby's nursery decor. (Apologies for the blurry photo. I didn't get a chance to scan it or anything.)
The photo that I used for the penguin reference made me smile- it looked like three guys in penguin suits taking a casual stroll.
Here are the photos I should have taken yesterday:
...and with some sunshine coming through:
Embroidery is an obsession of mine that seems to be keeping a pretty firm grasp. I delight in thread and all its possibilities! This series of four was created last fall. When I was photographing them today, I forgot to take a shot of how they looked all stacked on each other, which is sort of the point... silly me. I'll have to do that soon.

I'm selling my turtle and squirrel from the window installation on Etsy! I wish I could keep them, but it will be happy to send them off into the world.
Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who has written about my work lately- It means a lot to me, and is especially encouraging and helpful in this time of transition. Many thanks! Design*Sponge

Illustration about androgyny! Each haircut flap hides a corresponding person' s name. Documented haircuts with some real and some invented names. I've retouched this piece since these photos were taken, but you get the idea.

Finally, pretty pictures of the window installation!! Big thanks to Nathan, Chris, and Emma for all your helps.
This installation was part of Providence Art Windows Spring '08, on view at 191 Westminster St. Providence from March 20th through June 13th. I collaborated with textile artist Sarah Cagle to create this vignette of a stripped forest being rebuilt by its inhabitants.
For more pictures, see my photostream. Some of the pieces from this installation will be available at my etsy store soon!
