The Sweetest Occasion
TGIF and happy Fridays, friends! I have had the busiest week and am so very much looking forward to the weekend. This week was jam-packed with two photo shoots, a bunch of prep work for upcoming projects, dreaming big and some very exciting news about a future venture. So, in turn, this weekend is going to involve yoga pants and coffee to balance it all out. I hope everyone had a fabulous week! Wishing you lots of down time and laziness this weekend, see you here on Monday!
I was up super early yesterday morning, waiting in line for a spot to get my taxes done for free at the Actors’ Equity Association building. If you don’t know what AEA is, it’s the stage actors’ union, and they offer benefits to actors who have their Equity card (like doing your taxes for free). But the only thing is there are about a zillion actors, so if you want your taxes done, you literally have to get in line at 5 a.m. and find a way to pass the time.
Lovely indeed

Morning by Foley
Il y a quelques jours, j’ai eu l’occasion de découvrir l’expo actuelle de la Maison Rouge, « Néon, who’s afraid of red, yellow and blue ? « . La toute première exposition dédiée à cet art plutôt récent (et encore pas tant que ça !) du néon. J’avais déjà très envie d’y aller, alors quand l’agence Red Stiletto m’a proposé une visite privée avec le commissaire de l’exposition David Rosenberg j’étais absolument ravie !

Avouez que c’est plutôt jolie tout ça ? Découvert lors d’un vernissage chez Emé & Isa Galerie (qui propose une très chouette sélection), les créations d’Anaïs sont faits main. “Pour de vrai”, comme elle dit.

You know how I love to see how other artists work and live. I wrote about this here and here . The makers is another amazing project made by Jennifer Causey where you can meet and see different artisans at work, in there own work space. Jennifer is constantly seeking handmade and artisan-produced products. She loves discovering people who embrace a more tactile way of living. And her pictures are simply beautiful.

MyLittleBox avait choisi le thème ambitieux de « New York » pour sa boîte surprise du mois de mars, pour moi une des meilleures réceptionnée depuis le début de l’année. Peut-être parce que j’y ai retrouvé les cartes de Vahram Muratyan extraites de son livre La jolie boutique Fifi Jolipois regorge de mille trésors pour les créatives et les manuelles.
How About Orange
It's spring in Chicago, which means wet things no longer freeze outside and the sun actually shines. So I tried another project with Inkodye , the photosensitive dye tested in a few projects last year. I'd received samples from the manufacturer to play with, and I've been curious about using paper doilies as stencils. I taped a piece of white cotton canvas to cardboard wrapped in plastic. With a sponge brush, I applied red-orange dye.I live in a house of book lovers, and that doesn't mean just the kind you buy. We love making little books for all kinds of purposes, and the other day I made a combination printable and project along these lines. What I love most about this little book is that you can use it in many ways. The idea started out with a request from a reader.

My Owl Barn
Ran Hwang is a Korean-born artist currently living in New York creates incredible wall installations using buttons and pins. She creates oversized intricate murals of birds and owls that look like a collection of pixels on a screen seen on up close, but from afar it all comes together as a one amazing piece of art. Artist's statement: "The process of building large installations are time consuming and repetitive and it requires manual effort which provides a form of self-meditation.By Kelly on May 7, 2012 Happy Monday ladies and gents!
