I love ETSY

oh yes I do!
I've been selling lots of nest charms and I've been buying some very neat-o stuff too. I'm anxiously waiting for this sweet drawing:

It's from DUDADAZE's shop.
And this cool patch:

From my fave Altered Diva.

It's 2:20 am.... I must TRY to get some sleep. Just 5 more minutes of Etsy & Flickr!

It's fantastic! Another thing on my wish list :)

You can find these cool bird bottles here: Williamsburg

My art reception for my gallery opening at the River Gallery last Saturday went really well. There was champagne, brownies, and lemon tarts, and everything looked great... Jan did a great job of displaying everything. Almost all my friends came, even those I had n't seen in a year and it was a nice time. Tyler was a trooper and hung out with me the entire time... not many teenage boys are that cool!

Cool little blog toy

Check out the right column and scroll down till you see the map. I added that last night during my 'online all nighter'. It logs where everyone is from around the world. How fun is that?

Pancake Meow


Look at this doughnut - doesn't just make you crave Krisyp Kreme? You can almost smell it, taste it.... but it's a necklace! Oh yes, you have to go over to Pancake-Meow and check out her INCREDIBLE mini food. You can even have it customized... choose your icing, sprinkles, etc and I haven't even shared the best part ... You can choose your SCENT! That's right... it will smell as good as it looks. Wow!

TackDots - a cool product

These TackDots I got at Staples yesterday are something I wish I had thought of. They are tiny and fit anywhere like monitors, by the door, etc.

The artwork of Lisa Kokin

Lisa Kokin's art is stunning. I especially like her button work. It reminds me of my childhood.... tying everything up in the kitchen, garage, my bedroom.... Who knows what possesses me to do these things.

America's Tsunami: Are We Next?

Discovery Channel :: America's Tsunami: Are We Next?

Yes, we are freak'n next - I live a tsunami zone and to make matters worse, the Cascadia Tsunami zone. Ok, so I watched this show a month ago (they play it often if you missed it) and it totally freaked me out. I was able to live in denial till seeing it, now it's all I think about.

Tonight, as I'm in my jammies, playing online, what do I hear? The tsunami siren!!! Yes - it's totally dumb, and if the tv was on, we would have never heard it. It sounds like the doorbell in the house I grew up in. Anyway - hearing it at 10pm made me panic and what did I do? Nothing!! I froze! Did I get my car and drive to high ground? No. I froze. Pat called the police to see if it was a test or something, and they said it was accidentally sounded. Holy shit - accidentally? I have since broken out into hives and I'm swollen and itching from my tummy to my eyebrows. I love the water and I love the ocean, and it sucks that I'm afraid of it now. GRRR!!!

26 Things: The Photographic Scavenger Hunt

While cruising the web this morning, I found this great project: 26 Things The Photographic Scavenger Hunt. Get your camera out and watch for the new list of things to shoot for December. It's great a great way to practice more artistic shots, trying out different settings on camera, etc... while giving you something specific to shoot.

If you do it, add your link to comment section so we can see.

Amazing - Totally Amazing

Julian Beever's pavement drawings are incredible. Check out his chalk/pastel drawings on the street that look 3D, but are totally flat. Keep clicking on all his thumbnails, so you can see what they look like from other angles - totally nuts.

Dear Crissy

I'm crazy about you! You're an amazing artist and what I love most is the fact that you use yourself in your art. You totally have captured me, along with the rest of your huge following. I love how you can change your look like a chameleon... your photos are breath-taking all alone, and then whe you paint and draw on them.... well it's just nothing short of amazing.

You have inspired my son and I to take more photos... try something edgy... maybe tinker a bit with them too, but nothing, nothing, nothing will ever come close to your artful bliss.

======================================
Don't wait - go look at her art now - it's truly hypnotic.
