In my post on Lonny Photo I referenced the head-on cow face oil painting in my foyer. I realized I should include all I know about Roz, the South Texas-based artist of the store RozArt, who made my little cow, below, as a custom order for me. Roz is a single mother of three, who, […]

Isabelle Abramson lives near where I grew up in Boston’s Back Bay and I’m definitely interested in focusing more on what’s going on in various regions in the crafts/arts space. Not only that […]

When I lived in Telluride a few years ago I worked at the Ah Haa School for the Arts. In the summer the school runs an annual Art Auction, its biggest fundraiser of the year. There are lots of amazing artists and incredible people in that town – its scenery, terrain and atmosphere bring in […]

During my epic plane ride and blog catching up I also came across another artist who I find inspirational, Kwangho Lee. As I’ve been delving further and further into felting, knitting and crochet the idea of using new materials is one that has crossed my mind. Never did I think to use solid rubber electrical […]

On my flight home from San Francisco last night I was lucky enough to be on Virgin America and be able to have Wi-Fi the whole time. I caught up on many of my blogs and came across some amazing new things including the work of Hisano Takei. As my friends know, I have a […]
