After nearly a week of being under the weather, I’m feeling marginally alive again. I can almost breath through my nose! In the spirit of the laziest four days of my life being behind me I’m posting about a young woman who seems to be doing a LOT with her time, Bethany Mitchell. I’m pretty […]

While my mom and I were out cruising around Jamaica Plain this weekend we also stopped by The Hallway Gallery, owned by one of the founders of Room 68. The gallery had a show up of paperclip watercolors, literally watercolors of paperclips by Dan Golden, which were amazing. I went on their blog though, when […]

Today my mom and I went on a discovery trip around town! We have a wedding to go to in a few hours so had to hustle our way around the city to check out some of the cool new stuff we’d heard was going on. First stop was Room 68, a new store in […]

Sometimes I find artists online that make me wonder how on Earth I didn’t know about them already. My boyfriend refers to me as a “Page 5 Googler” as I’m known for my ability to dig into the deep internet to find stuff out…take that as you wish. Today was one of those days when […]

I probably get 40 shopping emails a day from all sorts of sites – group buying, discount, just awesome – and I hate to say it but rarely is there a day when I have time to open any of them except for the home decorating ones. Today I really didn’t have time but I’d […]

Everyone knows I love a good sea urchin and today, my brother’s friend Neil (and my friend too) sent me the site of Jennifer Maestre whose sculptures are entirely inspired by “the form and function of the sea urchin.” These are 1 inch sections of pencils, cut, sharpened, drilled and then sewn together like in beading.

I went back down the rabbit hole after a homemade dinner tonight and stumbled upon Tokyo artists, Kohei Nawa. I forget how I found him but it was on someone’s Facebook tonight! I was drawn to his pieces for a few reasons – scale, material, shape. The above is from his Scum series, which is mixed […]

In looking for more continuing education opportunities for myself around Boston I came upon MassArt’s upcoming Fiber Arts class on Sculptural Knitting, which would be one way to describe my yurt project. In the course description, there was a link to artist Nathalie Miebach, I assume because her work is some kind of awesome. This […]
