Postage Paid

My friend Ellen sent me an incredible package. Of all the goodies inside, this mixtape and this tag were my favorites. It's a machine embroidery of a Russian stamp from the 70's. Noyta means "postage" in Russian.

Garden Wedding

My eldest sister Hester married Huckleberry today. It was a delightful wedding held at a private garden in Decatur, GA.

Marushka

My parents bought this silk screen by Marushka years ago. It reminds me so much of family trips to Maine.

"Marushka, a design and silk screen textile manufacturing company, was founded in Spring Lake, Michigan, in 1972 by Phyllis Gifford and Dick Sweet. the name “Marushka” means “Mary” in Polish." - unruly things

a Whale of a Tale

I love the majestic size and weight of whales, and I made an animation about one while in school. I stitched this last summer when I was considering getting a tattoo of a whale on my right shoulder. I still haven't gotten it yet, but perhaps this will be the summer.

Brisingr

"I am decided. Sword, I name thee Brisingr! And with a sound like rushing wind, the blade burst into fire, and envelope of sapphire-blue flames writhing about the razor-sharp steel."

-Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Luren Jenison

I had the pleasure of going to school with Luren Jenison. She is a delightful person and it shows in her work. These are both from a series titled "Nomadic Environmental Design."

Puppy-Dog Eyes

This tufted basset hound is over 3 feet high. It hardly fit into my car yesterday, but I had to get it. Found at a Goodwill in Smyrna, GA.
