The next couple weeks are going to be rough for me to organize due to my impeding collegiate graduation and being short handed at work. But meetings should still go on with out me!
Oh and I finished this lil guy. Meh... it was an experiment, one I'll probably never make again! He's cute in his own weird vicious way.
Love books? Love gardening? Well here's one for you. Koshi Kawachi from Tokyo, Japan created her "Manga Farming" series combining radish seeds and Manga books. I can only image what a back yard would look like as a plant library!
An artist collective by the name of Evoltaste has been blowing up the interwebs with their fancy European tour of urban building stencils on transformers and other dull grey structures. These were done in only 3 layers. Check out their other work!
Eva Marguerre and Marcel Besau created these amazing baskets out of elastic yarn and resin. Read more about their process here.
Sadly I can attend no meeting this week. My coworker has injured himself and I must fill in for a couple days. RAW is occupied of Thursday, but if anyone else would like to host a meeting Wednesday I could pop in and out. Or if it's a nice day, don't feel too guilty about going to the park without me!
I'm going to post some cool things tomorrow. Hartford's got me exhausted.
I started to put together this post to mention the passing ofMalcolm McLaren
He was not only a big inspiration to me, his former partner, Vivienne Westwood, is where I took my tag name. I have, up until the last couple of years, felt like an outsider a lot of the time. Seeing what they were putting out into the world made me feel like it was o.k. to keep doing what I was doing.
As I read more about Malcolm, I found that he was interested in a movement called the Situationist International
As I read more (which I tend to do, get a little nutty about a subject and read as much as I can), the article gives examples of people who are doing things in the spirit of the SI. Then I see Banksy mentioned. A friend I talked to earlier in the day suggested I do a tag with a Banksy slogan. All of this has been swirling around in my head until I could get here and share my swirls with you.
So I just want to say, Thank you Malcolm. And I will keep doing what I do. And I will think of you while I'm doing it. ">
Whether in your home or in your pants, we've all got gas. Odds are you've also seen this, but if you haven't you must!
Spread the warmth
Vivi de La Laine et moi ventured over to Elizibeth Park today. Amongst the rose garden we sat, knit, ate popsicles, and giggled at boys. Sounds thanks to the CD collection of Coexist, one of Dubbage CT's various DJ's. GOOD TIMES!
I'm thinking about having it on Thursday, the sunniest and warmest day of the week. To gain maximum sunshine/warmth exposure I would like to meet earlier.
