| Dahlia brooch on The Uniform Project 9/12 | [24 Sep 2009|10:46am] |
Yay, Sheena looks totally cute! Sheena was in Ireland for the day for a Uniform Party fundraiser dressed as a Corkonian Court Jester for the fundraiser's costume party. I love that she chose to wear the dahlia brooch on the center of her dress positioned at a tilt; it's definitely something I hadn't thought of and is a more adventurous way to wear the brooch. One should always have fun with one's accessories, don't you think?

| Thanks for the Renegade SF love! | [24 Jul 2009|12:34pm] |
I had a great time at Renegade SF this past weekend. I got to use my earring tree for the first time (my first 3D lasercut design!), which worked great, and met lots of lovely folks. I would have loved to do some shopping but I couldn't really get away from the booth, but perhaps that was for the best where my pocketbook was concerned.
Here are some quick shots taken from my iPhone:
Here's my boothmate's amazing work, Katy Kristin:
And MANY THANKS to those who gave some blog/photo gallery love:

| 3/11: Handmade Nation screening in SF | [10 Feb 2009|10:47pm] |
Just found out that Handmade Nation will be screening at Mezzanine on March 11th. Tix go on sale next Tuesday February 17th. The screening is presented by the San Francisco Film Society.
http://www.sffs.org/events/films/film_handmade_nation.html
Handmade Nation
Faythe Levine (USA, 2009)
Lisa Congdon, owner of retailer Rare Device and Tina Barseghian, editor-in-chief of Craft magazine are expected to attend.
The downward path the U.S. economy is currently taking is inspiring many people to rethink their buying habits. As more of us learn to think small, the advocates of buying local and buying handmade will no doubt find new adherents. Buying local for many means buying handmade objects that are designed and fabricated with ingenuity, grit and love. Handmade Nation documents a movement of artists, crafters and designers that imbue traditional handiwork techniques with a punky do-it-yourself ethos informed by modern aesthetics, politics, feminism and art. The film explores the burgeoning art community of indie crafters that is fueled by creativity, determination and networking. First-time director Faythe Levine traveled the U.S. to capture the tight-knit community, conducting interviews in the studios and homes of noted and independent artists. Levine also details how Web sites, blogs and online stores have spurred a once underground movement and how crafts have expanded to connect with the greater public through boutiques, galleries and fairs.

I don't usually post about politics, but this one transcends policy and politics, it affects the civil rights of millions of people in California. Make sure to vote early, vote often, and vote NO on Proposition 8. Don't add discriminating policies to the California state constitution.
