It is Catherine's birthday today so I took her out for coffee. We picked up the remaining terrariums from Bizarre Market Holiday and were pleasantly surprised at the success of Hurry&Leaf. All the remaining terrariums (other then a couple of the really sad ones in need of doctoring) can be found at LOOK salon.

It feels good to have a little crafty project with Catherine that actually pays off in the end.

So Catherine and I did have that show at Gallery 5. We went under the pseudonym Isobel Milena. Very happy with the outcome. Lots of animal bones, insects, terrariums, books, etc.
Some pix from the show can be found here .

I look forward to working with her some more in the future.
Here are a couple of my favorite pieces.

Day nine of working at my day job came to an end, thankfully. I was able to make one piece tonight and am pondering doing a zodiac themed line. I made the Pisces tonight.
And I had made the Leo one a while ago. Next up is Aries made out of this amazing ram fur clip I found.

new obsessions?

So Catherine proposed an idea today about the two of us collaborating on a project that may end up in a gallery. We are just in the brainstorming stages of it but it's incredibly exciting and scary since I've never done anything like this. First stop is thinking up of a name for our collaborative effort, then we have to come up with some examples/ideas to present to the gallery, then comes the actual work. I'm very hopeful about this as Catherine and I tend to be each others muses and have a general similar taste in all things visual. At the same time she is probably the one person that has always encouraged me to do way more then i ever do and it's so wonderful to have her around.

Here's a lovely picture of said lady with her kokeshi doll which is en route to LA right now. She is wearing a necklace by yours truly.

Lets give this a try

I feel that I'm more of a fan of reading blogs then writing one of my own probably b/c I'm convinced that there's not much to write about. I'm going to give it a shot though.

Been spending a lot of time in my vintage shop and it's super fun for me. It's a good way to be impulsive and shop and buy things that are neato, but it's also productive as well.
