Here's a wonderful video my friend Sean made all about Popcorn in Prospect Park, co-starring my redheaded roommates Tim & Tara! I watch it everyday!

This card is part of a series of collaborations with Michele, and one of my back burner projects is to make duplicate cards for her. But something always comes up, and I end up giving the cards away before I can pass them on to her. Like today. It is my friend Tracy's last day at our office; a very proud, tear-jerking event- as it's been a long awaited goal of her's to move on from this place. When making this card, I thought it was a sentiment that not many people would have a need for; and therefore, not a terribly practical card to make. But I have no doubts of its use now, as I feel that it is the perfect send-off card for work friends moving on with their professional lives from their downtrodden co-workers.

So I guess I should start making another card for Michele to have...

Sprucing Things Up

Here's a different tone for this illustration with incredibly sappy tendencies. I'm super pleased with the faux-wood cardstock that I splurged on at Paper Presentation, and the soft brown thread works way better than the original prototype that uses black. I enjoy improving!

I don't think it's just okay to have down periods. I think it's necessary. I can tell I'm waking up, and it feels good. If I never went away, ever, what reason would I have to say "Hello" again? I am wearing pink lipstick and contact lenses, and I am bright-eyed. You'll see after the jump that I have been sewing, but I'm also starting to work on a series of drawings of embroidered sentiments- I just don't have the texture down yet.I am determined to be pleased with this, eventually.
