Baby gifts

I was commissioned to make baby booties, jumper, and soakers for my friend
La-Vie.

The booties are made from sock yarn (85% merino wool, 15% nylon).
The little silver, flower buttons are adorable.

The jumper is made from 100% organic cotton and accented with little scalloped edge.

And I made two soakers. The smaller green one is made from a soft, silky bamboo blend. Then I combined the pastel purple, organic cotton and bamboo yarn to make another one.

Market Bags

Inspired by fishing nets I saw in Hofn,Iceland, I made these market bags.

I used a silky, soft, bamboo blend yarn.

It's sturdy, stretchy, stylish and environmentally friendly.

Back from Iceland...

Loved it so much that I stayed longer than expected. My bad :) Iceland is truly a magical place. The atmosphere is unique and the landscape is rugged and breathtaking. Here are some pics for your own personal pleasure...

The glaciers near Hofn.

I snapped this while we were traveling in the southern part of the island when the sun was beginning to set at 10 pm.

Adding a stone to the Lava Mound is supposed to give you good luck on your journey.

A creek at Pingvellir National Park. The light in Iceland was amazing.

The rift separating the American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Spotted this during a road trip in the southern part of the island. Pobel is a Norwegian graffiti artist who likes to stick his tags in the most unlikely places.

Bound for Iceland with just a pillow and a prayer.
I'll be there for 2 weeks doing volunteer, environmental work.

A tout de suite!

In a Dream

If you're in Philly, San Francisco, Athens, or New York City I highly recommend going to the opening of this documentary about my neighbor, the tormented artist Isaiah Zagar. I was sold after watching the trailer. I got the heads up from the art director of this film, Molly Mullahy. Molly is also a great artist and her exhibits and parties are so much fun.
