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.

Handpainted, Pure Wool
The strands and color are irregular. I love that. And it's really soft. This is going to be a beanie or tam. We'll see...

P.S. Currently listening to The Black Keys. They're amazing - only two guys and they sound like a ten piece band. Enjoy!
