DELAYED REACTION

I woke up this morning and realized that Christmas is over. Did i fall down the rabbit hole of boxes? Did i get drowned in a sea of glitter? Did i take a magic potion that allows one sleep for two weeks? Wherever i was, i am here now posting the images from 'design is mine' blog that inspired me of Christmas past. Thank you. Thank you for the reminder. Hope your holidays were cozy.

BOWS! BOWS! BOWS!

I made some fabulous bows for the holiday season with things that you have hanging around. Get the hot glue gun and get inspired! Newsprint love!

This and that...

The perfect this.
The perfect that.
The perfect place.
The perfect hat.

WHO LOVES COOKIES?

Secret Messages

Like a fortune cookie,
There are messages in the things we love.
In the words we say,
In the books we read,
In the way we drive,
In the songs we sing.
Like a fortune cookie,
There are messages in the boxes i make:
*What colour is your heart?
*Make art-Not war
*Glitter on the Inside
*If you love it. Forget what anyone else thinks.
Like a fortune cookie needs to be cracked,
So does ART STUDIO IN A BOX.
Buy one and find the message.

Dream Stick

This is a little preview for you. I am always looking for ways to make something with the little nothings we have that we just cant let go of. This is a dream stick. Filled with little notes, trinkets, fabrics, papers, newspaper articles, old bobbles and collections of little things. Add a stick painted in your favorite colour with a chicken wire nest, spray glue and glitter and you are dreaming....

Personal Shopping

Every once in a while i work with clients and style them, re-work their closets and reinvent the season. Recently i used the clothing of www.lifeanddeathclothing.com (Scotch and Soda) to inject some flair in this lucky man's wardrobe. So take your 'hip to the cool jive' gent to the nearest location. Great textures and cuts.

PACKING STUDIO

Robin Cimitruk (www.cimifoto.com) came by on Halloween and took these sweet shots of our box packing digs.....

ADULTS ONLY

Peace Love and Deodorant

Just a little product i love.
Roll on brings me back to the good old days watching my Mom slather it on.
But something about this woodsy, clean scent makes me happy.
AND! It is better for you than the other guys.
Roll it on and see.
It may bring you peace....

Overlap

From Parts Gallery window
To a conversation with Maureen.
Seen on 'Colour Collective' Blog (where this image came from)
Fiona delights.
Her art
I would love to hang
in my home.
Thank you Fiona for making art.

The Way

Lets throw the rice, the roses.
Lets wear the sequins.
Make the kissing poses.
Lets make the magic
Lets set the scene
Know nothing of logic.
Sing the songs
Dress up and say:
"I am in love today"

Aerosmith-Inspired Styles

Just a little something that i wanted to show you before the Nation saw this little scrap fabric treat i have dreamed up....more on that later! XO
