just peeking out & saying hey, & remember that my inaugural project gallery show is THIS saturday people....bay area folks please come say hi to me. (& out of the area folks too, oh my, any east coast, mid west friends flying in? hee hee...)
and i'm here to tell you - dranking too much whiskey & eating too much vegan haggis last night is not a way to wake up early with kiddos at the waiting. we celebrated robert burns, scottish poet & populist hero, with my englishman neighbor-friend. we also read lovely sweet poems & some naughty ones to boot!
off to listen to some bluegrass tonight & finish up some framing of some i-pola's for my domestiCity show! eep!
so a little while ago i was scheming on how to collaborate with some awesome lady artists, and this is how it has unfolded - lightbulb - make rad glass necklaces with them! first up for the sprout editions is mati mcdonough , she is our ms january & we made two necklaces -- they are super fantastic and of course i'm sure i'll need one of each :) & i think you might need them too. check them out on my sprout studio site & scoop one or both up!
each month i'll be collaborating with a different lady artist & for 2010 we have a baker's dozen of exciting sprout necklace editions lined up. stay tuned, because february is coming up fast!

we have a sidewalk chalk word artist in our dogpatch neighborhood. this is one of my faves i've seen. they always make this odd, patched together - sort of sense. sometimes they are political, sometimes i'm not sure what the little poetry writings are referring too. but this one, this one i just love. i'll be printing about 10-12 of my i-pola's for my upcoming show & i'm fairly certain this will be one of them :)
hello art lovers!! here's the first of the big 2010 news -- we are so thrilled to unveil our first, kick off, inaugural show at the *project sprout gallery* at the 900 tennessee in dogpatch! katrina rodabaugh & myself will be exhibiting photos, prints, & works on paper & we couldn't be more excited!!
january 30th is our opening & we have a closing tea in february as well. we would LOVE to have you - please mark your calendars and come out & help us celebrate!
the mister & me are crazy stoked to begin our venture in the home gallery world. we were part of a co-op gallery back in virginia and it's been too long since we've been running around adjusting lights, putting out wine, & showing art! hooray!
we have a tentative second show at the project sprout gallery on the books for late april :)
we did not get to travel to colorado as planned :( the transmission in our "grey ghost" vw, well, gave up the ghost. so no trip for us over the holidays. instead, we totally redesigned our kitchen -- took down old cabinetry, got some new old metal ones from our local resource center (where, seriously, about 75% of our home is from -- it's our local place where contractors and builders drop off new & old vintagey "stuff" -- & we buy it up for cheap & spruce it all out!) & rearranged, cleaned, built, moved, mounted & took up & put down & removed & decided where what should be where! this took the entire 2 weeks; plus i had a cold.
so now our kitchen is awesome, but the rest of our place very well could have been the site of some sort of explosion. all that will need to be fixed very soon, because we have big plans coming down the january pipes. this weekend i'll give you all the heads up on our next fun venture happening in our place & dates to save!
soon after that unveiling, i have another project in the works that i'll unveil next week!
2010, i've got plans for you buster & we are gonna rock out this year!
celebrating new days and birth days with sweet lady friends. & chocolate pudding pie as the birthday cake. i love that too.
1. go to the movies with a good friend & watch sweet ole bitty of a 70 something lady hit on your mister & compliment his almost-to-be handlebar mustachio
2. sneak picnic lunch into movie with cloth napkins & chocolates & candied mango for dessert
3. head to tea/coffee at trouble coffee shop near the beach & sit on awesome old growth lumber benches outside
4. drink yummy earl grey tea & homemade choc chip cookie while meandering down the street.
5. wander to nearby totally cool general store where you might lust after a wool fishermen's sweater that you used to steal from your father and wear all the time. miss sweater. miss your dad on the east coast. make deal in head to come back and purchase said awesome sweater once all the wool eating moths decide to migrate to someone else's home.
6. shoot shake it photos of heart stickers & other cool things on the way because the shakeit app is the best thing since ever.
7. take photo of cutest dixie dog ever even though said doggie likes to whine & act like her world is coming to an end when you walk into cool stores & leave her behind.
8. drive camper bus ruby-nell to ocean beach and have a growler of brewed stout beer while watching ocean and scheming great ideas about summer months ahead.
9. decide to have these types of days all the time in twenty-ten.
