This guy knows the art of quilting.
His style reminds me of him.

Don't forget to wear green....or else.

Tomorrow, this will be me. Bradin and I leave for Vegas early Sunday morning. I would say it's not the most ideal place for me to go on vacation, but how can I beat a good deal. We are just thankful to get away from the gloom. I heard on the news that there is a chance of arctic weather here next week. Arctic? For some reason I thought it was March, but I guess it's too much to ask for here. With that said, I will be more than happy to go and spend some time in a warm environment.

lovely...

Barbara Munsel's handmade apparel, simply beautiful.

I Like Your Scarf

How great is this print? Just came in the mail and it's beautiful. It is printed on a poly cotton canvas which makes the print look more like a painting. Ashely G has many more great prints you can check out here.

This photobooth series is worth a look.

Favorite Mugs

When I was studying at the university here in Missoula I had the pleasure of taking a workshop from ceramic artist Ayumi Horie. I instantly fell in love with her style and have been supporting her since. She has quite a following, so if you are interested in her stuff my suggestion would be to sign up for her mailing list. Be quick if you want to buy anything, she sells out fast. 

My hope is to litter my cabinet with her things someday.....thus far I have only two mugs. 

Alyson Fox

I am enamored with her prints. She also has a clothing collection you can check out here. I was entertained by the unique way she demonstrated her clothing line. So make sure you let it fully download, then click on collection to see her snippets.

Vladimir

I'm sure we all remember the old view masters from our childhood. Well, Portland based artist Vladimir handmakes her own view master reels. Each set contains original music to accompany the reels. I like Fear & Trembling, an interesting take on a dinner party, but I find them all intriguing.

Happy New Year! Maybe you can start it out with a Vladmaster.
