anna see.

I'm liking these bird woodcuts from anna see. If you're in portland, you can see them in real life at the ever wonderful ink and peat.

   

bird's nest soup.

Hi friends! A quick note to let you know that I've started another blog called bird's nest soup. Basically it's just a place to capture everything that catches my eye that isn't about art or craft. Clothes that fuel my unending search for the perfect uniform, baubles I want to wear as compared to those I simply appreciate as art forms, recipes I imagine I'll make sometime. I hope you'll stop by for a quick look some time!

Ok this "all the rain makes it greener here" line is getting very tired and sad. It's officially warm and sunny almost everywhere else in the country, even alaska for god's sake! And the forecast is that it's going to get "rainier" mid-week. Is that even possible? Yikes!

Which means it's time to look at happy, cheery art. Thanks to these sweet posters from izzy matthews (top) and lisa barnes-orlandi (bottom) I'm feeling better, if not dry, already.
