My Third iPod Case

Made from a wide woven ribbon, and a rectangular piece of cloth that would not fray. Hand stitched, windows reinforced with hand stitches, sides enclosed with a decorative stitch.

Screen Printing How to: #1

Here is a slide show, documenting the building of a screen. It was supposed to be the first in a series, but I ended up moving to Australia. I may, some day, continue with it. But it's not the pressing matter it once was.

Chandrasekhar's Hearts

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was the Nobel Laureate for his work in the theoretical structure and evolution of stars

Small Universe: Tiny Galaxies

is a collaboration between Chelsey Hyatt and Courtney Matzke. It is primarily inspired by Stephen Hawking, who believes one could say: "the boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary." In this scenario, the universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. Our resin cast galaxy necklaces, Chandrasekhar's Hearts, reflect the concept that while the galaxy is vast, we are encrypted in ourselves, our communities, our beliefs, and so on. And that containment extends a beautiful mystery to the grand scheme of things.

The collaboration between Courtney Matzke and myself took place for the Pink Light Bazaar in Orlando, Florida, on June 5th, at Red Light Red Light. I am home again...

Specimen for Errol

If I could make a place
Where the wonder of what's inside





Made everyone want to take a look
I'd give it to you inside a book





That you can open from time to time
To redefine the things inside







As creatures: friend or foe
Or as captive audience for your next show









To take along or leave behind
Or to be replaced with new things you find.

Thank you, dear friend

A package from Haylie to me, while I was in Sydney.
