my boyfriend and his cat Mako

swanson

This is Swanson, he's a kitty, he is named for Ron Swanson. He lived with me for a week or so and made me very sick with allergies but now he's gone and I kind of miss him.

Hey guys, I just printed a zine of my work from this summer! It's full of lots of colorful patterns and girls, and is only $5! You can buy it in my Etsy shop.

The zine has some images from Internet Girls which opens tomorrow night at Habitat. That's me, still in my yoga clothes framing the dozens of little pieces. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Internet Girls

Internet Girls are the result of the cycling of images and tastes through the internet among girls. Internet Girls explores the current state of the Internet Girl. Right now, Internet Girls like vintage things, florals, patterns and textiles, pretty pastries/food, cats, the color pink, lace, and natural earth things (geodes, crystals, plants, succulents, feathers, bones, etc). If my show is any good, it will probably look like your dream bedroom.

Internet Girls will be at 1008 21st St. San Diego, CA 92102 at like 7 pm.

summer bummer

los angeles and crafts

D and I went up to L.A. yesterday for the Renegade Craft Fair. It was like Etsy in real life, some things I loved, and some things not so much. This is what I got! A crystal and "seed bombs" (homemade compost mixed with California wildflowers) from Terri Planty, a zine about making friendship bracelets (screenprinted with a cool gradient), a bird and horse mobile by Hillery Sproatt (really, really want a bunch of her dolls too), and a leather tassel keychain by Carrot + Corriander.



Other highlights:
It was super fun wearing my cat dress because a bunch of people recognized me! It was nice meeting Caitilin of Nice, and I wish I could have bought her Wild Heart banner. Also had fun browsing through my old neighborhood(s), and catching up with old friends from my former life as an L.A. girl. So much has changed in Silverlake, Echo Park, and Little Tokyo in the last 2 years! My favs were IKO IKO for amazing everything, and Wurstküche for the best fries ever.

Spending as much time as I can making new patterns. I wish I could be doing this all the time ... but thanks to everyone who's paying my new school tuition in cat dresses and kitty tees.
