Valentines Ideas

I want too get making!! hmmm buttons!

Politics can make beautiful art...

Politics can make beautiful art...

I recently got reminded of some amazing craft artists by flipping through this book....
and saw the work of Margarita Cabrera a Mexican born artist who made a body of work which is...
appliances made from sweatshop labourers in Mexican villages, she purchases the product, partially hand makes them with thread and fabric and the reincorporates this into the original object... commenting on labor and border politics....


She has also made VW's, tractors, bikes, and hummers!!!


She has also done a series of Desert Plants, and since I am currently both sewing and knitting a plant I was excited....
For more on Margarita check out her gallery....

Daydreaming of some new ink...

 While I consider myself a loyal person in many senses of the word, I go through phases of adoration/intolerance more regularly than I'd like to admit.

In any case, I'm in continual admiration of those who I feel for one reason or another have essentially gotten it right. Meaning, if I were them, I'd think that tattoo could keep me happy for a lifetime. I have a great deal of respect for these people who got it right and maybe even a little envy of their fearlessness.

Awesome wedding day idea!! ...see ya xx
