My heart goes out to the people in Japan, and those whose loved ones were affected by the recent disaster.

Ne cede malis. Yield not to misfortune.

First interview as an artist!

I’ve been on the other side of the camera, so to speak, many times. I’ve interviewed doctors, lawyers, graduate students, even a curandero. But this is the first time I’ve been interviewed for MY stuff!

Janelle of Nomad Crafts Etc. put together an interview and some archived photos in her blog. Be sure to check it out for all of my People’s-magazine-worthy dirty little secrets.

If you like what you see, come say hello at my Etsy shop. There will be brand new items posted later this week… stay posted!

Hope you’re all doing something fun and festive on this Christmas Eve.

I am going to be spending all day in the airport, feeling sorry for those who have to work on the holiday. I’m considering bringing around Christmas cards to all the airline workers… Safe travels to those of you who will be spending the day similarly!

Superwomen with Style

As I’m gearing up for my final day of finals, I’ve decided to gift myself a little pick-me-up by sharing a photographer whom many already know and love: Rodney Smith. Possibly one of the most creative and versatile photographers I have ever come across, Rodney Smith’s work is a bottomless pot of inspiration for me whenever my well has run dry. To me, his photographs are a wonderful visual blend of fantasy, vintage fashion, and literature. And he’s got a sense of humor, to boot.

For this post I’ve chosen a few of his many beautiful photographs, all of women. They all look so powerful, don’t they? I want to be one of these smart, savvy females when I grow up…

Don’t forget to check out the rest of his work here….

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
