What are you doing this weekend? I am participating in an ancient ceremony tonight….as part of another new Studio ‘g’ column. I am excited to introduce it and the columnist who will be creating it, to you on Monday! Until then, here are a few links…..
- As a certifiable list keeper, this, from one of my favorite writers, charms me.
- I’ve seen alot of this kind of thing lately…..tell me, do you think it is a trend in floral design?
- No more Latin!!
- I was reminded of this post today — and it still makes me smile.
- A planter DIY that I need to try soon.
- I have been obsessed with Bug Houses this week….I also wrote about them on Apartment Therapy this week.
- And I thought my grandparents grew up in a Black and White world? Love seeing it in color.
- Clever idea for standing around (rather than sitting around) the garden.

This is perhaps the most exciting thing I’ve seen in months. I was an art major in college and painted a lot after college, but eventually the sinking feeling that I was taking perfectly good cotton and rendering it trash by coating it with acrylic paints took its toll- I stopped painting. I did glass sculpture for a while, and tried welding and ironwork. Loved them all, but kept thinking about the energy required to heat the kilns/furnaces. More recently I’ve been working with textiles- raincoats from bubblewrap and all that, which is fun but less whimsical in production than I’d like. But here! Here is an art form that both speaks to me and ADDS to the glory of the world rather than sponging off it. I can’t wait to see where this leads me. Thanks for sharing.
