Abstract Expressionists Stamp



I love stamps. All different kinds of stamps. I love that we honor the people in our culture who do great things by putting them on our letters. Little, tiny homages zooming about on pieces of paper. But OMG for the abstract painter, today is a lovely day. I went to the post office and lo and behold there it was: a sheet of Rothko, Joan Mitchell, Motherwell, de Kooning, Newman, Pollock, Gorky, etc. The Motherwell stamp might be my favorite because of its boldness and scale. Read more about the stamps here. See the whole sheet here. read more

Skirty skirt

Spring has sprung. Here is my new skirt. Upon looking at the cut fabric, my friend, Y, and I were sure that it would be very Urban Outfitters (and maybe that wasn’t such a good thing…) But as it turns out, it is more Neiman’s than Urban. I based the pattern on the Sew What! Skirts book- the A-Line guidelines. See more skirts from Sew What! that others have made here. So, I learned how to make a custom pattern. And the skirt cost less to make than any skirt at Target (I think I spent $16) and it fits well. Yippee!
