Love is in the Air

I made a pair of love cards for a fab new couple Carlos & Sonia. I even got to attend their wedding at City Hall today. 

Very Fun! There was even a group of tourists taking photos!
The project called for matching cards that would be momentos. Classy and simple. Black & White were the colors. 
See what I did!

Inspiration through PRIDE

I was blown away by the beautiful store windows at Macy's in my town!

Celebrating Pride and doing it with style. The mannequin in green is surrounded by crumpled sheets of butcher paper...way cool!

Pride_joy can you see my reflection in the Pride + Joy window? With that woman looking, how mysterious & exciting! I am my own Paparazzi!




Peace. Pride + Joy

New Color in the Garden

I was working in the Bayview neighborhood today at one of my most loyal clients.

Pugs_yard_051509 Lo and behold I got to use some fancy & colorful pruners my mom got for me. Color_pruners They are called Pretty Useful Tools from a company called Wild & Wolf. Very cool. They really brightened up the job.

See, just when you think life is always the same, a surprise comes with color. Yay!

Wow People in the Backyard!

I also do yardwork when I'm not working with paper.

I recently started getting jobs through the company Labor Fair.

Check out my profile.

My client on Thursday had me weed her backyard. About 4 hours later, she came out of the house and said WOW because I had cleared the backyard of many of the weeds that made their way among the bricks. They turned her backyard oasis into a jungle of despair. When she said WOW and sang a little song, I got excited and could see the result of my work.

WEEDS be gone! You have no power over me! Let the sunshine in! Bring on the spring.

Contact me if you need someone to tackle the weeds in your front or backyard!

I just had to share this moment of pride! Peace my gardening peeps.

Another Easter Creation!

Look at this greeting card that doubles as a display piece and a re-usable piece of art.
First, start with the supplies:
Eatt09_tools  8.5 sheets of yellow and green paper.
  tube of white glue.
  double-stick tape.
  egg shaped circle
  pink sharpie.
  Paper Source Table Tents
  Shipping Envelopes.
                           Envelope labels.

The finished work looks like this.
Side A:
Eatt09_a

    Side B: Eatt09_b

And you paperclip the bottom to make it stay together and stand up!

When Easter is over, you turn the card inside out and voila...you have a blank canvas to create your own masterpiece!
Email me with questions.

Remember, to Unfold the Possibilities!

I made something! FINALLY!

I just back from one of the best Easter's I've had in Aptos, California. My mom lives there and my brother and his wife live in Watsonville.

Why was it the best? Because I was living in the NOW and not making my family members bad or wrong with my life choices. Sure, my mom is way concerned with my lack of full time work, but at least I know I'm headed in the right direction. No matter what the "economy" or "market" is doing, I KNOW THAT THE UNIVERSE IS SUPPORTING ME!

With a few raw materials: 8.5x11 sheet of yellow paper, double stick tape, a pot of wheatgrass (found in the produce aisle in grocery store), jellybeans, a napkin, scissors, glue and a little imagination:E_basket_tools




Look at this fun Easter table centerpiece I made: E_basket1E_basket_finished E_basket_jbeans

You too could make this!

 

Go on Use your mind and Unfold the Possibilities!

Contact me with questions. I'd be glad to inspire you!
