FIBER

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Finally got me some fiber art!

Too bad it’s super vertical and no good for the fireplace.

I was trolling Etsy (after they contacted me about doing a Get the Look Decor feature on their bloggity) and found this long jute-y dreamboat for only $30.

Yeah. Chunky and oh so brown town.

Just the way I like my textile art.

Love the little hand sewn copyright symbol and Don Freedman signature bead.

Oh, the 1970′s. You were so great.

Don Freedman designed a bunch of kooky textile art for Interlude in the 70′s and 80′s (which was published SIMULTANEOUSLY in the US and Canada, as if you even had to ask).

Fancy, indeed.

Handmade with jute and a few wooden bars, this fiber wall hanging is perfectly beefy with just a hint of musty.

It’s airing out though.

Loving all that thread work on the back.

Bowie really likes it.

I really like it.

It’s living in the guest bedroom for now.

ETSY, GUEST CURATOR

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

I got my guest curator on and threw together (just a few) of my favorite things over on the Etsy blog.

Check it up – there is some good stuff. (like that Shriner painting? COME ON)

If you’ve clicked over from Etsy, well, hey there. Come on in and get comfy. Maybe check out some of my favorite things at BRICKHOUSE MODERN or tootle around some of my DIY tutorials. Whatever floats your boat – you control the internet!

The Fourth

I’ve always been a big fan of the fourth of July – its just a kitschy good time. I love a good BBQ and fireworks show, or a nice dip in the pool on a lazy holiday.

Well nope, none of that for me this year (or last year or any foreseeable summer in the near future). I totally have to work. Maybe if I accessorize a little more patriotically my overlords might let me celebrate…

Vintage patriotic accessories are no good without the fourth – or a national election. I imagine it would be difficult to work these into an everyday outfit.

Have a rad fourth!
