two photos from the beach. i didnt take as many photos as i would have liked while on my recent trip to texas, but these were simple and beautiful to me. so, here i share.

mary elkins

by far mary's most famous work to date. accepted into multiple well-known exhibitions. so beautiful.

"extension of a womans self." installation of slip cast crocheted houses;homes. {proud to own one of these!}

organizing imaginary space (in progress)

this is merely a "sketch" by mary for a larger more complete project. beautiful nonetheless.

crocheted brick wall (growing project)

chair made of movie tickets (current work in process)

meet my good friend mary. this girl is incredible. currently working on her masters at virginia commonwealth, she works primarily with clay and fibers {sometimes simultaneously}.

this year i received some pretty incredible gifts for my birthday. amazing enough that i thought i should share with you and show a bit of appreciation.

included in the photo is a new {much needed and larger} french press from jonathan. he also printed photos and updated the frames around our house as an added gift {hence the framed photo of the girls}, abby made an incredible hardbound book for me {that is blank inside} which probably deserves its own photo, the book and the precious stuffed owl were from both abby and suzanne. raine made a halloween themed triptych to give me, you can only see part of it in the background {it includes a bat (shown), a witch on a broom, and two cats}, also, my incredible inlaws surprised me with a cast iron chimenea, my mother bought me a ton of new clothes, pops sent money, and on top of it all, i was fed mexican and american delicacies for lunch and dinner!!

DSC03477here are some photos of a project i completed a few weeks ago. i dont have the final piece photographed yet. im hoping to use a documenting station on campus that will allow for some amazing photos. so hopefully you can see that soon! until then, here is a glimpse, which seems to be all i have been showing you lately. sorry about that.

griesse watermelons

our friends jonathan and valerie griesse harvested a beautiful garden this past summer, included in that was a surplus of watermelon. we were lucky enough to share in the opening of the “best” one last week while raine partook in her own mini-melon.

in one day…

we began the day with painting halloween decor, then headed to fayetteville to meander on some beautiful trails, eventually making our way to the library (for the restroom?)...

we left the library and began to walk to ddp gallery....

after leaving the library we began to walk to ddp gallery....

we were briefly distracted by kathy p. thompson studio windows. they offered much inspiration and beauty!

after the nice gallery visit, we followed the sounds of music....

after all of this, we returned home for a brief moment of rest, then went to jonathan’s parents house for a ridiculously long night of games, good food and crazy entertainment.

ducks like croutons…

ezmah was in awe and raine ran out of croutons too fast!

our big trip to colorado. these photos only scratch the surface of what we did the entire time we were there. for a trip that we almost didnt take…i think we had a great time.

does it get any better than this? ive been burning to create this sort of performance/living art for a few months now. one of my plans is to place an empty strip of primed canvas in a highly trafficked area and let the canvas be created by the elements its surrounded by. essentially…leave a snail trail. i cannot express to you how much seeing Semâ Bekirovic‘s piece excites me!

Found via nazara lazaro via joanne

i took these several months ago and recently came across them again. i find them stunning. i hope to make some etchings from this inspiration.

above the bed…

dsc02834

…oh yes…we had a bat fly in our house yesterday after leaving the doors wide open to let fresh air in. he (or she) decided to cozy up right above our bed, luckily we just had to open the door until it frantically flew out of the house. im not sure who was freaked out more, us or the bat. i have to give credit to jonathan for sneaking into the room with the camera so he could take this picture!

here are the images of the ice storm we had earlier this week. we are still very far from having cleaned up the mess of branches that have fallen everywhere.  These pictures depict the beautiful side of the storm…i tried to leave the nasty side out (i think for the sake of optimism).

:raines birthday:

she knows shes cute

today is my daughter’s 6th birthday. theres nothing more true than the cliche of time flying, and days like this only justify it happening.

happy birthday raine!
