this is cassini's division.

i entered this design into spoonflower's fabric of the week contest! the theme was celestial and the artwork had to be created by hand, so i made these little watercolor meteorites flying through the rings of saturn, scanned them in and then played with the color in photoshop. i'm pretty happy with the results! if you want to vote for me {please!} click here and scroll down to find my design. if i win i get a free yard of fabric and i'll show you guys what amazing thing i make with it. vote!

the crystal cure.

the natural quartz crystal symbolizes white light energy and is one of the most sacred stones of ancient cultures. its clarity and transparency give it a mirror quality through which things can be seen clearly. quartz crystals are used for protection and capturing bad vibrations. stronger quartz clusters are used to enhance harmony and cooperation and helps retain a positive life force.

the great googly-eye giveaway.

hello friends! last night i tried to straighten up my art-work-area {a.k.a. the whole living room}. however, i got side-tracked...gluing googly-eyes to a bunch of 20th century art postcards of course! well right then i figured that it was about time for my very first now voyager giveaway! so, wonderful lookers and readers, leave a comment sometime this weekend and check back on monday when i'll randomly pick 4 people to send mail to. you'll be the envy of all your studio-mates!

the universe is expanding.

annie hall is the best movie. it always cheers me up when i'm depressed about how someday the universe will "break apart and that will be the end of everything."
