decoupage collage

decollage, originally uploaded by mintyfresh.

once upon a time I worked in technology, and their idea of teambuilding was going to the opening of a star wars film together (note: I still have yet to ever see one, so I guess THAT didn’t work) or playing videogames in the boardroom.

enter the performing arts: the team that works together, makes art together! Erm, well, separately, but in the same room, at least. A departure? Perhaps. Idea? Good. My execution? Lame. More practice required.

Revolutionary Art: All About Bicycles

Jun 30 2008 Published by under art,goings on

This Friday, July 4th, a ton of local artists will be opening a show at Cyclelogik, a new mostly bike shop / kindof coffee bar in Wellington Village to celebrate their grand opening. Running with a theme of “Bicycles” you’ll see work from local artists, jewelry designers, fashion designers, textile artists, photographers and more – including me!

Since I know the first thing *I* do when faced with a giant list of artists is try and figure out who they are and if I already know their work, I’m including some handy links for you below for artists whose websites I could find without having to resort to googling obscure text strings. Enjoy! And I hope to see you there. Come say hello!

an etsy love affair

When etsy first arrived on the scene, I immediately signed up as a member (obviously) and was super cynical. It seems to have worked it’s way through the initial kinks that totally put me off the service, and now it’s the prime location for tons of cool things! Flush with a brimming paypal account (my biggest weakness), etsy and I have been good friends lately. Here are just some of the things I haven’t been able to live without!

tune in again soon to see what other etsy items I’ve been hoarding!
