Thank goodness for etsy, and the fabulous shops that make me feel cooler by just looking at some of the brilliant clothing designs. Chester just informed me that my shirt doesn’t fit anymore – in the front and don’t forget the back he said. (smirk!)

I wish I was wearing this beautiful dress:

Find it’s listing here

I think I’d feel a lot better if I was in this too. Both Dresses are amazing creations by NewExtrave.

These brooches remind me of my friend Claire. They are from a Scotland etsy shop and can be found here.

Speaking of butterflies… aren’t these spectacular?  ! Etsy shop doodlebirdie has lots of wonderous things to look at.

Read about how these butterflies were humanely caught and mounted on these beautiful whitewashed frames here.

Bourgeois’ work has influenced many contemporary surrealist artists using deformity, elasticity, and scale to defy material function and material definition. The context of her sculpture challenged every notion of her human experience, both in physical concept and cerebral concept – usually commenting on dark human emotions through an ‘economy of form’- meaning that her sculptures worked subtly and efficiently, often through coarse interpretation. She was an intellect, educator, and crusader for humanity. I love this quote that i found of hers in an article by Paul Stuart written on the occasion of a year long celebration of her retrospective at the beginning of last year,  ”I could not be a painter. The two dimensions do not satisfy me. I have to have the reality given by the third dimension.” This illustrates my ceramic experience exactly. She wasn’t exclusive to any material or conditional with concept- which is also resonating. Thank-you for your life and your work. 

Rest in peace Louise Bourgeois.

Here are some images i have been looking at, babytime pictures… 

Mama and Babe, print of watercolour 10 x 14 in. Helen Ann Marie Jones

Father and Son, 10 x 14 in. watercolour, Helen Ann Marie Jones

Sand Baby Basic Baby Sling found here on Etsy. Awesome slings for baby-wearing from a veteran mum.

OLIVER! (by Sandbox Society) -I just found him on etsy selling handmade suits for babies. Isn’t he amazing?

When our little baby has their own room I hope to make them beautiful wallpaper like this one from Mod Green Pod. They are an amazing non-toxic water based screen printing company who are basically my idols.

… and in that room I would put up magical art pieces like this drawing by Julie Morstad

A sneek peek inside my new studio – slooooowly moving /  (waddling) in the 7 palettes of studio equipment and supplies into my beautiful new space. Chester has made the most beautiful yellow and red cedar shelves – it’s torture not being able to lift things and organize the space now that I have it! I know, i know, i know.. baby will be here soon, and then life will resume    ? I hope! I love my new green apple planter barrel that my mom dropped off before heading east last month. Thanks mom!

… Speaking of living spaces.

Here are some photos of one of my favourite people’s little home —-> my cousin Elizabeth Olson Glover. Her art of display coupled with her intriguing little collections of the old + new are so perfect. Also some pics of her amazing style.
