...on how i can make my hair look like this ((i'll keep it brown & curly though)). i'm sure it'll involve thinning & layering. hhmmmm. while we're at it, how 'bout her flawless skin & super cute profile??

have a cool weekend

my friends, what are you up to this weekend? we're going to the Hammer Museum in los angeles to see the etching exhibit, and then to Pizzaria Mozza for what is reportedly some pretty damn good antipasti & pizza. also, i'd love to make some watermelon-prosecco popsicles! i'd love to hear about how you plan to beat the heat this weekend...

treehouses

who hasn't, at some point, dreamed about living in a treehouse? in my neck of the woods in los angeles, there are 2 -- functional & currently being played in -- treehouses. so it wasn't a complete surprise when i literally stumbled upon these two on our recent trip to northern california.

((if you look closely, you can see a string of xmas lights around each window))

..::limited edition feather print::.. available tonight

bring a little nature into your life with this feather print.

this is a hand sketched & hand carved 2 in x 7 in feather ((the detail in this feather is really something, if i do say so myself!)). paper size is standard 8 x 10. each of these prints was individually hand pulled via a vandercook 4 proofing press. hand mixed taupe (pinky-beigy) ink. this is a very small run of 15. each print is signed & numbered.
