From the Inside Out: Irit Dulman

"Looking at Irit’s works - the colors, prints, textures and fabrics – one finds magic. It is everywhere: in the dyed felt, in objects that Irit designs and the natural dyes she produces herself. It is also present in the body movement of the women who wear her garments, the fabric textures, images and different times that are mixed into each other. History, memories, transparency and flexibility are all here. The fabrics are the delicate skin, the prints with leaf and root images are living body tattoos, the warm hues are the earth and the forests.

Scarecrow's Garden: Chook Sprouts

From: A Guide to Organic Living in Australia by Michael J Roads. I first read that book in the eighties and ever since have sprouted wheat for my chooks in the summer months.

So I thought it was high time I did the actual review so that I didn’t have to champion the book one person at a time at the airport. I can review it, and now you guys can talk to the person next to you on the bus or the airplane… I could make this review really short: buy both books. Vaneetha Rendall - choosing joy.

What good was making a book going to do? It’s not like a book can stop a rainbow…Maybe the pig wanted me to bring this to the attention of the world? Maybe I just needed to finance a quest to go kill the vile beast? Either way, I couldn’t do anything without real supplies. Hannah Lamb: patina.

These soft covered notebooks are decorated front and back with hand decorated paper and my carved stamps. My thinking is that they would be perfect to tuck inside a purse or a bag for note taking.

You'd be Surprised.

I joked, “If herpes was a color, it’d be that orangey-pink.” But my friend stayed quiet in the drivers seat. Stupidly, I kept talking, sharing my disgust for the scene outside my window, “You’ve gotta be some kind of desperate to pay for sex. Who does that, anyway? What kind of guy uses a hooker?!” “You’d be surprised…” is all he said. And I assumed he was talking about the mayor of San Francisco…or Kevin Bacon, or something.

New Challenge for July. Dear Bloggers and Friends, well, it looked a bit like the hot temperatures (and then maybe the terrible floodings) during the first half of June kept a lot of you away from their workdesks, since we only got few entries for our monthly challenge then (we already wondered if we chose a theme that wasn't up to your taste at all).

But then the second half of June has shown us that you are all still with us - THANK YOU all so much for the marvelous projects you have once more entered to our June challenge! You can guess that it will be hard to select the TOP 3 (as usual;) - which will be anounced within a week. So this month's challenge theme wants you to. Midori TN Free Inserts. In july 2013 I discovered the Midori style travelers notebook. I immediately fell in love with the ease and flexibility of the system and as I was on the lookout for a way to organize myself and declutter my mind, I figured I would give it a go. I made a trial version using scrap leather and sizes derived from my own file folder booklets and then, of course, I was hooked. It's a great system and so very versatile. Next I made some versions from an old suitcase.
