I stumbled upon this awesome blog of cat scans- scanned cats that is. They make really interesting images, but it must have been very difficult to get these shots at all. Cats are hard to corner. Head over to The Cat Scan to check it out.
Etsy Friday has pretty much fizzled out, but I have been creating Treasuries on Etsy, and I thought I would share them here. I love school supplies and empty books- ready for musings or drawings or numbers. A new journal is just the ticket! See the treasury here on Etsy.

I love the lines and colors of this photograph
I’m also missing being on vacation and on the water today, I suppose.

I really enjoyed reading this article on Craft about how to price your work. It also helps you figure out your hourly rate. Super helpful and informative for crafters and designers alike.

This is a very interesting video about performance artist, Keira Rathbone, who creates art with a typewriter. She performs in historically appropriate clothing when she creates it, but the amazing thing is the images she creates with the typewriter. Which is the real art? The process or the product?

It’s pretty awesome that the NY Times has published this guide to rewiring a lamp. While, having three experts to call when having a diy project like this is a luxury afforded only to reporters, it’s actually a good guide to the technical side of rewiring a lamp. There are so many beautiful things that we throw away instead of fixing or finding other purposes for- it’s nice to see this article.
Seeing that it’s Earth Day, I’m looking for some other great projects for reusing materials that I have around.
Recycled Lightbulb Chandelier from Readymade. I pretty much all things light related, and I hate throwing away old light bulbs, so this chandelier is the optimal project for me! I can’t wait to amass the amount of light bulbs I will need to make this for my studio!

Monogrammed napkins from a vintage sheet by Leethal. Genius! They are so pretty and are so eye catching as napkins. I think I’m going to try to make these this weekend!
Have a happy Earth Day!

I thought this Etsy Friday I would share a few geeky thing that I’ve been eyeing on Etsy. Gotta wear your geek proudly, ya know?
This Recycled Circuit Board Necklace by Amanda Preske is a favorite of mine. I actually just bought several things from her shop- I love how she reuses circuit-boards, but also how modern and funky the patterns are. Also- as a shop owner, she was a delight to do business with.

I’m a complete Radiolab addict. I just listened to their most recent episode, and it had a really interesting piece where they interviewed Elizabeth Gilbert (of Eat Pray Love fame) about creativity and inspiration. Or- how to live a fully creative life without cutting your ear off. Definitely worth the listen, and if you like it- be sure to listen to more! Every episode is educational and inspiration. Listen to it here.
