Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays - and tomorrow happens to be Canadian Thanksgiving, and I happen to be Canadian. So today I give thanks to the Canada-based artists above. Press play below to listen to my new favorite Canadian band, Great Diviners! Check them out on Myspace, too.

Possibilities

Staying positive helps keep yourself open to possibilities. Need a little more inspiration? This book, The Art of Possiblity, has really helped me gain a new perspective.

I'm sorry goldschool students!

I've been very deliquent with my blog since moving to Brooklyn and starting my job at Etsy.
But no more! I promise to post at least once a week.  I think since I'm also writing for the Storque, I'll make this blog a bit more personal.  A sort of my daily life + things I find that I love.

For instance! Yesterday I took a Puppet Posse class at the EtsyLabs from Crankbunny.  A local animator and illustrator extraordinaire! Check out her beauteous pop-up cards and puppets:

 

I wen't home and made a paper puppet of a waterbear.  I'll post a pick once I've colored it!
