Aqua Snob
I have to confess that I do love Evian water. I like the softness and the logo brings nostalgic memories of trips to France as a child.
I discovered this cool packaging design and love it!

I often walk past this art center on my way to the gym and wondered what it was all about. Today I went into the gallery and was blown away by the current exhibit. Textiles are the focus of the show and there are amazing quilting, weaving, crochet and embroidery pieces. The studio itself is next door and has a wonderful light, bright feel. I am applying to volunteer!

Sakura Haru Jewelry
Sakura and I had a fun day sooting pics of each other in her fun summer line of jewelry. More comfortable behind the camera, I plucked up the courage to pose for some pics! Sakura makes gorgeous pieces in silver and other metals using precious gemstones. She is available for commission work also. Sakura is working on her new website sakura haru. Check it out!

Austen's Daughter
My most recent collage is inspired by my favorite author, Jane Austen. I am creating a series that is romantic and dream-like. The woven shawls and dresses that will accompany the collages will be feminine but also tattered and weathered in appearance. I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Oh no Picasso Heist!
"An original Picasso artwork worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was taken from a San Francisco art gallery this morning in a brazen daylight heist, S.F. police and the gallery confirmed.
A man walked into the Weinstein Gallery at 383 Geary St. at about 11:40 a.m., plucked the drawing off the wall and left in a taxicab, police said.
A woman who answered the phone at the gallery, but declined to give her name, said it was an original pencil drawing by Pablo Picasso worth “in the couple hundred thousand dollar range.”
Police said witnesses described the suspect as a white man about 6 feet tall, between 32 and 35 years old. The suspect was said to be wearing a dark jacket, light shirt, dark pants, loafers with no socks, and large sunglasses.
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact San Francisco police at (415) 575-4444, text a tip to TIP411 or call 911." SF Examiner
