He wears his stripped sweater, hat, and scarf as a necessity because he is always cold.

Empty Promises/Nude Creations

I always write about projects that I've started on the blog and then promise to show you. Then they turn out terribly and I'm so embarrassed I never show you. Last time I said I was working on some graffiti inspired art. Well here it is in all it's glory. It turned out to look like really bad '80s contemporary art not even worthy of hanging in my dentist office. (Sigh, c'est la vie)


Today I went to the library and I decided to take one of my creations on a walk along the way. It is finally warm enough to wear the clothing that I've made over the cold spring. It stretched a little as I continued my day, but other than that it was great. I got 2 compliments, which is always nice.

I always feel like I'm not wearing anything, when I wear something I've made. It's as if anything that I've created can't be any better than a sheet or towel wrapped around you and people are probably thinking that I'm just wearing a bunch of fabric draped over myself. So I basically felt naked while at the library.



(So my parents are planning on putting the house up for sale and my boyfriend knew about it before I did, and I live there! (sometimes) grrrrrr)

inspiration + Lois Lowry+love

I'm working on some SheOne inspired art right now. I'm also listening to this. I just finished listening to Messenger by Lois Lowry on my ipod. I'll level with you, Messenger was awesome. I loved it. It is a book that contains some of the main characters from The Giver by Lois Lowry. The Giver is the book that inspired me to read. From what I've heard of Gathering Blue, it's not as good. If anyone wants to know what I end up thinking about it you can add me on goodreads.com and see my rating.

I'll post something about how my artwork ends up, if it is okay looking.

I'm also cooking a quiche right now. I LOVE summer! I have time to do the things I want to do! FINALLY

A little library culture

So I saw this picture while I was on the St. Louis County Library's website, here.

Best picture of April 2008 for sure. I wish I could have been there.

I was on the St. Louis County Library's website looking up books on graffiti. I want to read some biographies on graffiti artists. I think that sounds interesting. It's not like I have two books that are waiting to be read on my desk or anything.

So encase you were wondering here is what I'm reading now.


I'm not even on page 100 so don't ask what I think about it quite yet. I will tell you it is about Bruce, who grew up Jewish but is not practicing anymore goes to the middle east to explore where the first five books, the books of Torah took place. It is really interesting reading it from a somewhat neutral point of view. Here is a great excerpt from what I read today...(Bruce Feiler is interviewing an archaeologist who he met while in Beersheba, Eliezer Oren. He has a Ph. D. and attended Harvard, NYU, and Penn.)
"I'm going through a certain transformation," Eliezer said. "When I was younger, I was in my rebellious phase. In my lectures, I kept saying that since we don't have evidence, these stories did not take place. That goes for patriarchs, the Exodus. The older I get, perhaps I get more stupid. But I feel that my archaeological experience only enhances my understanding that even if I cannot relate a certain event, or personality, in the Bible with a specific archaeological stratum, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the question is this: Is the Bible unusual for its time and place? And the answer is: It's not. It's part of it. Dating is becoming secondary in my opinion. When I'm digging here, I'm digging with Abraham."
"So what effect has that had on your faith?" I asked.
"Those are different camps, " he said. "But I can tell you this: today I treat the Bible with much more respect."
"Can you give it a grade, in terms of archaeological accuracy?"
For the first time all morning he grinned. "A plus plus."

How is that for food for thought.

This is the second book I have in line to read....

I know I have very eclectic taste and like to read a wide variety of things.

While on the library website I was looking at books like this...

I don't know if any of these are good, or what they are really about, I'm just exploring for now.
