Book oragami

I love this idea shown on Recycleart. This would be a fun project to tackle with an old book, I wonder how difficult it would be?

Sweet little drooler

Nicholas is a drool monkey! Drops of drool are constantly hanging from his chin and with just one hug they end up on my shirt. I love this boy!

My etsy shop!

I have officially created an ETSY shop. It was a goal for 2011 and I am happy to say I've started it!!! Woohoo. You can check out the shop here.

I've name my shop Painted Orange after a conversation Geoff and I have many years ago when we worked at Epék. Geoff was trying to convince me and others that oranges were not really orange and that the grocery stores painted them orange so people would buy them. He swore that if you looked carefully you could see green underneath the orange, and he read it on the internet...so it must be true. Anyway, I liked the irony and decided this would be a great name for my shop.

I intend to update it often with lots of handmade items but I've started out with a few earrings. Thanks for looking and yeah for 2011!
