ahem

Ok. So I failed to post for a long, long time again. I have been up to things though! I lost a job, got a (much better) job, moved, redecorated my apartment with actual furniture, bought a laser printer, joined twitter in exchange for Delicious Library, went to DIY for CHI, got some models printed by Shapeways, and built a fantastic Lego brownstone.

And, in case you ever wanted to know what one image of every project I found in my iPhoto library looks like:



now you know.

More posts to come soonish, as usual.

renegade craft fair

Sorry, no clever title for this one. I think "renegade" is a cool enough name for a craft fair all by itself.

The renegade craft fair was held in Brooklyn a couple months ago. It's a really neat gathering of artists and small vendors selling some awesome stuff. Some of which I bought. See below:

The Weekend Store
- Jewelry from old mechanical objects, like typewriters and analog watches.



Book Journals
- Notebooks made from the covers, and a few of the pages, of old books. I found a records management textbook for myself and an old 5th edition webster's for my sister. She also has a (whole) copy of the dictionary that she "inherited" from my mother. But that's another story.



The Intuitive Gardener - Interesting hand painted jewelry.



And, finally....

Compai - designers of really cool remixed clothing. I bought this great off white vest-ish thing. I'll have to find a pic of it on.



From them I found out about Burdastyle. I still have yet to actually sew one of their patterns, but I have plans.
