1910
I just got a great box of old fabric, it’s very old- 1900-1910 but most of it is unused. The pieces are cut in pattern shapes so I’m guessing it originally came from a tailor’s or dressmaker’s estate. My estate has a lot of birds in it. Anyway, it found it’s way to me and I love the little prints, especially the black and whites. The one on the lower right makes me think of Lena Corwin’s blog ( as always,you can click the image for a better view).
And something else: little bird couples all dressed up and waiting to have their official portrait taken.

This is the daily bird (7pm est) for today, ellie, very happy in her natural habitat.
And speaking of birds that get around check out this field trip.
I finished another new style of cake topper today; something a little simpler.
I Love this vintage blue rose fabric. I got it at the flea market this past weekend. I’ll show you some other good stuff I got later this week.
beautiful day
It was a spectacular day in brooklyn today. I wish I could have spent the whole day outside taking pictures. This is marymargret in Prospect Park.
I was hoping to start my “bird a day” program tomorrow but I’ve got an ad job that I think is going to screw that up.
Besides the gorgeous day today another nice bonus was finding pictures of fantastic paper mache from one of my favorite artists on Flickr here.
shop update
There are a few new things in the shop.
pirate equipment
This sword is for my friend Judah who’s going to be a pirate for halloween.

I finished my owl and there are creepy little spiders, bats and a ghost ship on the way.
