Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I would knit this Möbius scarf if I were a knitter.  The accomplished fiber artist at Catena Expressions asked me my favorite color.

Wardrobe Refashion is a group weblog with an interesting premise: the people involved “Pledge that I shall refashion, renovate, recycle pre-loved items for myself.”

As part of my participation in Laboratory 555: Chronicles of a Year-Long Online Art Retreat, I took photos of the room that I use as my office and craft room. This morning I posted them as a photoset on Flickr: Office and Craft Room.
