Let it swim
Found this pretty and fun paper dress at the Papyrus show window in upper east side. Caught my eye. It looks like it was made out of scrap papers or misprint papers all cut out to circles. Being a recycle supporter, I think it’s such a cool way to use waste papers :) It also made the dress in fun colors and gave the fish-scale-like texture which I like!
and it has a slit on the side, too.
Wonder if it’s wearable… :)
There are a lot of artists trying to raise funds for Japan Earthquake relief, it is so touching to see! It’s great for us, too, we can shop and be a help at the same time :) Tomoko from TOTA Press is printing a special edition of letterpress cards (see picture above) and 100% of the proceeds go to the American Red Cross.

Last, but definitely not least, oktak is donating 50% of all sales to Japan Earthquake Relief. (she inspired me to do the same!)

Let me know if you are raising funds or if you know of any other artists doing so, I will keep adding links and information here. Thank you so much! and ENJOY shopping for good cause :)
I just couldn’t help but posting these wonderful Modern Stripe Bottle Vase by dahlhaus — every time I look at them, they make me oh, so happy! :)
I can see that the spring is right there, my mind is filled with happy springy colors. The dahlhaus shop carries more ceramics that are inspired by Heaher’s (the artist’s) love of spring and gardens, vintage fabric, modern pop art, and color, if you are in need of feeling some of these love like me, hop on over there! :)
Happy Friday, everyone!
What are your New Year’s resolutions? Do you usually write them down somewhere or just think of them in your head? I usually write them down on my schedule book (and never really get looked back all year), but when I came across this mini notepad that says “2011 resolutions” on Quotes & Notes etsy shop, I thought this may work better, I can hang this on my office wall and be reminded each day.
One of my biggest resolutions of the year is to launch Heartfish Press and there are lots of little resolutions along with the launch… I really should write down all of them.
The other ones include start practicing yoga again, get organized etc. — what are yours? If you’d like to share, please do in the comment area, I’d love to see and get inspired by your resolutions, too! :)
