Show us a great April Fools' Day joke.
"C’mon, you didn’t think we’d make you endure all those battery packs and then make the BOC sales fake, didja? Actually, that sounds exactly like something we’d do. But not today, friend. Not today. If you manage to get an order in, and we accept it, and you don’t do anything foolish like move house or die in the next few weeks, crap shall be yours..."
Well. Yes. Actually
[insert a big ole Mr. Yuk sticker here]
Show us your favorite t-shirt.
This skirt was sewn from a recycled tee shirt and hand painted as shown.
Measurements for this skirt are:
Waist / High Hip: 30"
Hip: 34"
Overall Length: 21"
The drawstring ruching allows this skirt to be worn in a variety of ways - from the most daring to a more modest cut at the waist and knee.
I absolutely think that this is one of my favorite designs. Trust me when I say that it looks HOT! and I'm ultra-excited to be taking it to Hawaii.

Show us your job.
I'm a freelance artist, illustrator and designer, garnering most of my work from one end of the fashion industry or another. Between gigs you'll find me working on my stock portfolio at iStockPhoto.
Because I've been feeling more like a production artist breaking up so many of the collections of fashion/production flats in my stock portfolio, I decided to give myself a break by rustling up some of my original cartoons and giving them a new life in completed tech packs. These tech packs are something totally new in the iStock collection. They are currently pending inspection and approval.
Of course the artwork is also pending for all 3 styles
As is the collection of production flats
Simplified production flats are also in the queue for each pajama set
Please watch this space. I'll let you know when they are approved
Yep. I am one of the finalists and I promise, if I win the camera, I will try to take much better photos so you don't have to look at my crappy snaps anymore. ;)
So [please] get out and vote.

See me: I'm like begging peeps.
Show us the best Halloween costume you've seen today.
Fright Nite's Hag of the Month
Yes - That's my husband, the insurance executive, dressed for his day at the office. Interesting: Fright Nite Magazine, Entertainment for Ghouls, nominated him for Hag of the Month. ***go figure***
Behind the Mask...
Yesterday my husband phoned on his way home from the office and told me he needed a costume because they were strongly encouraging all of their employees to have fun and embrace the day.
After spending 2 hours in WalMart last night this is what we came up with. Mask, Wig, Nightie, Tights and [size 12] Sneakers. The walking stick is a hand-carved thing from the 70's and quite a find if you're into Totems and American Indian inspired art. The rest of his garb is [pretty much] a collection of my cast offs that had been collected in a box in the basement for no particularly good reason. Anyway - It's all for the good. He's having a ton of fun and [maybe] a bit too much.
He's got crap in that bag the likes of which you would not believe. Broken watches, bottle caps, a ton of promo crap from various insurance companies that they represent, some kind of dried flower buds, a jar of dryer lint, and I don't know what else. He's planning on handing all of this crap out to the employees as treats.
Honestly - I can't wait for him to get home so I can hear all of the stories of the employees' reactions. Too: he was planning on visiting some long time, favorite clients in this get up. That should definitely increase the OMG factor by 50% or so.
Show us your secret ingredient.
Well then it would no longer be a secret and that would be sad. Still, I'll leave you with one.
Saffron. More precious than gold.
The red-gold threads were highly prized by pharoahs and kings as an aphrodisiac, yet large amounts produce deathly narcotic effects.
Saffron has been used medicinally to reduce fevers, cramps and enlarged livers, and to calm nerves. It has also been used externally to for bruises, rheumatism, and neuralgia. (Warning! Do not use medicinally without consulting your physician.)
Show us something you made by hand.
Well this is old news for most in my neighborhood but here you go...
Completely engineered in the space between my brain and hands. You can get the juice here. But - to make a long story short - she's a fully functional, pleated shade. All 44" x 65" of her. You can see additional examples of my custom window dressings here
