Might even help me come up with a few ideas for vessels or beads. The Neo Cube is a little pricey, but I think I see one in my future…

cat cuteness

I try to keep my cat-fancying ways to myself, posting only the occasional picture of my fluff-ball boss, but when an old friend sent this image it was so damn cute that I couldn’t resist- the cat looks just like a miniature version of my Chloe and the picture made me smile.

At my house, it’s business as usual when the cat takes over my computer…or anything else that takes my attention away from her.

Humor me. Indulge me. I won’t make you suffer through pet-posts for long. I’ll get over it and back to my art-loving posts tomorrow!

cat + computer = cute

I can’t respond to any emails today. Something has crashed on my computer and the mouse is missing.

Thanks Jean!


the human flipbook

I started collecting flipbooks for my daughter when she was a toddler and I am still mesmerized by them. When I saw that Erbert & Gerbert’s Subs and Clubs, a sandwich chain based in the Midwest, decided to create the first human flipbook as a way to brand their product for television and online audiences I had to take a peek. This video shows the process and the end result…which is well-done and delicious!

music anyone?

Friday afternoon…the weekend is almost here. Why not start playing now? Shh…if you don’t say anything I won’t either. Besides, music is good for the soul, right?

Click on the picture to play the toy piano. I actually remembered how to play ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ from my fourth grade piano lessons and that was a loooooong time ago!
