Part motorcycle, part kitchen appliance, Blendzilla is a sort of beautiful monster. Try this at home. Take it on the road.

I can't help but look at what people are wearing around Helsinki this summer. Thanks to vratch for the link!

I love buttons.* The apparently compusive and 3-d thinking Lisa Kokin has found ways to sculpt with the little closures that blow my little mind.

. . . Just sharing my new favorite zine website, Fall of Autumn. Plenty of great resources there: a forum, a distro, a number of tutorials, zine reviews, and best of all, podcasts of various zinesters reading from their work.

All this, and Zinester Hangman.

Garments made from recycled clothing by Ekologic will be shown for a week at punk florists Pi Naturals. The opening is this Friday. My friend Gretchen Bellinger loves what Ekologic does with cashmere, and what Ty of Pi does with flora. Me - I'd love a wheatgrass toupe.

Adorn, a new quarterly crafty-fashion mag, premiered this week... and it's fantastic. The first issue is filled with colorful, clever ideas for embellishing clothes, housewares, and everything in between. And be sure to check out their blog when you have a minute, too!

At 52projects.com I recently wrote about the Mixed Media Memoirs site, a very cool participatory site which posts a topic each week and encourages you to create a work of art based on one your journal entries with that topic in mind. Entries submitted are posted on the site. Melba McMullin was kind enough to ask me to provide this week's topic, and I chose "What Change Do You Witness..." My idea here is that while change sometimes seems sudden, or the realization of a change might just hit you one day, it is often the result of a very long process made up of subtleties and nuance, decisive action as well as adaptation to things that you simply have no control over whatsoever. What is clear to me is that a deeper understanding of how a change occurred will help you either lock it in and grow it (if it's positive) or figure out a way to turn things around (negative). Change is always happening whether you want it to or not. So that is why I ask, "What Change Do You Witness..." I hope you'll participate in this week's Mixed Media Memoirs topic.
