today's happy

one. 

Shadow art on the the road. 

There are times I find it so beautifully distracting. 

I would be lying if I said none of these were taken while i was SLOWLY driving.

Now, you will never NOT be able to see it there below you on the street - like endless museum walls all over backroads and throughout town. Click through these photos to see what art the sun tossed down today.

two.
I continue to discover Bethel Music songs that I'm replaying over and over. .. and over again. 






three. 
stepped BACK in my classroom today for the first time this summer.
stacks of boxes were waiting for me  
.. Room 11 is ready to be full of little voices and feets. 
i'm a little giddy inside. 

my sister is mean

saw this commercial a month or so ago.
loved it for a variety of reasons which i won't detail here and bore you.

nonetheless. 
i went about a search for the video on the inter.world. galactic net and this blog post came up
A Car Commercial That Humors Your Shitty Art World Dreams.
it made me laugh .. . quite a lot.
[you must read]


and now i'm stuck in a quandry.
which side do i stand on?

do i need to choose a subaru side anyway?
i think not.
my sister would say i was a loser for even posing that question.
thanks, alli.

mannequins on the toilet

ok. this is AWESOME.
i so miss Polaroid.
but two questions.
Why the creepy mannequin?
and what is with the girl developing a photo on the toilet?

this. makes me smile

i'm not sure why. really
_ but i'm fine with that.
i continue to stare at it.


pretty much know i'll never get the $595.00 to stare at it on my on walls.
there's the same chance of getting a live elephant in my own living room.

wish i was cool enough to hang out in canyons and play the guitar.. . but then again.

when i searched who Little Wings was... i came upon this.. .

maybe he's cool for a special reason

i think it's funny how he says, "musics"

i wanna hang out with him when he's like this.. . 

laugh my tail off!  

"... just like the free country of the dog" ??!?!? 

REALLY?  this made my night. 

Kyle Field, aka Little Wings, is my favorite artist of the month.

this documentary about him is a 'must see' for me. 

"if you don't take money, they can't tell you what to do.. .

that's the key to the whole thing" 

"if we all went out looking like a slob like me, 

it'd be a pretty dreary world." 

loving the work of Inslee.

i MUST order some of these prints. 

21 windows open, waiting to be shared.

All of them patiently perched at the bottom of my screen for their release date.

:Geocaching: 

This is all my sister's doing. 
I don't know a thing about this.. .yet. 
But when I watched the video, i was intrigued. 
.a current day treasure hunt.


i'm headed to the getting started page for more details. 

We're Proud of You.

the first time i saw this commercial i was getting up off the couch.
and i stopped in the middle of the living room. It actually stopped me IN MY TRACKS.
Grabbed me. It's a yogurt commerical, people?!?!
There's always something in my being that wants to hunt down the men and women who work to create "out of the box" ideas. .. 
and just congratulate them.
Give them a big ole hug.
Hang a "We're Proud of you" poster in their office.
I think the Fage people deserve that for this one, don't you?

i should be sleeping, but ... trees

i've always had a fascination with trees. just ask my college roommate. 
she'll tell you some good stories about how i made her look for circles in the rainy trees. 


it's a neat trick, but i don't think she ever saw one. 
they're there. 
you just need to look carefully. 

i'll readily admit it.. . 
i'm a tree nerd. 
i love recognizing the endless types and how every leaf is so very different.
i often stare out as the branches seem to sketch pictures right before my eyes. 
and Yes.. heavenly circles DO form when lit from behind during rainy night.
i dare you to try looking for them.

this painting by Amelia Bauer was just added to my tree collection.

2. POCKETS PROJECT

"We all carry excess baggage with us everyday: keys to forgotten locks, expired chewing gum, intimidating balls of lint. These freeloading objects take our pockets, purses, and bags for granted, weighing us down and holding us back.

The International Association for Empty Pockets is a worldwide movement dedicated to the end of pocket clutter. Contributions to the Pockets Project will form a communal burial ground for the detritus of everyday life – and mark a new era of freedom for your pants.

Our pockets are overflowing. The time to empty is now!

All contributions are welcome. 

Simply sign the Empty Pockets Pledge.. .  and mail your objects to us, or jumpstart your efforts with an Empty Pockets Kit.

Please note that items sent to the project will not be returned but instead turned into a giant art installation.

.I LOVE THIS!

Both projects are sponsored by the ART HOUSE CO.OP 

http://arthousecoop.com/projects

WHAT IS A PROJECT?

"Art House projects are a way to inspire artists to create artwork – whether they are professional artists or just starting out. All of our projects are open to everyone. Find some projects that interest you, sign up, and get creative. Most projects have an exhibition at our home base in Brooklyn, NY. Everyone who participates and sends back their work are included in the exhibitions." 

design in my eye

i stumbled upon the 'Best Part' design blog a few days ago and since then my mind has been spinning with ideas of these two posts. 

i mean SERIOUSLY?! Lace Fencing... . 

then this reclaimed furniture.. 

love how the mismatched ends up matching 

and looking so perfectly lovely together.
