Whole Earth

I just revisited my copy of the Whole Earth Catalog. I always find it enlightening and genuine in spirit. Where is the 2009 iteration/compilation? or is there?

I gave a talk tonight in front of a crowd. I've been so anxious but it's over!

It seems as though everyone close to me is pregnant!

Two salads worth trying.

Take a look at Ms. Gauthier's lovely cookbook——it just needs a publisher!

Y & Z

Pages scanned from The ABC's of Origami: Paper Folding for Children.
by Claude Sarasas/Charles Tuttle Company, Inc./1964

Look at these folks from the British Origami Society; this this guy is my favorite.

Cat & mouse and money tricks!

four years

Commencement is today. I'll miss this group of fine people and talented designers.

pre-office cleanout!

I share an office with five others——lots of accumulation and layering occurs in a schoolyear (Booo, I'm the main culprit for the mass paper heaps). This is the time to cleanout, but first a break is necessary.

this morning

Aristocratic Vegetables!

Yes, Common things do have secrets...!

All scanned from my favorite books: 'Books of Knowledge'.

traffic

This guy's bumper is very amusing!

typing lessons

from my sewingbox

fronts + backs of various clothing tags (the backsides look like mini abstract paintings) + a panda paperdoll!

machines

always a good show

Here's a few parade images from this year's Mayday Festival—unfortunately I didn't photograph the dung beetles and balls-o-poop for you all.

Next year I may try out my stilt skills!

end papers

All end papers are from this site which I stumbled upon today. I'd like to see more from the saucy Dutch Treat Club.

This drawger show looks fun too!
