Modern Cat

The other day I popped by my friend Kate’s studio called Modern Cat. Modern indeed! I was so impressed with her digs at Braggs Pie Factory on Grand Ave. that I had to take a couple pics of it all. She has the set up! She also took one of my Ellison Die Presses off of my hands. With all the new toys in my studio I had to make some room. So the last pic is of my press on a cart rolling into it’s new home inside her studio. Kate will make a good home for it.

Willow Homes: Art and Crafts

The down-town Phoenix historic district called Willow had a home tour this weekend and as part of that the streets were closed off to raise tents for artists and crafters to sell their wares. I was happy to see all the goods for sale by local folks. I popped down with some girlfriends for the walk-about. We took a pack of dogs owned by our friend Jeff from Blabbermouth AZ – he lives in the hood! I discovered a bunch of goodies on the tour and loved chatting with all my peeps. Who’s in the photos: The charming handcrafted confections of Little Addictions, The floral accessories of Zebra Finch, The smart and crafty calendars by the Artsy Fartsy Fairy, The sweet little pins and art by Jolie Jour and The goodies from Modern Cat.
