~*HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!*~



~*Thanks Anne!*~
Anne asked me to find my 6th picture in my 6th file...
These are 2 Canadian kids.
One of which I met when I was painting skateboard decks for fun a few years ago.
He is the one with the drawing on his arm done by his adorable girlfriend.
Thanks for tagging me Anne!
Please visit Anne's tea site Liberteas! If you don't drink tea, it makes lovely potpourri! And if you keep fabric, it makes for a lovely perfume!
New York, where you share your thoughts with every other sound.
Invaded constantly because there is always something going on.
You're trying to squeeze all of your thoughts together but they are always exploding outwards.
Getting away from you.
Never really a part of you?
Just a part of what is next to you.
New York
Just a place to spend some time
How about a life time?
Awoken in the middle of the night, a sudden chill runs up my spine.
I've got to get there. How much time? I am out of time.
Always out of time.
Always in with the Fashion
Statement,
Wouldn't want to be nobody.
What is a nobody in New York?
I wouldn't know.
Because I'm somebody!
On the scene,
All the spoken languages
Turning into meaningless babbles.
All the spoken languages reminds me of how some Mayor once said, "We are a tolerant State".
New York! I feel like quiting but I can't.
Am I addicted?
Could it be that I would just quit anywhere.
You & I, we are so used to our environment.
Always saying that we are getting out,
But we are not, are we.
New York, come and spend some time, share your magazine with the person next to you
While on the train
Taking a ride
Strike up a conversation?
That's not too bad.
Now you're being a New Yorker.
Written by, Francisco- the guy who is pictured way below an another post- making the furniture for me.
Last year I hosted a vintage theme artistic pin and brooch art to wear exchange.
I am doing it again this year- This time, for less pieces and exceptional quality and design!
The jury process will begin in February.
If you are interested, please contact me via the comments, or if you know me, email me!

Well, despite the cold- I am glad to live here most of the time.
We live by LaGuardia airport- So we have "events" from time to time with aircrafts.
I LOVE planes-
I do NOT like to fly anymore though.
It's good to hear a GOOD "crash" emergency landing story!
A happier ending to this ordeal than I was expecting.
~*BRAVO NYC!*~ Rescue services and all other services involved in today's emergency landing!
Although it just took me 10 hours to create the contents and construction of 1 zine, I needed a lot of extra time to complete the rest.
I had done some painful damage to my hands while constructing these zines and because I couldn't get my hands wet- I needed to *STAPLE* everything rather than use glue!
Well, although it was painful, it sure was worth the effort!
~*Smile*~
Honestly, I am glad that it turned out the way that it did because the results were fun.
This is a swap zine that I made for ~*I Heart Zines*~
I've not been able to make any progress on Beau Ideal #4 until I get a new computer- (hopefully I can find one soon that does exactly what I need it to without having a built in camera or overheating problem!)
I digress-
This is a preview zine to "OODLES OF DOODLES 2"
Featuring the art and doodles of some very cool people!
Dave Huddleston (Sabii Wabii's awesome husband), Michelle Walker AKA 3rd eye muse, Ahmad Abdush Shaheed, Me & Francisco De La Cruz
The zine will ONLY be made in black and white- no color like in this sample trade zine.
The inclusions, cover and layout for "Oodles of Doodles 2" will be a lot different as well.


~*BON VOYAGE*~

Are you aware that some jewelry tools, pliers, and other hand tools are made with materials or substances ,"Known in the state of California" to cause *cancer* and birth defects as well as cause other harm to your body?
My husband bought me a pair of wire clippers and when I turned the package over to open it I was met with a sticker warning, telling me of the danger.
This was from BEADALON
:o(
I am SO bummed!
I've waited all weekend until today to continue working on some projects because my clippers are worn.
I got my pair - already used handed down from one of my friends, and wasn't aware of the danger that the handles may have on the tools!
Rats!
Just heads up to you.
Some cords, cables and wires have warnings on them from time to time about containing lead.- Some just never mention it!
Be more aware of what is in your home. NOT ALL COMPANIES ALERT YOU!
I have a feeling I am killing myself with all of this STUFF I use.
What can I do with my life if I keep having to give up every art form I love simply because the tools, materials and supplies are made in a toxic and poisonous way.
