I know well that happiness is in little things… – John Ruskin
I stayed up late finishing another throw – and really enjoyed designing the generous fringe! The inspiration for the colors came from Nirvana’s Come As You Are performance video – Rome 1991 (the green spotlight on Kurt Cobain’s hair, especially).

Yarn spun in this luxurious way turns a simple knitting project into high art!
I just finished knitting this very textured wool throw and love the result! The King of Rock and Roll’s Blue Suede Shoes kept me on task.

I love the sensual biomorphic lines of the vessels in the foreground.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
by Lord Byron
I wonder what this child is thinking as she looks out on this vast sea…

It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. – Anaïs Nin
As I walked along the sidewalk today, I was captivated by the peculiar patterns of flattened dark globs of chewing gum embedded in the pavement. Continuing along my route, I started noticing black dots everywhere!
London artist, Ben Wilson, embellishes such discarded gum with colorful images.
