NEW PHOTO TILES!

These are my new photo-tiles. I make each coaster by hand by transferring my photographs onto tumbled marble tile.

The top one is a photograph of the work of street artist Swoon. She is incredible. I took this on the lower east side. The others are my various still-lifes.

Because each one is hand made there may be some imperfections which is part of the process. They have a shabby chic look. They can be hung on the wall with small picture hooks or they can be used as coasters. They are waterproof and can be put in the dishwasher. They are backed with small rubber feet to protect your furniture or wall.

I'm doing them all in limited edition sets with only 10 made of each, all available in my shop.

What do you think?

Love Eco!!

I love these eco-friendly lampshades from Love Eco. Each one is made by hand with recycled products and are made in limited edition sets. We all need to do whatever we can to help the environment however nobody wants to compromise style. Now you can have both! This is a great website too with tons of great eco-friendly products! I will be featuring something Eco Friendly each week.

Front page treasury!

I was very excited this morning to click on Etsy and find Ocean Waves (the middle/right photo) on the front page!! I think it's a great looking poster and a really wonderful selection of things! Just click on the images to see them bigger!

Let the beach come to you!

I haven't been able to get to the beach recently because of the show. The show was a huge success by the way! A BIG BIG thank you to Vanessa at Turquoise. It was very successful. I digress, I have been so busy that I had to bring the beach to me. This is my new series now in my shop.

OohLaLa, more from Gunkelman-Flesher

Kari at Gunkelman-Flesher was kind enough to email over a photo of Gunkelman's condo in Minneapolis which was featured in Metropolitan Home. I just love love love this room. It's so fresh, has such interest and yet feels intimate. I love the variety of textures, shades of white and combination of styles. What exceptional style! Oohlala!

OohLaLofty!

I have always wanted a loft. The high ceilings, the space, the open air plan, and all that light. This one was designed by the well known Gunkelman-Flesher, a design firm lead by Tom Gunkelman, who is inspired by architect Mie van der Rohe's philosophy that "less is more". I would have to say from these pictures that I agree. This loft that they designed in Minneapolis is just gorgeous! I think I'll make it my dream loft!

New things I've been working on!

I have been busy working away at finding new ways to use my photographs. I hope you think they are OhLaLa. I'd love to know your thoughts!

My new paperweights now in my shop:




My new photo-pendants:

OohLaLa I love this workspace!

I have been trying to decide how to redo my workspace in my apartment and I am so inspired by the new Pottery Barn catalog. I don't have a lot of space and I have so many projects that require a lot of organization. Anyone else have this problem? The combination of small space, color and organizational ideas are fantastic. I think I'm going to go with blue, isn't that shocking!! I particularly love the shelving, lights and craft table with all the cubbies to put your supplies.

OohLaLa OFFI D2!

Yes it sounds like something out of Star Wars and a lot like R2D2 but it's even better. It's the OFFI D2 Pocket Desk. I love any furniture that has casters so you can move it around. This desk is awesome. It has sleek lines, the wood is gorgeous and above all it has a huge long fantastic pull out drawer. I just love it! I found it on Design Public.

I think I'm in love!

This mini Leica is the equivalent to me that miniature dogs are to other people! It's just so cute! To think it really works too!

OohLaLa a portable chandelier!

I've always wanted a chandelier but I rent and to have one installed was just too much to deal with not to mention their price. If I left I'd have to un-install it and put up the old lighting fixture, etc. Now all my problems are solved with this chandelier that I just fell in love with from Room Service. You just plug it in and voila! Magnifique! The price is amazing too at under $200!

Turquoise days and Turquoise nights!

The photography show at Turquoise in Venice was a huge success. So much so that Vanessa has asked to keep it up another week. It has been incredibly rewarding to not only get such great feedback from everyone who came but also to have many sales. I think the combination of Vanessa's classic eye and vintage furniture mixed with her arrangement of my work was just perfect! I'm very excited it will be up through August 12th. Here are just a few of the photographs on display from Friday's show.
