montreal

nous sommes retournés de Montréal où j'ai pratiqué mon français très cassé. i feel like this is one of the few stand-alone images from this weekend, and it's not even mine! every other image is an intrinsic part of a story to be shared as a whole.

mameshiba!

i am now totally obsessed with finding an edamame keychain:

Have you "crushed" air bubble wrap some time?

It is one of the phenomena called "affordance" that
trend to crush something unconsciously.

It comes to want to put the finger in the hole,
to want to pull it if there is a knob.
Therefore, it can be said that man always want to crush.

It doesn't feel good?

Now thanks to Bandai Japan you can do it infinitely
with a key chain called "Puchi, puchi"
This key chain can reproduce exactly the sound of crashing
a plastic bubble with the same feeling .

This model don't reproduce any sound but
you can feel a similar sensation pushing the soy beans,
it will pop out showing a face!
It's infinite and no requires any battery!
This is a collector item and each piece contain a different face
there is 12 different faces randomly distributed



for now my artistic rendition will have to suffice. made from a pea pod from my garden!

rico, giving the camera that serious face

his one year anniversary gift to me

living on west 12th, to west 4th. traveling to texas, to tacoma. craft fairs in vancouver and seattle. little msn drawings from penticton to vancouver, floating through the interior and vancouver island. hawaii, bali. kitsilano. kirkland. oregon coast, california. victoria and a red octopus.

inspired by a sketch artist at a wedding last month, i've decided to keep a sketch journal, which just happens to coincide with my recent inability to write anything substantial in my posts.

verity + lucky part I

the august long weekend delivered gorgeous weather. a relaxing morning with the bride included a manicure from an old friend, fresh picked flowers from the garden, and sweet young girls with ivy woven crowns. the bridesmaid's dresses were like no dressesi've seen before...i think verity's dad had to smuggle them into the country.

victoria, last month

loon(ies), sparrows, ducks, and a crow

victoria, home to bc ferries, white spot's signature bc burgers, toonies, loonies, and other familiar coins bearing the queen's head, fantastic $150 pajamas, and even starbucks' ginger molasses cookies that no longer exist in seattle due to the economic downturn.

saturday in victoria was a lovely, warm, sunshiny day. not quite the 40°C/101°F i endured in kirkland this week.

katie + marc part iii

thanks to the wonders of facebook and an unexpected comment from an uncle-in law, i am now fully capable of burning a cd that can be viewed on macs. i may not know how to use the lightscribe to create a pretty image on the disc, but i can draw cute little people! thanks for all your patience, katie!
