From our home to yours. Happy Crafting!

Couple blocks away from work is ABC store. Located around Union Square area, NYC. I find this store amazing, and incredible inspirational. From small local crafted items to beautiful line of handcrafted colorful embroidery fabrics from India. You can find gorgeous items also from Nepal and Tibet. If you are an Interior designer, this is a must see store. See more at: http://www.abchome.com

From the few covers/issues they published. This is my favor one. Beautiful yellow... Sad that Blueprint stop publishing.

Here is my little simple final project from a class I just finished at Parson School of Design Continuing Education. The class name was Fabric selection and style. It was taught by a very passionated professor ( Salvatore Cesarani ). What a sweet man! We went couple field trips to an organization, a textile design company and the textile library at the Met in NYC.

I am getting the "owl" effect. I think is a good thing. Craving for some sketches of little owls. When I was in elementary school we did a felted owl. Man! I did have fun with the process of cutting and gluing the felt feathers. I was happy how it turned out... well, I don't know where is that owl... I quite miss it. After I moved to the States... I don't remember if I brought it with me or gave it away... Any how... I will do some owls soon. I'll show you soon!
