secret lentil dwarfs the mcdonald's arches in times square

I wouldn't make that up would I? Could I?

Customer / patron / mentor San-D sent her picture into Dove, who featured her, wearing her Secret Lentil jacket, on a gigantic billboard on Times Square. Look once, then look again and take in the scale.

That's right, We're crushing the golden arches. rawr.

Here's a better view of the picture:

And here is the jacket, before it knew how wonderful a life it would have with San D:

today in the studio ... periwinkle, olive, and, uhhhh –

I can mix whatever colors I want.

So there.

*folding arms, looking tough*

today in the studio ... stripes!

I've been soaking in linen, and that's been great, but I felt the need for some goofy Spring fun so I ordered in some stripes – they arrived today. Stripes = instant fun. I'll be making a batch of reconstructed pieces with snippets of stripey goodness worked in ... and bright contrasting thread ... good times.

Carmen!
Carmen just sent this shot of her wearing her new bright tunic limeadus camisolia, in her lush back yard. And if I'm not mistaken I made that shrug too.

eat, issue 4

 My friend Dan and his friend Jazz make a zine called eat. I know, isn't that adorable? It really is.

So, what happens is this:  I post a weird meal I made on facebook, Dan gently cajoles me about submitting a recipe to eat, I claim there is no recipe, I just made it up, nothing comes of it. (I cook the same way I sew, rarely the same thing twice.)

Finally he wears me down and I send a few recipes. Months later, my copy of eat arrives in the mail. IT IS FULL OF AWESOME. It is fun. It includes my recipe for Wasabi Deviled Eggs and some chicken dish with a clever name I can't remember any more (It's spicy, with orange sauce and fresh spinach) plus a screenshot of the aforementioned cajoling. I'd forgotten so much of it by the time it arrived in the mail that I got to guiltily enjoy laughing at my own jokes, but don't tell anyone else, because that isn't proper.

Apparently there are other people in it too. You can get your copy of eat right now from their Etsy shop.
