things and stuff and origami

Ach stressin. I have too many jobs.

But check this out



Master origami maker turns 101! what a great photo :)

I've met some really cute/cool elderly crafters over the past few weeks while working at Collage. This guy the other day brought in his most recent woodworking project to show me--it was this wooden bible box with a gavel inside. It was a commission. his name is George Starbuck! Apparently he's in the yellow pages.
I had the idea the other day to start a blog for older crafters--like do write-ups and take photos of studio spaces of older people who are master quilters, embroiderers, woodworkers, etc., but who don't have a website/Internet presence because they don't do the web. ...maybe i could apply for a grant some time. you'd get to meet some great people.

This is the performance I saw the other day



wish you coulda been there! i had a free ticket that no one wanted. the puppet comes to life and kills his master. the dancing was AMAZING though. holy shit. *i thought they were israeli, but they're actually canadian. this week is when the israeli dance troope is coming to town. p.s. i'm interviewing the artistic director of cirque du soleil on wednesday. bahahah. my life is so weird right now.

Oh, and this is cool
