You have only but to look. 

I’ll sew you a cake. 

My fiance Dan and I have just moved into a new home and I am feeling so inspired by the space as a blank canvas and all of the personal touches we can add to it to make the space our perfect nest. Yesterday I ran across this gorgeous paper mobile on Domestic Construction’s site and new it would make for the perfect addition to our stairway landing. I couldn’t see how the top was fashioned from the photographs, so I decided to use an embroidery hoop. The paper I used was old wall paper samples given to me by a friend and scraps of origami from my days in Japan. I cut the paper into imperfect squares and sewed them into unpatterned strips. Sometimes I find the best pattern is no pattern at all, but rather an overall family of hues that play nicely together. So happy with the result!

One of the very brightest lights in my universe, and probably yours too. 

Lovely Leia.

Double exposure.

Edgewater Park + strange green tube filled with sand at W 78th pedestrian underpass construction site. The result is a dreamy texture to match this heavenly warm day.
