i wish i could go to this! karen's colors, and shapes... i'm so drawn to her work! hmmm, maybe i should think about a trip to maine...

i did a small interview with emmas designblogg in sweden-- thanks emma!

the first half of the photo shoot for the book has come and gone... and it was a really exciting (but very exhausting!) experience. this has been such a long project, it's so great to see it coming to life in photos. we set up a simple work area in my living room where i did the how-to steps for the book (photo above). ok, now back to work preparing for the next shoot...
