Hello all who I have neglected for so long. I do not have a good excuse for not keeping up with my blog, unless you count thesis work a good excuse for being busy? Anyway, I thought I would post a quick update on what I have been working on for the fall semester of school. I am partnering with the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped to redesign their children's space.

Hello all in blogland. Just wanted to check in and let you all know that I am still alive minus the lack of posts. I finished up working in Baltimore for the summer and I have been home in California for the last couple of weeks. I finished my neck scarf and I am very pleased with how it turned out! I also finished the cardigan sweater that I started almost 2 years ago. I was 90% done before I

I am officially on summer vacation, but it doesn't feel like much of a vacation since I am working here 40 hours a week. I'm really happy with my summer job and thankful that I will be making some money before I leave Baltimore in July. I am also doing as much reading as possible to inform my work for thesis next year. So far the books are helping with inspiration and so is this little side

For the last few weeks of school I have been working on some word experiments made out of various materials. This is an idea I am experimenting with for thesis next year. I am interested in designing for the senses and this is my first step on the journey. I tired out eggshells and sewing needles as my first two attempts. Up next is my summer reading list with includes Designing Design by Kenya

Hello all. My Urban Forest banner is now proudly on display in Baltimore near John Hopkins. If you are driving up Charles Street (it's a one way street), it will be on your left hand side. The city looks so good with all the banners and I'm so glad that I decided to participate in such a great cause.

All the first year MFA students at MICA participate in a gallery opening in March and I decided to use my numbers from last semester done in my experimental type class. I used the vinyl cutter and with James' help, we got it onto the wall. Here it is!

One of the first assignments of this semester was to design a poster for the New Views 2 design conference happening in London this summer. The poster needed to use graphic design as a means to critique and reflect upon its future. This is my heart. This is my future.

I haven't been updating my site as frequently as I would like, but I am just so busy with school! Here is a sneak peak of my fibers project that I had been working on. My friend, Tony, said he would model it for me. It was inspired from those funny Victorian neck ruffs. It makes me laugh.

MICA does a big holiday sale in December of every year called Art Market. (I have a special place in my heart for this show ever since Joo and I designed the logo and posters for the upcoming event.) Here is what I will be selling...pencil cases! I found a tutorial online, borrowed Kelley's sewing machine (and her zipper foot) and off I went. I was only able to produce 12 bags, but my goal was to

We had to a design a number font in my type class and I think I still had leaves on the brain from the urban forest project. The calendar was inspired by a barometer and I love the idea of a calendar that you can change along with the weather. I used the laser cutter at school to make the circles perfect and then I went to this crazy antique clock shop in Baltimore to get the second hand. All in

Have you heard about the Urban Forest Project? You can read about it here. Baltimore is doing their own version of the campaign and requested submissions from designers and all the MFA grads decided we should participate. So this is my banner that I designed between the hours of 2 and 4 a.m. Hopefully it will get picked, but if not, I still like it.

For my experimental type class, with the guys from House Industries, we had to create a modular typeface which constists of only a few forms. We were asked to apply our font in some creative way, so I pulled a random headline from cnn.com and spray painted on a plate. If anyone has ever tried to paint on ceramic you will understand my pain. After many unsuccessful tries, I am quite pleased with

This was my first big assignment of the semester... setting metal type by hand and printing out 10 final identical prints. It took me over 6 hours to set the type and another 6 to print, but the setting was slow due to the lack of spacers that were available in the sizes that I was using. I will post the final print after I have the crit on Monday. So far, so good!!

I found this idea on Purl Soho's website and I thought it would be perfect for my living room! These are now hanging above my couch and they really add such a nice touch to the room. I plan on adding more, but I wanted to start small and work my way up. A tutorial of these can be found here.

I have been busy with RA training for the past week and a half, but I really am trying to take advantage of every opportunity by driving around the city streets of Baltimore. Kelley and I went this morning to the farmer's market which is actually underneath a freeway, oddly enough. They had everything from my favorite (and something which is NOT available in California) concord grapes to live

Hello friends and welcome to Baltimore, Maryland. I have officially moved and here is the front room of my apartment. My apartment is on the bottom floor of the undergraduate dorm and I am in charge of slightly over 600 freshmen. (!!!) I still have a lot of decorating to do and I am waiting for a new bed and a desk, but I am definitely feeling more comfortable here now. Check out my flickr for

I stumbled across this font, Cotoris, several months ago when I was designing a logo and I thought at the time that this is one beautiful font. When MyFonts sent me their e-newsletter this morning and Cotoris had made their top 10 starlet list, I knew I needed to do a post about it. I love the simplistic line qualities intertwined with the dangling ligatures. Ryoichi Tsunekawa of Japan did a

So if you haven't noticed I have been neglecting my blog as of late. Not that it was intentional, it really wasn't... but I was really busy at work and then I was away for 2 weeks. I am now back and better than ever! Here is a picture of me taken last night at Dodger Stadium to prove I really am alive. I'm working on the back of the sweater and it's my last piece to go before I am finished. I

Once a year, the city of Palos Verdes Estates does a big trash pick up day... free to the tax-paying residents. I always drive around the night before looking for loot with my mom and let me tell you... we have found some pretty fabulous things. This past weekend was the long-awaited day and while I didn't find any must haves, I did find these lovely french doors. It seems too bad that they are

I have been a fan of Katharine Holabird, the author of the Angelina Ballerina, since I received her first book as a gift when I was 5. Ever since then I have been hooked on the little dancing mouse. My mom still buys me every new book that comes out and we enjoy reading them together. This weekend I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Katharine in person at the Festival of Books. James and I got

I'm always on the look out for colorful things. Whether it's yarn or the color of the sky, I am always observant about colors. This week, right next to my office, the city people painted this manhole orange. I like to think of tiny orange elves living underneath in the sewers, running around and knitting to their hearts content. Have you ever seen a manhole this bright before? What's living in

Have you heard of Sheila? From the blog Sheila loves to knit? Well apparently this lady can't resist buying yarn (like me) and has decided to take matters into her own hands. She has decided to hold a monthly "stash reduction" raffle where you can enter to win some of the yarn she is giving away to random strangers. I happen to be one of those random strangers that won!!

Our Easter weekend was a stressful blur. It started off early Friday morning when my dad and I left for the flower mart at 4am, in charge of purchasing $400 worth of flowers for the church flower guild. We barely made it to the church on time to drop off the 10 buckets of flowers before we had to turn around and pick up my mom in Beverly Hills. That was a whole other story that I don't want to

This weekend was the kickoff weekend of Heather's wedding envelopes. I haven't done calligraphy in a little over a year and it always amazes me how quickly it comes back to me. My hand just sort of knows how it do it. I wish I knew how to do more fonts, but this is my signature look.

This past weekend and few days were spent in Washington D.C. and Baltimore. I went back to visit MICA (Maryland Institue College of Art) where I have been accepted into their MFA Graphic Design program. (I am sure most of you already knew this.) I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the school and the students and everyone else I met there. The exciting thing is that I am the winner of their merit

Hello all. I feel like time has been slipping away from me as of late. I have been working on a lot of personal projects, but I don't want to show photos until I am all finished! In the meantime, here is an adorable photo of Annie from the weekend. It was 80 degrees and Annie was trying to stay cool by sleeping on my mom's violets.

So here is the final finished bag. I wanted to do a before and after shot so you could see how much it shrinks after the felting! It is weird to me that it started almost down to my knees and now fits snuggly underneath my arm. Very bizarre. I will definitely do more more felted projects from that great felted book that Heather gave me awhile ago. Thanks to Amy for letting me use her washing

I finally finished my Christmas ornament for our handmade Christmas tree. Each year every memeber of my immediate family makes an ornament for this special, somewhat smaller, tree. This year I was sick during my vacation and I didn't do nearly enough things as I would have liked...i.e. finishing the ornament in DECEMBER. Anyway, it had been ages since I have done embroidery, but it was so much

Last year James' aunt had given me some yarn and the pattern for this fabulous tote. She had made me one for Christmas and then was kind enough to send me the pattern! Here is the purse before it goes into the wash and shrinks to a third of the size. Right now when I put it over my arm the purse falls to my waist.

Over the past weekend I was in New York with my dad. We did lots and lots of things together including yarn shopping, taking in a Broadway show, and just getting lost in the streets. Before we left we were sure to take a trip to the Moma. I have been to NYC numerous times before... I was trying to count the times, but after 15 I lost track... and I had never been to the Moma before. Wow, wow, wow

Here is my beautiful antique letterpress set that my mom gave me for my birthday. Aren't the letters so amazing? She found the set in a local antique store and I keep going back to see if they have more letters to add to my collection. I purchased a few pieces on ebay, but the majority came from the store. I am using the letters in a current art project so stay tuned for that.

I finally finished my first knitted letter! I feel very relieved since it took me nearly 3 months to finish such a simple letterform. However, I learned so much doing the mitered corner that now I can tackle socks! I really want to knit all the letters in the alphabet, but I figured I would start with L because it's a simple form. Letters like J, G, and S are somewhat daunting, but I am confident

This is the house that is not for sale that I want to buy. It reminds me of the many trips I have taken to England and have admired all the thatched roofs. The leaded window panes and curved windows makes me feel like I am back in the UK.

Here is a sign that is on Temple Street in Long Beach. I always drive by it and think to myself how I need to take a picture so everyone else can see the beautiful sign that I see several times a week. I think it looks like Arabic, but I am not 100% sure. I love the pronounced ascenders and descenders and how the font has calligraphic elements to it. Notice how each of the letters sort of seem to

Over the summer I met up with Heather and her sister in Sedona for the weekend. We went to this really cute arts and crafts village called, Tlaquepaque. Insidently I had been there before, but this time I was really able to casually look around all the cute art shops. I am always on the lookout for interesting typefaces and this is one that I found. It's one of my favorites so far.

This is the baby sweater I made for my friends, Michael and Kathryn. I knew they would appreciate the time that went into this small piece. When Michael opened the present, he seemed shocked that I had made it. I think it came out pretty well considering it was my first big knitting project after hats and scarfs. Notice the button... it's a kitty cat!

I realized I have a lot of design and art related things that I want to blog about, so welcome friends, and hopefully you {and I} will be inspired.
