Lena Corwin just posted about some limited edition pillows that she and Caitlin Mociun made together with leftover dress fabric. I’m a big fan of both artists. I adore Lena’s Lines & Shapes. Here I am in my Mociun dress. I think my husband spilled toothpaste on the mirror. Sorry.
Here’s where I posted about Mociun before, and again.
I’m bowled over by these delightful ceramics:
Form follows function:
The Mesu bowls make portion-control easy by acting both as a measuring tool and serving dish. Modern minimalist graphics denote the serving size of each dish, from 1/2 to 2 cups. I’ve looked all over and it seems they are sold out right now. They’re such a good idea. Maybe they’ll restock soon? Here’s where they were available, so check back. Mesu bowls (more on Mesu Bowls)
Function follows form:
I love heather’s post over at Skinny La Minx, about how she does ceramic transfers. I also love these ceramic beauties on fine little day.
Cyclone story:
A couple of years ago my friend Joan and I went to Coney Island and rode the Cyclone. We had a ball. We were screaming and laughing. Last weekend me, Dave, my parents, and my aunt and uncle went to the mermaid parade there. Dave and I rode the cyclone. We both seriously felt like were were in a car wreck. Everyone knows it’s a rickity old wooden roller coaster. But it must especially be in disrepair. My back is killing, and I have a huge bruise on my elbow from where the padding on the bar was missing. Every shockless bump my elbow want clonking into the bar. I feel like I have whip-lash too. Maybe I aged 45 years in a short period of time? Or maybe that coaster needs a little fixing? Sadly, I think this is the last summer for the whole amusement park. I can’t say I’ll be back to ride the Cyclone before the summer is through. It’ll be sad though to see it go. Here’re some old timey photos of my grandparents at Coney Island: Nana, Papa.
hello maquette readers/friends. i’ve been busy starting my summer teaching job. it’s been a hectic week. i have so much artwork i need to do. i did this drawing earlier in the week just for myself and turned it into a pattern this afternoon.
i hope you all have a really fun weekend. dave and i might go to coney island to ride the cyclone or to the murakami exhibit at the brooklyn museum. it depends on the weather. other than that, i’ll just be working on art stuff. fun fun. thank you for tuning in dear readers.
xoxo.

I am drooling over this mad baker post. macarons with peanut better? mana from heaven!!
here are some of my other posts about macarons (they fit into the “inspiration” portion of maquette in case you needed a reason to enjoy them. they’re my raisond’etre):
I’m pretty obsessed with Tim Walker’s magical work. I think he’s a master of light, color, and fantasy. His illustrative photography is striking and fascinating. His photos are so narrative. I’m enamoured with his work.
Here’s more info on him.
Here are more images of his incredible work. I just want to draw and paint all of his photos!
I found Tim through Urban Grace Interiors blog.
PLEASE EXCUSE THE LOOK OF MAQUETTE. IT’S UNDERGOING A MINI-FACE LIFT AND MAY HAVE SOME ODDITIES UNTIL TOMORROW. Thanks for your understanding.
