I’m totally obsessed with this stunning tie dyed clothing by Shabd Simon-Alexander.

“limited edition collections based on simple shapes with attention to fabric combinations and compositions. Her approach to working with fabrics draws from minimalist art, quiltmaking, and the folk costume tradition of beginning one dress with the remnants from the last.”

It’s all hand dyed. Check it out over the weekend and have a good one. XOXO.

Some new work- Marie Claire Oct. I have to get one on the newsstand tomorrow. Plus, I forgot to mention that the Art Institute of Tampa is having a show of my work. The reception was tonight. Lots of other fun projects to tell you about soon. For now I’m trying to catch up on chores so I can enjoy my birthday!

I’m excited to be teaming up with the fine folks at Perigee to give one lucky reader this amazingly fun book. Learn how to make mid-century cocktails, dress and do your hair like a secretary, make a hot toddy, dance the Charleston, and find out what jai alai is!

Leave a comment below and I’ll randomly pick a winner to receive the book (you have until Monday). If you feel like it tell me your favorite Mad Men character and why. I love Peggie. She’s feisty and clever. Below are some fun pages from the book.

Happy to share this interview with me on my illustration agent’s site, CWC. They’re also featuring a slideshow of my recent work on their main page. In the interview are a couple of pictures from my life including these shots of my home/studio. I change the pictures above my desk a lot. They’ve already changed since this photo. I like having a rotating gallery!

Check out these amazing stripey finds from some of my favorite blogs:

Mary + Matt edible stripes via Hi + Low
Moule stripes via Frolic
Bolivian rugs via Lena Corwin
Pual Ce Cin backpack via OhJoy! (Obsessed with this!)

I hope you have an amazing weekend. We have a lot of social plans, including: Dinner at a friend’s house, a first b’day party in the park and serving up brunch at our place. I’m thinking frittatas for the brunch.
