My New Kim Murton Ceramics

A favorite blog that I follow is Worry of The Day by Kim Murton. Her quirky cartoons are so good and right on the mark. It’s like she's inside my head.

Turns out Kim is an artist with many amazing talents. Kim majored in ceramics in college then worked in animation for ten years in New York City. (Yeah, that was a dream of mine once upon a time.) She returned to working with clay after moving to Vancouver, and now produces wonderful works that combine her playful sense of humor with her great design and color sensibility. You can view her ceramics blog here. Be sure to watch the video interview there. You can watch her work. Way cool.

Really I just wanted to show off my new Kim Murton ceramics. I asked her to make me a Worry Plate and a Worry Mug.

Worry of the Day: Too Peaceful

Now that I have them, I am worried I will chip or break them. Seriously.

Upcycled T-Shirt Bags from zJayne

My Etsy Cleveland Team friend Jane Pierce is incredibly creative and spiritual. She does these way cool assemblages and altered art pieces, and I particularly love her upcycled grocery bags and pouches made from gently used t-shirts. (The small pouches are made from the sleeves! Nothing goes to waste here!) You can read more about zJayne on her blog. And there is tons of cool stuff to choose from in her etsy shop. She made me my very own custom SToNZ pouch wristlet! It has more Rolling Stones than beach stones in it this week...

And this is my favorite carry all bag made from a Cleveland t-shirt. I get a lot of comments on this one at the grocery store. Paper or plastic? No thanks!

Fun pouch colors to choose from.
She makes a fun lunch bag size, too. And even golf club covers!
So far she has made and sold more than 500 upcycled bags.
Saves grocery bags AND old shirts from the landfill.
Go Jane!!

Styledash Interviews SToNZ

Thank you for the interview, Styledash!

Pay this guy and he'll do stuff.

Have you heard about David Horvitz?
His blog is fascinating to me.
Kind of performance art meets social conscience.

My favorite thing is where you send him $30
and he buys a meal for the first homeless person
he sees.

He'll kiss a moon tree, send you star sand from Okinawa...
or just think about you. For a price.

His complete list is worth checking out-
what would you do for money?

Spotlighted!

Thanks for the spotlight, Keith!
