my favorite finds this week...

+ I would love to Build my own Canoe! Reform School is out of stock on their Canoe Plans, but I would also just love that image hanging in my house!

+ Iguana and cat, cow and leopard, elephant and sheep bffs?! Holy cute. National Geographic posted an interview with Jennifer Holland about her new book Unlikely Friendships. The cover is a monkey hugging a pigeon, come on!

+ The Teal Cat Project is such a great idea - recycling cute cat tchotchkes to help feral cats. They're looking for bloggers and tchotchkes too...

+ Occulter's newest project, Half a Person, is a bust candle of Morrissey, complete with a little band aid over his nipple! Why did he do that? Jeremy's show at Occulter may just have scored him with one of these pieces.  I call Morrissey his boyfriend, because he really loves him...

+ Lastly, these pics by Anna of Door Sixteen show so well what its like riding the subway in NYC . When people ask me about NY I usually end up telling stories about the weird happenings on the trains. It's just such apart of your daily life here, and literally bumps you into so many people...

My favorite, most inspiring finds this week:

+ I was lucky enough to meet Tara Gentile of Scoutie Girl at her Etsy talk, The Dare of DIY. It was inspiring to hear her story! I came away feeling excited about my work & proud to be a maker is this very DIY time. There's no rule book. It's all about the challenging- What can you do? How far can you take that knowledge? Making mistakes and learning from them fuel your process, and it's all about the process for me! Grrrr.....

+ the new Edible Selby is killing for me. I love it on the NY Times Magazine with the interactive feature. I'm a sucker for hearing a persons voice, hearing them talk to me, and then seeing the pictures really gets me. Also this feature is from NY'ers who moved to Tulum, Mexico. I've been there it's amazing!!

+ this video of a baby deer or elk stomping in a puddle just about made me melt with all it's cuteness via Bona Drag

+ good things are brewing I've got BIG NEWS to share soon. Teaching dates and a big project on the horizon.... more soon!!!
