Adrian Deckbar was born and raised in New Orleans. She earned a BA in Painting and Drawing at the University of Louisiana (now ULL) in 1973. She then earned an MA in Painting and Drawing at San Francisco State University under the renowned photorealist artist Robert Bechtle. Later, at Tulane University, she received an MFA, also in Painting and Drawing. She has taught Painting and Drawing classes at Tulane University, The New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and at San Francisco State University. She has also taught workshops including The Bascom in Highlands, NC, The Mississippi Art Colony, The Arkansas Craft School, and The Prince’s Foundation for Rebuilding the Environment in New Orleans, and Sketching in Provence, Umbria, and Northern Italy. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections in the US and abroad. She has received grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Pollack Krasner Foundation, the Louisiana Division of the Arts, and the Gottlieb Foundation. In 2008, Deckbar published a book of her work with a grant from Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation, entitled, Continuum: Moving Through A Still Frame. Deckbar is currently working on a new series of paintings titled Movie Stills. These new paintings depict women who are aware that they are objectified, yet mysterious, weary and yet defiant. Her incredible mastery of photo realism, combined with an awareness of the times we live in, and all the emotional weight that carries, finds her in a unique place in the art world.

In his Broken Flower series photographer Jon Shireman soaked various kinds of flowers in a liquid nitrogen bath for up to 30 minutes before using a special spring-loaded contraption to slam them against a surface at high speed. He then photographed the hundreds of fragments spread across a white surface like sharp glass shards. Beautiful work. See the rest over on Flickr. More

I’m so excited to introduce you to a new blog series that will begin next month all about sustainable sewing! If you’ve been following me for a while then you’ll know that issues of environmental and social responsibility are incredibly important to me. I put a lot of work into making environmental and ethically conscious choices in my daily life, and have implemented so many lifestyle changes in the past 6 years, but the area that I find the hardest is in sewing. I love making things but I want to explore what it means to create in a more consciously sustainable manner. // MEET NICKI // I’m really thrilled to to introduce my dear friend Nicki of This is Moonlight as the author of this series. Nicki and I actually first met when our boys were […]

My love for A Series of Unfortunate Events started in childhood. I created this blanket as a mysterious journey inspired by these books. With the addition of random scrap yarns and small bits of leftovers, no two Snicket Files Blankets will look the same! Details: This blanket is knit in the round with seams on both ends. Bonus: NO WEAVING IN ENDS! Yarn Requirements: You will need two full skeins of the original color A. You will use them for the beginning and end borders. Make sure to wind off a little extra of color A to sew the bottom hem together. Gather all your leftovers- fingering and DK! For this pattern, you will be using the fingering weight doubled. This way you’ll be able to combine both weights into one project! Techniques used: mosaic knitting knitting in the round kitchener and/or 3 needle bind-off

An Oracle deck is a series of cards with images or words on them that can be used for divination, goal-setting, to lift your mood, or to connect with your intuition or a higher power. There is power in creating something inspired by your intuition.

The original opening the cast is represented by the following: "Epidemiology": The Season Two Halloween episode has monsters representing the cast. The same intro (with an additional drawing for Jim Rash) was used for the subsequent Halloween episodes in Season Three with "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps" and in Season Four with "Paranormal Parentage". "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons": This opening has a sword and sorcery theme reflected by the re-orchestrated music and the type of character
I have been feeling some feelings lately. Like, feelings of well-being. Like, spontaneous-breaking-into-song-and-general-wonderfulness-type feelings. I know… It sounds pretty floofy, but I can’t help it. And I can’t explain it either. I do not know where the feelings came from, when they started, nor why they’ve been persisting. Maybe it’s menopause? Or some sort of hormone imbalance?...Read More »

On my blog, I typically teach moms and anyone else who wants to make extra money about ways to earn significant chunks of extra cash each month, like through blogging or becoming a VA. But let's face it - sometimes you just need $50 or $100 or $200 more right now, and you don't have time to implement a full-blown business. If you're thinking, 'I need extra money fast, not in a year from now!' then you're in the right place. If you sell multiple items in one day, you can really raise a reasonable amount of cash quickly.

I love entrelac! I love that it can be manipulated to look like large rectangles with lots of drape or tiny rectangles that work like ribbing.
