My friend Amara came from Los Angeles to visit me in Brooklyn for my 23rd birthday. Rather than carry a cumbersome map, she made a map of the city into bookmarks with tiny dots making important places. The map below includes a dot marking my apartment. She left this behind and I have posted it on a door in every house I have lived in since.

Table number 5.
I bought this yellow fabric to make a pillow cover. I never did, but I have cut it into napkins for our wedding. I scanned the fabric and printed it on paper. The pictures of grass and the dog are from National Geographic from the 1970s.

2007. An old friend had just moved to New York. I was excited to share the places I had discovered. Coney Island, different than I had imagined - a favorite place. Sort of like nature, a lot not like nature at all.
Table number 3.

Kangaroos.
I sold a pair of earrings today. This is the card they are attached to, ready to be shipped. The card is made from the top of an egg carton; the kangaroos were found in a 1974 issue of National Geographic, recovered from the lost and found.

I moved to Brooklyn at the beginning of 2004. For the first while my brother Zayne shared his small room with me. He took a photo of the tree tops outside our window and gave me a black and white photocopy of it.
This is a picture of the tree tops out side my window in Portland; I am sending to Zayne who now lives in London.

I started a shop on Etsy today. These earrings are the first item i have listed for sale.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/OnliestOneThese are handmade earrings - the beads are from my collection of mostly deconstructed used jewelry. They are just under 4" long. I have other pairs that are similar, but not exactly the same and would be happy to take any special orders.

We got new hand dryers today at Por Que No, the restaurant where I work. Someone was overheard saying "I thought it was a toilet". I made signs like this so everyone would know it is a hand dryer.
