Baltimore’s Street Art

Baltimore’s Street Art

I absolutely adore seeing new street art in the city. Sometimes the art itself is new, like this mural from Open Walls in Station North. It's in an alley, so it's difficult to get a shot of the whole thing, but it's so bright and happy. I love it! Sometimes they're...

Fortune Teller

Fortune Teller

The first paper folding project I ever learned was the fortune teller. We would make them every day in elementary school, and I never lost my passion for them. Sometimes I will make them at restaurants while we're waiting for our food, and sometimes I make giant ones...

Get On Your Dancing Shoes

Get On Your Dancing Shoes

I've always thought that someone's shoe choice can give you a better idea about a person than any other article of clothing or accessory. Shoes are things you need to commit to. They need to get you around during the day. They take you on your adventures. Are you...
