For my birthday, JoAnna sent me some great gifts, including a bunch of magnetic butterflies. I decided that I definitely had to use them for an installation, so I started brainstorming what public things are magnetic. My friend, Janice, gave me a list of ideas and I...
When I was in fifth grade, the guidance counselor sat me down with another student, and asked if I had any ideas for the school. I immediately said that I would love to have everyone dress up in a color from head to toe, and for us to make a rainbow. So one day, my...
Sometimes I just cut out shapes from pretty paper. I never really had a plan for the pile of colorful shapes I've accumulated, but recently, I decided to paste them all to a poster. In the middle of the poster, I put the word "Magic", which is probably my favorite...
Happy August, everyone! I can't believe it's already here, but I guess we always say that. I hope you had a great July, and I would love to hear your Top Ten Things about your month! (Side note: it's officially been a year and a half since I started...
Can you believe it's the last day of July?! Absolutely crazy. I'd love to hear what your Top Ten Things about this month were! I'll be sure to post mine tomorrow. Share via comment, Facebook, e-mail, etc. Today is Uncommon Instruments Awareness Day. You may recall...

I've come around from my "only big installations" announcement back in April. It was really fun to finish projects like the pyramid and the rainbow tree, but it's still really important to me to add little pops of wonder and color to a wide assortment of areas. I...
Hello, lovelies! Today is the first day that I'd usually be at work, but I'm not... because I quit my day job! I've been pretty productive today so far, and I'm excited. I hope your week is off to a great start. A reminder that July is almost over! Make sure you're...
It's official! I quit my day job. I worked in the Day Program of an outpatient psychiatric rehab center for five years, and at the end of June, I let my bosses know that I was going to be leaving. It's only the weekend, so I would be off today anyway, but I can feel...
Update: I bought a mermaid fin. You know, to wear. I literally ran in the house the day that I picked it up from the post office. My dad said he hadn't seen me that happy in a long time. It wasn't what I was expecting, to be honest. I thought I'd be able to stand...
