deeply superficial people

I’ve photographed the first batch of returned mail art pieces photographed and here they are. I’m excited about the completed pieces. I’ve also seen a couple sneek peeks of in progress pieces. The show is looking good!

I went up to Sacramento to visit SewJaboy this weekend and Saturday afternoon we decided to come up with a little craft graffiti to hang that night when we wandered around for Second Saturday. Here’s our spur of the moment creations.

SewJaboy made a bear flag.

It found a home in front of Bows and Arrows

He also made a little tile mosaic.

We placed it in the window ledge @ Vox

SewJaboy has been asking about how you make quilt squares, so I made a little 8×8 quilted square. I made it quick so my corners are not precise enough, oh well.

This little gem found it’s home in front of Old Soul at The Weatherstone.

My girlfriend and i just spent the weekend in Bodega Bay, where Alfred Hitchcock filmed The Birds. So i thought it seemed fit to put out a couple of my own. Made me up some bird windsocks, and a little stuffed bird…

i watched this one for a bit, and nobody seemed to notice. it even hit a lady in the head and she didn’t flinch. Came back a couple hours later and it was… still there. Went back the next day… gone. Same with the next one that i put up at a wind sock store haha, i couldn’t help myself.

It almost blends in! heck it’s better than that little one on the third pole from the left. I wonder what they did with it, cause it was a whole different set of windsocks the next day. That had to be a confusing moment. Next up is the church from the birds or you may recognize it from an Ansel Adams photograph…

ta-da! If only i went prepared to craft bomb on more vacations. That’s going to be my new years resolution, but I’ll try and start now. Lets see, whats my next vacation… oh! Beautiful Cleveland Ohio… yeah not a top tourist destination. But i guess i could maybe sew a guitar for the rock and roll hall of fame… (narrator voice) will he come through and do this? Stay tuned.
