deeply superficial people

Last week when I was in Sacramento I left this piece at Streets of London.

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.

First up is a sewn shark and some fish that i shoved some magnets in. I wanted to put it up by zuda yoga here in Sacramento, cause it gets a lot of traffic, and to show rachel that i am doing stuff… though not being productive on my alter egos t-shirts (i am shrouded in mystery haha). Anyway… i couldn’t get it to stick to the railroad crossing sign, so i found  a metal box down the street.

shark outside (lost a fish somewhere en route):

Here are a couple construction paper gnomes. I looked like an idiot lamenting them at Kinkos.

oh and here is a random sign for a lost rhino. guess I’ll throw it on the post as well.

I got 2 more lamented gnomes in my backpack… don’t know if i’ll get back to kinkos to make more, though i do think they are fun. OK folks, hope everything is going well for y’all.

SewJaBoy out!

So most of the stuff I put up is at random locations I am unaffiliated with and usually stuff I create, however I felt I should post this.

The bike lock up area at the office
Where I work has been jeopardized. The theifs found out that our gate sucks, and some folks use shoddy bike locks. So I came up with a fool proof plan.

I purchased a beware of dog sign and zip tied it to the gate. Though it may be fairly obvious there is no dog in there, they actually might stop for a second look before barging in. That is funny enough for me. We’ll see how long building management let’s it stay up.

OwlorNothing and i have been really busy as of late, with finals and traveling, but i did manage to sew a couple things for the Indie Sacramento Truck show and Craft Bazaar, and give ‘em to Peptogirl (thanks again for meeting up with me like that p.s. did you see that accident i almost caused! ha) SO GO CHECK OUT ALL THE CRAFTNICITY we’re not going to be there, we gots to keep to our mysterious ways. That and prior engagements. Anyway, here are a couple pics:

I finally got over to sara jane and co. to put up the “fugly virus” flag. why the fugly virus? honestly that’s what has been plaguing my work recently. I blame the fugly virus, it has raided my sewing machine, like french on fries. ain’t no joke, its science, just ask my dad, he’s a podiatrist. or better yet google that shit. if it doesnt come up, you gotta work on ur google skills. Anyway, i gotta find what i did with the other pic… so for the time being here is the flag all hung up. Oh and i am really excited about the new waterproof (i think) life ring i made, i think i have to make a few before i unleash them. they take so long though! especially cause i gotta hang em from the ceiling to finish sewing. anyway, that has nothing to do with this post. err half post cause im missing a picture. ok, later.          -SewJaboy
