creative lineage

Hi Daddy!  Happy Birthday!!  From my desk it's so easy to see bits of you - evidence of all your love & support for a life of community, creativity & learning.  Because of you, I'm still doing my paper-fabric-mish-mashed "drawings"...  

We are in the middle of a room full of art supplies & projects we're soooo excited about...

We are still surrounded by Japanese craft books (& trying to figure out when the rest of the world went "Zakka-crazy."  Do you recognize that top one?  You gave that to me over 20 years ago)...

We find our family amongst artists, activists & musicians...

We, too count our pens as some of our closest & most inspiring confidants...

We never ever miss a chance to play with paper + fabric...

We are surrounded by the art of brilliant Pinoys & Pinays...

We live with an unfurling mix of possibilites...

And an organized state of creative chaos...

Our floor is covered with books we're "currently using," not reading...

They have a San Francisco palate...

We live a handmade life.  And we're Happy.  Thank you for that. We love you!  I love you!!
