I imagined you there
I imagined you with me
I imagined you bare

I see you in the trees
I see you in my dreams
Your voice in my ear
A fragment of you in my mind

The first assignment was to wrap a gift using only supplies purchase at Walgreen’s which I felt was a great way to push the students to be creative and think on their feet.

Our teacher then took the class to a Walgreen’s and had everyone buy supplies while she stood watch near the registers. I remember one of the classmates buying a can of Campbell’s ravioli or some such thing. He bought it because the ravioli was filled with beets and he was going to use that to color something.

I remember buying graphing paper, black shoe polish and poster board. My idea was to cut out a stencil from the poster board then use the shoe polish to stain the design onto the graphing paper. It was around this time that I woke up. I really wish I could have seen the project done. :smile:

I’ve posted two new videos to my Vimeo/zoblue account. I love watching the city’s buildings move as I walk down the sidewalk and I haven’t hurt myself so far. :razz: Mostly I try to be very aware of where the corners are and watch for any cracks in the sidewalk.

One of the videos is a recording to a waterfall in the plaza of the Aon Center. It’s a lovely little waterfall but it is pretty loud. I’ll try to post more videos of “moments” in the city. The other video is a reflection of one building in another building’s facade. The reflection is very fun and twisty!

I found a lovely pattern for sewing up some fabric slippers and I fell in love with the idea of wearing my favorite fabrics on my little tootsies! Pattern may be found here: Elle Tie-on slippers. I used some cotton canvas on the outside and the inside is a cute ducks pattern.

I really want to make some with fleece in the inside for extra luxury and softness. :smile:

So I made a handbag and I love it! I used fabric I bought on ReproDepot.com that I fell in love with when I saw it. I couldn’t help but make something beautiful with it.

My sister bought me a sewing machine for my birthday and I’ve been sewing up a storm! Here’s a shot of a flower on fabric I purchased on ReprotDepot Fabrics. I’m making a handbag following a tutorial for a silk pleated and darted purse. The fabric I used for the outside is 100% cotton and the lining might be polyester, I think. I really love the pattern on the fabric, it has big red clouds and different colored flowers. It’s dreamy.

I alternate the yarn every two rows. It will most likely take me forever :) The pattern is # 91 in the Japanese book Crochet Patterns Book 300.

So my favorite band Zoé has a song Espectro Sol that is on an album that MySpace put out. I really and truly love this song so here are the lyrics with translation.

Zoé – Espectro Sol (Spectral Sun)

Y parece que encontré la transmisión,
de lejos veo mejor
y hablo con mi sintetizador.
Espejo lobular,
no me dejes de contener
que pierdo la propulsión
y no me quites la proyección,
que quiero resucitar.

Estuviste cerca de perder la calma,
por un trozo de universo,
y las moléculas se trastornan,
dormían,
espectro sol.

Estuvimos cerca de perder la calma,
por un trozo de universo,
y las moléculas se trastornan,
dormían,
espectro sol.

Lucifer,
dejame vivir en paz!

It seems I have found the transmission
I see better from far away
and I speak with my synthesizer.
Lobular mirror
don’t stop containing me
because I lose my propulsion
and don’t take away my projection
because I want to resuscitate

You were close to losing your calm
for a chunk of the universe
and the molecules upset themselves
they slept
spectral sun

We were close to losing our calm
for a chunk of the universe
and the molecules upset themselves,
they slept,
spectral sun

Lucifer,
let me live in peace!

Zoé

I can’t imagine what is going on or what the singer is trying to say but I really love the visuals I see in my head. :) It’s a little taste of this image I found on Flickr:
