TBD Art Exhibit: Olive Stew
Olive Stew First Friday Art Exhbit at the tbd design firm Loft
June - July 2011When you mouth the "Olive Stew," it looks like you are saying, "I Love you."
Try it.
This happened to me once. I boy I like in middle schoool looked at me and mouthed, "Olive Stew." and it broke my heart when he explained the joke.
Such is an appropraite title for the various ways we struggle to find, be in and understand love. So let's dive in.
I asked a handful of writers, photgraphers, illustators to adderss how the struggle to find love and belonging plays into their lives. They responded in their own way, each telling a unique story about their triumphs and failures. From missed connection to praying after sex our stories are true accounts of the experiences we face.

i buy stuff cuz i think it's pretty...
so i found a button-down men's shirt with the most beautiful fabric at a thrift store... and i knew that the fabric would transform into something new and lovely, like maybe a summer top... or a skirt!
here is another detail shot of the print, so you can bask in the awesomeness!
i decided to make it into a skirt, so i cut off the sleeves, cut off the top, sewed up the sides, and sewed the front along the buttons after the second one down to prevent peekaboo while i'm out and about.
rawkin' my tomboy stylie!

sweater recon!
i work retail, so my weekends rarely match up with everyone else's. i've been wanting a bit of "me time" and what better way to spend it than making stuff! i'm a chronic project starter, so i decided on little recons (reconstructed project) to get into it.
first step: put on kettle! drink tea or french press coffee cuz it's nice and gives a little boost. put on music! i prefer last.fm i've been listening to a lot of "iceland" or "twee" tag radio.
i've had a turtleneck sweater for ages that i haven't worn since i moved to portland. i couldn't get rid of it... nothing is wrong with it... and i love how long the sleeves are!
i figured this sweater would be much more flattering as a scoop neck sweater, and i like red... so i cut and added red stitching around the neck hole and the sleeves, cuz i thought it would be cute. this next pic shows the shape of it afterward...
and here are some of the little details! hopefully after the sweater gets washed, the neck will fray a bit. i made the first round of stitching pretty tight so it shouldn't fray past it.
viola! new sweater for fall!

Mixed CD.
Before she left I made her a little playlist of artists I thought she might like and sealed it in embroidery fabric stitched up with embroidery thread. Before I did that I sewed on a little paint sample patch, drew some stars and basically called it a day.
