Pittsburgh Strange Art: Star Trek Quilts
We stopped in Wildcard in Lawrenceville what now is a long time ago, and I found these Star Trek quilt-wall hangings at the back of the store. So Excellent! All by Elliot McNally.
Puerto Rico, Things I Love pt. 1
Ksenia and I bumped into so many wonderful bright things over the last week, I tried to get it all into my camera or notebook — though I was prohibited and snapped at on occasion. Here are a few snapshots to start off — mostly from Old San Juan…
I came across 2 strange Bookcase Arcs — with piles of remarkably heavy books hanging across the wall, defying gravity. I’d like to build these everywhere legally allowed.

Monster/Cat Portrait Mirror
Thanks to God’s Helping Hand’s bounty of weird fabric remnants, I made off with two luxurious swatches of white furry fabric.
So finally I found a good use for it: A Monster Mirror! Also known as a Cat Mirror, as it was interpreted by many of the browsers at the Union Project sale.
I cannot put into words how much I enjoy this mirror, and I am very happy that my new sewing ally Suz also loved it, and bought it.
She also promised lots more furry kinds of fabric, maybe some velvets too, so a whole new crop of soft little monsters will be emerging soon! Now I am making a spate more to go up on Etsy and next week’s sale at the Union Project fundraiser. Attack of the Cat Monsters — faces yet to be determined.
Here are the four fabric portrait mirrors I made, and another shopper at the Union Project recommended I do some Mohawks, some side profiles, a sun or two, and straight haired ladies instead of just wild haired ones. The list goes on!

Drawn Squares: Belfast – Stranraer – London – Glasgow – Stranraer
I drew these squares of fabric (cut up sheets from a skip in the Holylands, thank you students) on the Rail and Sail over to Ciaran and back. Thank you Ciaran! And to the taxi driver in the three hour taxi from Glasgow to Stranraer, as funded by the National Rail. So thanks to them and the person who instigated the Tuesday 9:30 am Bomb Scare at Euston that set a wild day of dysfunctional transportation into action!
