Thank you Ksusha!

Felted Mason Jar

Ksenia reports that Philly hipsters have brought the Mason Jar back to the streets, them and the Amish, so why not? A tutorial on felted mason jar insulating cover from Wee Folk Arts.

Grandma Approved Underwear

Ksenia + I dreamed them up on the coast of Old San Juan, here they are, all up for sale this coming Saturday at the I Made It Market in the South Side Works. I’ve done them in all sizes and cuts, including big puffy huge underwear, genuine Grandma Underwear!

The Happy Birthday Ksenia Collage Project

Margaret Hagan — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:21:01 +0000

The annual Ksenia Birthday Challenge this year was met (almost on time too!) with this really quite terrific Happy Birthday Ksenia Collage! Working off my Christmas framed photo collage brainstorm, this time I went Mechanical Turking, gathering lots of imaged birthday greetings from around the Ksushaverse. And here are the results, which Ksenia has hung on her wall + adores freely and openly. Happy Birthday to Ksenia once again!

Turtle : I know! The perfect gift.

This Can Heal You: The Navajo Rug

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:05:29 +0000

I have been collecting therapies, strange things that are supposed to defeat disease, bring health, stop death. There was Ksenia’s Simoron Prescription from Russia. I saw this new one, the Navajo Rug, late in the evening, after everyone else had gone to bed. It was also connected to Ksenia, her thesis adviser at Penn is one of the Detectives on the program. Thank you PBS.

The Gorbenko Family Faces

Margaret Hagan — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:17:59 +0000

A tribute to my favorite Russians in the whole world! I have been promising them to Ksenia for half a year, and I am finally forcing myself to do something with them.

What are they? Technically, cardboard cut, painted, and lacquered. But in my imagination (though admittedly without the most fidelity to facial realities), they are all six members of the extended Gorbenko family!

I think I will magnetize them on the backs, so she can have them talking to each other on the refrigerator. I will make some thought bubbles that she can stick notes onto… an everchanging interactive cartoon in her kitchen!

My other thought had been to circle them around a seven inch mirror, affixing them to a fabric background and making a large portrait mirror. But it’s better to keep them mobile and in action! Hello to Vologda…

The Buliboo

Relaxation Buliboo

The Buliboo is a dog-monkey-robot-blob creature who is out on parole, under Ksenia’s stewardship. Mostly respectable, but you’ve got to watch out!

Happy Birthday Ksenia!

Margaret Hagan — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:02:49 +0000

Who knows when Ksenia’s birthday is? It changes every year! So why not just make it every day — and send a robot, monster, or bizarro animal to enforce some birthday wishes in her life!

P.S. You can print out your own uncolored version, color it up, and send it to her yourself. Any and every day you think she deserves it!
