Look at this picture......
Govenator, Yosi Sergant and what is that thing in the background? Oh hey! Its Mr. Giant Giant Giant Sequoia!
Total awesomeness.
Hi!
Hi everybody, once again i have managed to drop off the face of the earth. i apologize for being a bad blog mommy.
My reason for the disappearance are as follows,
first, i was busy getting my installation together for manifest hope dc: (pictured above) unfortunately i wasn't able to be there, but i found this photo on
of my trees, i think it worked pretty well, even though i wasn't able to install them myself. yay for the installation team!
second, i have been moving into my NEW STUDIO! yay! hi tree has officially moved out of my living room (thank god) into my very own studio space in the
here in highland park. and come to find out my neighbor here in the gallery is
. We are already talking about starting a north east LA etsy street team.
I dont have any pictures of the studio yet, but i will have some up asap.
Last but not least i have made a hi tree crib bumper, its a bunch of my bitty trees attached to each other to make a tree wonderland for those little tiny nugget babies. I shipped this off to pregnancy and newborn magazine last week along with mr. oak tree. Im still debating on wether or not to put one up for sale, it would be pretty pricey!
All four of bumpers can come apart so that when little nugget has grown out of the crib you could detach all of the trees from one another and have a bunch of little trees to play with.
you will have to use your imagination to picture this on a crib, i didn't have one accessible for photos....
hellllllloooo washington dc
Guess who is going to the
installation in DC (ill give you 2 guesses, but you might only need one)
Mr. Giant Giant Giant Sequoia!
This will be by far the biggest and best event i have done in hi tree's 9 month existence. There are some big names involved with this installation including –
& Spike Lee and a ton of incredible artists, Including my own awesome pals
and
.
I am currently still in Jacksonville, tomorrow i will be stealing him from the Burrito Gallery to ship him off to his new temporary home. This next week is going to be crazy!
Also, keep an eye on Sucker, i am sitting across from her this very moment and she is stitching away at some super cute new stuff for her
. (sucker aka Christina is my brother's girlfriend and an occasional hi tree helper, when im in over my head)
ok! well stay tuned for more news very soon!!
ok, i know
2 blog posts in one day is probably tacky, but ask me if i care......
i made a purse today! vintage sheet + felt + thread + sewing machine = cuteness!
the only problem is, cant i just keep it? :( i dont think i can keep this one, that was not my intention, so this will be up in my etsy shop very soon, as soon as im done drooling all over it.....
enough of that, here it is.....
Owls!
hoot hoot! im working on owls this weekend. here are the first run of orange owls, one dude is stuffed for hugging and cuddling purposes, and the other, is....... going..... on a purse. what? yup ive given up my purse making hiatus. so keep an eye out this week. its time to make some wicked awesome bags.
Hello!
Well, there is so much going on over here in lala land. I have quite a few new trees that i will be adding to my shop as soon as i get them photographed, as well as some new owl and mushroom fun stuff.
Im going on week #3 of being my own boss, and i have to say, i wake up earlier everyday and i am way more motivated then i ever thought i could be. There has been no shortage of work either! Its been so wonderful.
Now i am looking for a studio space, i need to get the heck out of my living room, its killing me! (If you live in the LA area and you know of anywhere affordable, hook a sister up!)
Today i just shipped out a fat wholesale order to Tokyo, i am very excited about having my work over there, i think its a good fit. So now im all caught up and ready to start preparing for
. If you live here in La and you would like tickets to go, i have 10! please let me know if you would like any of them, i think i only need 4, so the rest are up for grabs. I am pretty sure this will be one of the best gift markets ever, you could get all of your christmas shopping done in one place all the while buying hand made. perfect :)
A few pictures from Sunday at the Arroyo Arts Collective rediscovery tour here in Highland park....
