Adventures in NYC

It was a whirlwind adventure in NYC last Saturday night. We were on a mission to make it into the sold out Die Antwoord show, and to make it to the Cheryl Will Ruin Your Life dance party. The fates were on our side, and we were not only able to make it to both events, but we also made new friends along the way. Thanks NYC, you were a blast!!!

 

unicorn sighting

 

A very magical unicorn, for a very special soon-to-be seven years old. My favorite part is the unicorn’s rainbow mane with seven cuts of seven fuzzy rainbow colors and seven cuts of seven silky rainbow colors, coming together to making the mane super dreamy.

 

Halfsies

Watch out bandits. These crimefighters are hot on your trail.

New Huck and Stuff half masks, super comfy party-wear. Get yours today.

HoHoHo at Huck and Stuff

Tis the season. The temperature is finally falling here in New England and we all begin to scatter into a holiday haze.

I was invited to create a tree for Greylock Federal Credit Union’s participation in The Berkshire Museum’s annual Festival of Trees. This year’s theme being Under The Big Top made for a great inspiration to crochet a Dr. Seuss-ish Christmas tree.

 

Art on Ice

Hey friends, lets all go to North Adams! Okay? Okay!

I just finished making this new style of ultimate headwear: wire framed animal heads, just in time for the holidays. They are debuting at Gallery 51′s annual 99 Show. Sure to be a good time.

Party Reviews

Went to a party, a fabulous party, and was written about a bit…. with fellow party goers Daphne Guiness and Salman Rushdie… swoon

Raise your hand if you are headed to Miami for Art Basel, Art Miami, Art Now, Design Miami, or any of the dozen other art happenings in Miami in December.

If you find yourself in the tropical art oasis, stop by Base (a fabulous designer boutique) and check out my latest collection.

Thank you to all the people who came out to wear masks the other day, and all the people who didn’t come out to wear masks but agreed when we begged and pleaded.

 

Autumn with Braidface

Autumn could not pass without an opportunity to capture the beauty we have here in Western Massachusetts. Thank you Eric Korenman for the amazing photos and the great fun getting them.

Big thanks to model Kelly Smedvig.

what for

Sometimes I’m asked what people do with these masks.

Artist Walton Ford commissioned a mask to be warn at his upcoming opening at the Paul Kasim Gallery.

And at the Three Letter Man Gallery  in London you can see a fox embroidering in the second story window. Also seen across the internets www.hop-skip-and-jump.blogspot.com and in Time Out London.

and then there was this

braidface continues

Here is a mask I have been working on for months. It stumped me for the longest time, but I think I just might figure it out really soon.

Some masks are so drastically different in person versus in photos. It is difficult to figure out how to create something that translates well into both 2D and 3D viewing.

Braidface has been a struggle to find the loft and motion of the braid. Today I came close. Thank goodness, because we have a photo shoot scheduled for next week. I am very excited to bring Braidface out to collaborate with the brilliant New England fall foliage.

Keep your eyes out for a new photo set, coming soon.
