Wedding Invitations

admin — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:30:33 +0000

I am getting married this summer! These are my invitations, designed by me, and printed at the wonderful Alpha Graphics of Chicago. The text is lorem-ipsumed because as much as I’m an open book on the internet, putting a copy of my actual wedding invitation on the internet felt too much like inviting the internet to my wedding. The birds are red-winged blackbirds, since they’re an early and happy sign that spring is here! I consider them a very celebratory bird. And before you ask, yes, all the birds pictured are males. The females are awesome in their own talented and less show-offy way. And how could I make a post about a wedding without mentioning ERIC the love of my life <3 <3 <3

Spikefruit

This is a fruit I thought of. The basic shape is coil-built, and then I added on the spines. The glazes are “fig” and “red 5″ (which has a lot of copper, hence the silvery edge to it).

Bird Phenology T-shirt

Entry into the North American Bird Phenology Program t-shirt contest. The Bird Phenology Program is an awesome project of crowd-sourced citizen science! From 1880 – 1970, there was a national program for bird watchers to write down their observations (place, time, season, species, number seen, etc) and mail them into a central location. Now, volunteers are transcribing scans of those cards into a database of free, public bird population and migration data.

To celebrate the Christmas season, I baked 8.5 cakes and decorated them with delicate paper cutouts of pigs frolicking in the snow. Merry Christmas, little pigs and piglets!
