I'm an International Superstar!!


Oh you don't believe me? Than what pray tell is this:



YEAAAAAHHH BOYYYY!!!!

Emmanuelle, a gorgeous lady with her own blog and shop just out the blue offered to translate it for FREE! And muthafrackers, she's a professional muthafracking translator to boot. Muthafrackers. For free. Finally my dim bulb flickered on as I realized I could offer this regular buyer (and daily convo bud) a flippin' necklace for it- duh. Lookit this ring she made with a shell bezel:

and this one:
(If you're not in Europe and you'd like the French tute, contact her directly here for it.)










I also wanted to share some of the few images I have from the professor who invited me to speak at her University.
 She makes these miniature installations-
- that you can only see through little peepholes built into walls.
 Well, she does a lot of different things but nothing's on-line because she's old fashioned.
 So I though screw it lets share pictures of her house because they're available and it's so awesome. 
Her name is Rebecca Silberman and she only learned recently via her students that she comes up when you google her name-
- and that people have been pinning these images of her home to pinterest.
 Which of course they have.
This one above is her studio. Goddamn it. See not much more on her meagre flickr. Please feel free to hound her to put more up.

Also I was so excited about my new Chucks I took a picture of me in them.


Which quickly devolved


into a selfie. I'm psyched about my hair I guess. AND I was wearing make up today.

Did I go in with a blur tool to make my skin more creamy? What? What, no, what makes you say that?

Hahah that's what I call to write a post while being excited. Hooray for the translation. Love Rebecca Silberman's home and even the fact that she is old fashioned and just recently discovered that she is popular on the net. Old fashioned people are rare spacy nowdays.

The professor's house is amazing ! It reminds me of Howl's bedroom, in Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle. Stunning !
And, of course, you're popular, Marina... It's no surprise. ^^

Well, thanks for the big plug, Fanci! Of course I knew you could find stuff looking though Google...just didn't realize how easy it was for students to cruise the Flickr account that I set up to show YOU a couple of things!

I have been LOVING the discussions about making and how we view ourselves--whether we use the artist label or not. Honestly, I have never felt more connected or encouraged by a conversation that what you have gotten started here...I love all your peeps!

And you and your Chuck Taylors are adorable. I just got my daughter a pair of grey high tops for Christmas!

I have been meaning to order this tut for a long time now. I just sent it through and am looking forward to making my own gypsy bangle stack. I love your free spirit and your designs and follow your blog and list it on my own blog. Have a fab day!

I have been commenting here for like ever and I only just noticed it says 'participaNtion' above the comment box. I'm not wearing pants; I'm often not wearing pants. Am I no longer welcome here?

ps - that house is mad creative, I couldn't live there though what with my ptsd and need for control. My face would be like the cat's face.

pps- this is you: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/172122016978358023/
