thanks to www.itsnicethat.com for the unexpected spike in traffic on the site today. it's usually a pretty small party on burstofbeaden.com, but this morning there's people all over the house, sitting in the stairwell and making out in the closets. It's pretty great.

power in numbers



the nucleus gallery in alhambra has this thing every year where a whole bunch of people do little 5x7 pieces and sell them at a show and part of the proceeds go to the 'make a wish' foundation'. I did a paper cut out. I wanted to use tissue paper, but i couldn't find any i liked, so i used markers on velum and cut that out instead. It turns out to be a pretty good process, cause you can get sort of soft variation in the colours, and velum is really sturdy, so i could cut out all those little notches without messing up the paper. it's called 'two bears and a sunrise'.
