o, world.

I am so there.

Who's with me?

The Rings Are Here!

I'm so excited! The rings I designed for the Ponoko Ten Day Design Contest came in the maill today! I found the package as I was leaving for the studio, and, of course, turned right around and came inside to open the (sealed like it contained nuclear waste, I swear to Maude) package and, of course, try them on. They'll be having a proper photo shoot in the next few days, but I wanted to show you guys what you're voting (you are voting, aren't you?) for. I've got three sets, and, while I've got to keep one for me, I plan on selling the other two on site in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for sharing in my excitement, all.

Love,
Brooke

You know you listen to too much public radio when...

..you find yourself grinding your pepper grinder over your potatoes to the tune of the theme music for 'All Things Considered'.

Speaking of NPR, have you entered the This American Life Tee Shirt Design Contest yet? Yes, yes, I know I've mentioned in several times, but I'd love to see an artist I know have the winning design! It would be, in a word, rad. Entries are due by the 28th!

This American Life Tee Shirt Design Contest!

You know it. You love it. Now you can design a tee shirt for it! This American Life is holding a tee shirt design contest. Winners receive $1,000 and their design plastered across the chests of TAL listeners across the country. For rules and more contest information, check out the contest blog entry. Happy designing!

Love,
Brooke

Renegade!

Have you applied for Renegade Craft Chicago yet? The application deadline is July 7! Don't worry, I'll remind you again in the next installment of This Week In Craft, but I thought I'd give you a heads up seeing as there's a holiday weekend coming up, one that involves fireworks and cookouts and generally NOT computers.

Love,
Brooke
