Bathroom Decorations at 667

Downstairs half bath.
We needed more decorations around the house, but I didn't want to put up all the same art pieces that we've had at other places. So we are taking it slow to find the right items. I decided to make something myself out of the many fabrics in my craft collection.

Close up.

I wove different strips of blue fabrics with a little bit of color to make this for our downstairs bathroom.

Upstairs bathroom

Tina Dillman's Cookie Jar.

David's Between Katie and David; 2012; archival pigment print; 10x10 inches.

I had to stand in the shower to get them both in the photo.
David made me the photo for my birthday last month. The image appears very abstract, but it was based on a little bit of science. The very left edge of the photograph is the exact color of my eyes, the right edge perfectly matches the color of David's eyes and then there's the color spectrum we create between us. A similar Between Abbey and Patrick was made for Abbey. I thought it went well with our earth tone bathroom. Then I saw Tina's work on David's dresser just waiting for a good spot in our house & thought it was perfect. I realized while trying to take these photos that it is really difficult to photograph small bathroom spaces.

Revisiting Summer

Seems like most people are experiencing pretty cold weather these days. It might even freeze tonight in Oakland. So looking through some pictures today, Patrick and I found this squirrel enjoying the fruits of summer. Here's looking forward to that Spring thaw!


Squirrels and insects probably ate more strawberries than we did this year!
