Handmade Nation

This past week I was interviewed by the lovely Sister Diane aka Diane Gilleland of CraftyPod.com It will mark my very first podcast interview ever (yay, thanks Sister Diane), which I suppose is something to mark down in the books along with being on TV and Radio. The interview was really very nice balance of business and casual discussion about the Documentary. I think it will go live (is that the correct term with a podcast?!) sometime in April, I will of course let you know when that happens! I was very proud, I didn't swear once.

I spent a good part of yesterday photographing new donations for our etsy.com shop about 15 new items will be added this week, although not tomorrow because I will be in Chicago to see my boyfriend's band play at the Empty Bottle, and not Tuesday because I will be finishing up my piece for the quickly approaching show at Columbia College of Chicago Called

"Pass It On! Connecting Contemporary Do-It-Yourself Culture"

From their site: "DIY is an exhibition that will be on display at A+D Gallery of Columbia College, Chicago IL in Spring 2007. This site represents a space to discuss ideas about the exhibition and Do-it-Yourself concepts in culture and history." I will be making a story board of sorts on the film that will be a part of the show. I'll post pictures on the flickr account when it's done.

This is a pretty complex graph from their site that reminds me of a big ol' text book, it's mapping out the DIY Landscape, really you should just check out the site.

So remember, this week is etsy updates. I'll post pictures when the new work goes live an don't forget about our t-shirt and tote sale, a bunch are left at the $12 price (except women's american apparel mediums, those are gone).
