This is one of my all-time favorites, an annual Halloween ritual on the living room floor. I’m thinking yarn with sparkles might be a good choice next season…

Enjoy,

I would like to do this craft with my daughter and blog about it. I will, of course, link back to you. Would that be okay?

I have been drawing most of my life and have been painting for 13 years. I never really knew what drove me to create, but I’ve always known that I’m not truly happy unless I’m creating. I just recently started wondering why I feel so strongly the need to create. I haven’t yet found the answer(s), but am still working on it. All I know is that I must listen to the voices in my head.

I don’t know if you’re still interested in Kaz Nomura since this was posted a year ago, but my magazine recently interviewed and featured him in our summer issue. You can find the article here: https://www.mochimag.com/2010/06/musician-kaz-nomura-opens-up-about-life-on-the-road/. Just thought you might be interested 🙂

I’ve been truly impressed – this has been hands down the most engaging journal I’ve picked up in a while! Glad you enjoyed it too.

Complete agreement – I read it cover to cover in just two sittings. For the busy NYC lifestyle – that’s a near impossibility.
