this is my piece for an upcoming plush art exhibition called PLUSHED::art gone soft:: being held at purdue university, january 21 – february 1. i wish i could go!

more photos on flickr. clicky.

hi. my name is moxie and i am a supply hoarder. i’m not proud, but it’s something i tend to do. when it comes to art supplies, it’s easy to over-hoard because colors and shapes are so inspiring and you just never know what you might need when the creative urge strikes.

so, i used to be a bead person and these photos are the result of my 10 years of bead related hoarding. i haven’t used any of what’s here for over a year and thus i conclude: i’m done.

but i’m too lazy to use ebay and i really really want you to take it. please please somebody get these wonderful bead-stuffs out of my home. if you’re interested, email me at destash{.at.}weareallangry[..]com, make me an offer and we’ll work something out. for real. more photos and detail: clicky.

at least, that’s what amazon invited this blogger to consider. via neatorama.

here’s to a year that is brand spankin’ new!

moxie’s 2008 resolutions:

1. make more art

2. take less crap

3. eat more sandwiches

high five!

love the composition and the colors in this photo. and, of course, finger puppets are the best subject matter for literally every art form. i mean it. clicky.

too much coffee + moxie x etsy + odd keyword searches = taxidermy roundup:

add this amazingly cute catnip toy to the mounting list of reasons why i want a kitty to play with. there are more colors available, and other designs too, including sushi and swiss choco rolls! clicky.

i can’t help but spread the love of the batts i got from art club today. the photos don’t begin to cover it. i’m drooling. more photos on flickr. clicky

this is the second image link when you search for “fail” on the google. i don’t know why this makes me laugh, but it really, really does.

this weekend marks the end of my whirlwind of holiday art activities with two cool events!

come out for “friday at the frye” – december 17, 7 – 10pm. i’m really excited to be doing a free workshop with my hero kristen rask (of schmancy, plushyou! fame) at my favorite seattle art museum. there will be other art activities too, and a guided tour of an AMAZING exhibition – hug: recent work by patricia piccinini. go to the frye website for more details. clicky.

a cool printed event program and so much more! come say hi and buy indie for the holidays! clicky. update: i got really sick on saturday and was unable to rally to make it to the event. i heard it was AWESOME…maybe next year!
