A few great articles to start with, definitely worth a read this week:
Can a Papermaker Help to Save Civilization? New York Times by Mark Levine (Read it, you will be better for it)
I love how Kimmelman starts his article: "It’s time to address the calamity that is Penn Station." and it also contains one of the best architecture quotes I have heard in a while:
"To pass through Grand Central Terminal, one of New York’s exalted public spaces, is an ennobling experience, a gift. To commute via the bowels of Penn Station, just a few blocks away, is a humiliation. -- What is the value of architecture? It can be measured, culturally, humanely and historically, in the gulf between these two places."
I survived the wisdom teeth extraction with flying colours, or so the oral surgeon said. When they were putting me under, I may or may not have told the anesthetist that he was cute - I definitely thought it. The only side effect of note is that I think I hear my own voice differently. Although this sounds crazy, it makes a bit of sense: I am now missing 4 teeth and I have a pretty significant new pair of holes at the back of my mouth where my top two wisdom teeth were. This has to have messed with the acoustics of my mouth.
I have a few new ideas for button stuff - and some requests for button trees to fulfill, I will post some pics after I get done with them.
I also have also been hired as a tutor for a high school student starting this week - so I now need to relearn Geometry (specifically finding the surface area and volume of solids) by Tuesday - that should be fun!
Goals for the week:
Button Trees, Button Facinators/Pins, Post about Manaus/Brazil in prep for a classroom event in a few weeks, new Etsy items/mailout once I reach 25 items and 10 print items. (that looks good for now.)
Finally, a few sketches to round out the evening:
