Are Ya Into Graffiti?!!??!!
...Then you'd definitely be into this! Check out "The Graffiti Project". http://www.thegraffitiproject.net/home I know this is kinda old news, but I just came across the website once again. It's a pretty cool thing...Kelburn Castle in Scotland offered up it's exterior for canvas to a group of Brazilian graffiti artists. "The idea is simple and original: take the vibrant and often transient art form of Brazilian graffiti out of its predominantly urban context and apply it to the ancient and permanent walls of an historic rural castle in Scotland." Take a look at the site. I'm sure you'll be pretty impressed with the art (er, graffiti) that now covers this ancient castle. And the mainstream tells us graffiti is a nuisance! When done like this, it is definitely an art form of modern times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__C-MjmVUrU Let me know what ya think.

The Avett Brothers...check 'em out!
So, the other night I was listening to one of my favorite L.A. radio stations via the internet... www.kcrw.com ... and I caught that day's "Todays Top Tune". It is a song called "Bella Donna" from the album The Second Gleam, by the Avett Brothers. I've never heard of them before being privy to this new discovery, and thanks to KCRW for introducing them to their listeners and myself!
Take a look at the Avett Brothers website for lots of info on them: http://www.theavettbrothers.com/site.php Bella Donna is a beautiful, yet sorrowful song and I really like it. I also watched a few of the videos for other songs they have on the site and was as moved by this song: "November Blue" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV_SyNfnPxI, as I was with "Bella Donna".
The Avett Brothers sound is a little country, a little folky, a little rock & bluegrass too! They've got a unique style that I really like and I hope you will too!

...I gave in to internet peer pressure!
Hello All! Welcome to the new blog for Questionetc. Handmade Fashion Accessories!!! I've been thinking about joining this great big world of blogging for a while and kept resisting, but...I've finally given in. I hope you will enjoy what I have to share with you as the days and weeks go by.
A little about myself...I am an independent accessories designer, who works out of my home. I recentley relocated from Los Angeles to the Bay Area and am loving it in the northern half of the state! Currently, you can find my goods in a real brick & mortar storefront in The Mission in SF. The store is called Ruby Gallery and I've been selling with her for several years now. I will soon add another store to this list, but you will have to travel to SoCal to find it. Nicole, from Random Nicole will be opening a store in Sept. in Santa Ana and will be offering a lovely range of my products for sale.
You can always view my designs at my website: www.questionetc.com and email me if you see something you like. I will soon be offering my products on etsy.com ... www.questionetc.etsy.com
