I’ve been researching Mexican saddle blankets at Cowan’s Auctions for a personal project, and gracious — few things are more interesting to me at the moment.

Of course, I’m throwing in some beaded hide leggings for good measure. You know. Just because.

Chilly? This blanket is reserved for the serious cartographist.

Is that even a word? Cartographist?

Chanda makes patterns out of the shapes left behind.

Eden will always, always be a favorite of mine. I mean, gracious — she does it all. Textiles, drawings, paintings… if she was a gymnast, she’d win all-around.

OMG remember that part in Aladdin where the genie may or may not have said ‘Take off your clothes’ to Jasmine? This is sort of like that, but way cooler.

And I don’t know what one would do with a bubble headwrap, but I care not, b/c it’s totally awesome. Go, Ben, go!

Lucy is 1/2 of Lazy Soosan, one of my very favorite zine-makin’ lady crews to date. And look at Lucy’s cute little friend, Jasmine Tea! I’m sure the three of them have such fun together during their work days.

Also, word on the street is that Jasmine Tea is mighty cheap. I mean, $3.50? Come on!
p.s. A Lazy Soosan giveaway is coming to you verrrry soon. Sit tight. ;)
