{next .99 cent laidoff pouch, april 17th @ wusketeer}

{long time no post...here is a sneek peek of the next 99cent pouch that will be posted to wusketeer etsy on april 17th!}

I started making the .99cent laid off pouch for the annual observance of my getting laid off, November 17th, 2008 from a scummy Los Angeles architecture firm. (I will refrain to mention any names and yes I suppose I'm still a little bitter.) I will be making a .99 cent pouch every month for a year which will be posted on the 17th of each month.

Are you one of the laid off, have your hours been cut, mandatory furlough or just short of loot? If so, this is the perfect pouch for you! Could also be given as a cheap gift for a friend you don't really like or a gift for a boss that chaps your hide...

{wusketeer booth @ craft happy, freakmont ca} lolz

{wusketeer was iffy about doing this craft fair because it was in freakmont and since this was our first show we really didn't know what to expect...BUT we loved showing our stuff there! the venue was sweet, sellers very friendly, and shelby and andrew very helpful, professional and fun. the lil town of niles is friggin awesome too. i could spend an entire day in the record store on H Street. i need to go back soon to shop in the antique stores! thanks to all our family and friends that made it out to support!}

btw...i need to take a course in sales or as waggie says i need to go to finishing school. lolz.

Zeka Pouch {.99 cent laid off pouch}

come and get me...

{tea bag saucers}

clay: jamaica
glaze: clear crackle in reduction, white englobe
measurement: 2 5/8"-3" diameter, 7/16" high
studio: echo ceramics - los angeles, ca
artist: k. miguel

{i made these to hold my used tea bags. they are thrown off the hump, painted with white englobe and etched with a sprout pattern.}

{ceramic lamp}

clay: navajo white
glaze: sea green in reduction
measurement: 9.5" high, shade measures 6" high
studio: echo ceramics - los angeles, ca
artist: k. miguel

{this lamp took me a long time to finish. the shade took about 12 hours to carve, the round base about 3 months (this i'm not sure about), glazing about 8 hours. the entire process took me about 4 months to complete. for the base, i initially threw a cylindrical shape but decided that didn’t look right so i redesigned and for about 3 months i tried making this round ball shape. if you've seen my birdhouses that i've posted in the past these are actually all of my failed attempts at the lamp base. all of the hardware was bought on the interweb and i wired it myself. viola!}

{another bento}

{top tier} spinach soup
{bottom tier} turkey sandwich, cherry tomatoes, flower cut carrots

...sorry this picture sucks. i was up until 1:30am making this bento and didnt want to spend time on the images. sometimes i start these things late at night and it takes me fur-evers to finish them...

{more terriums...old ones revised}

{i found this moss at lake castaic today. i was excited to replace my old brown moss with the fresh green. i don't know if this is normal but i suprisingly found a 3 inch worm in one of the terriums. it looked happy so i left it in there. hopefully it can not push open the top and escape. gag.}

{spinach soup}

anyone who knows me knows that i'm in love with soup. this recipe is from la casa de naggie manwatkar. its so friggin good!

{ingredients: 1 bag baby spinach, 3 cloves garlic coarsely chopped, 1/2 onion coarsely chopped, 1 small potato chopped, 4 cups chicken stock, 1 cup milk, some nutmeg, some salt, some pepper}

{procedure: add olive oil to a pan (or butter). add onion, garlic and potatoes. stir until onion is translucent. add spinach and stir until wilted. add chicken stock and salt and cover it with a lid. let simmer for 15 minutes. add milk, pepper and grate some nutmeg and blend it until soupy. let is simmer for a few more minutes.}

your soup is ready! serve with crackers or toasted sourdough bread. slurp!

{oh complain!}

{this was a project request from wagsters. it's a steam bird. i've never heard of one before i made this. it's supposed to be placed in the middle of a pie to help the steam escape and prevent the top crust from bursting. fancy pants!}
