Well, kiddies, I did it. I entered the photography contest. I'm sure I won't win, it was really more of an exercise in following through with an idea. The rules ask for a 12 second video, so that's why it looks all cracked out on speed. Nonetheless, here it is:
Video entry for Jose Villa photography workshop from Kate Skogen on Vimeo. Music is by my best girl, Amanda, aka, Tin Cup Prophette.
Jose Villa is an off-the-hook photographer (he shoots mostly weddings). Once or twice per year he hosts photography workshops. I would love nothing more than a 4-day work jaunt to Mexico, but can't afford the cost. Lucky for me, he's having a contest to win an all-expense paid trip for the November workshop.
All I have to do is submit a super stellar, kick ass video… has to be all of 12 seconds long. He picks the top 3 and then everyone gets to vote. Deadline? This Wednesday. What the what?! This Wednesday?! Holy smokes, kids! Time to kick it into gear. Do you like how I resisted saying "get 'er done"? I guess I didn't really resist! I'll try harder next time.
With very short notice, I'm weary I'll be able to accomplish this. But I am thinking if I blog about it, I'll feel a little more accountable for following through with this project (like my goals for 2010). I'll obviously keep y'all posted.

Ahh, papercuts. I love the intricacy of this fine art and love that it's really picking up some steam! More folks are making & buying papercut art. Here are a few notable pieces worth sharing:
1. Handcut paper trees from Etsy seller papercutdiecut
2. Custom Valentine cut outs from Etsy seller Papercuts by Joe
3. Toilet Paper Roll art from Yuken Teruya amazes me completely! I saw this on Design*Sponge first and looks like lushlee is credited for first blogging this.
4. Folding card from Etsy seller little paper bird.
Finally got my sweet air plants (tillandsias) all situated! I placed them in a serving platter we got as a wedding present along with some white stones I picked up on the beach in New Zealand.
You can either mist them or immerse them in water a few times per week. ORRRR, just put them in the bathroom and they'll enjoy all the mist post-shower.
