RACHEL CRAVEN












The first time I saw Rachel what struck me was her face that seemed straight out of a Thin Man novel. Refined and Beautiful. The second thing I noticed was the super hot jumpsuit she was wearing that would make me look like a transvestite but that looked fantastic on her. She has an eye for combining subtle with bold that I've learned carries over to her very beautiful textile line.

As she prepares for her launch at HEATH, I came over to take a look at what she's been working on.
Her work is gorgeous. Natural fabrics combined with geometric patterns and unexpected pops of color. Arrows and dots arranged in different ways on table clothes, napkins, pillows and scarves.  My favorite- a white table cloth with bright neon yellow arrows running down the middle. Unexpected and lovely.

G.G.



 Dorothy Moore now known as G.G. since the birth of her first great grandchild 16years ago.

She has candy in every nook and cranny and thinks we're cruel when we tell Hugo no more. 
I never thought I would love a fake tree until I saw hers. Heavy with ornaments that have stories of their own. 
Her kisses are quick pecks of a half dozen.
She's never driven a car.
Legend has it, her kids were all potty trained by 1.

G.G.
 my son's Great Grandmother.

OLD SCHOOL PICNIC AREA


This is where is all goes down. I'm pretty sure I heard "Rapper's Delight" being piped in.

STICKER




Going through stuff in my studio I found my old camera case. This is how I use to roll... .
Although I didn't roll because it didn't have wheels so I more like dragged it.
