Much more to come. Pictures and videos. I only stayed through 5 houses as I needed to get the girls home but our boy Manny is with Sista felicia and hopefully all the houses will get captured.
All I can say is that it was beautiful and emotional with waves of old school tradition washing over the rooms as the women sang and embraced each other.
The videos should be spectacular and photos will be plenty.

The Restoration Works
Meet Dean Snell, owner of The Restoration Works at 16 Rogers Street. However, actually meeting Dean is not quite as easy as wanting to meet him. First you must find the entrance to the building (it’s on the side) and then climb a steep staircase up three stories to his wonderfully aloof loft that is home to his office, workspace and storage facility that is chock full of antique furniture awaiting his skillful hand.
Dean has owned and operated The Restoration Works for about 18 years, first in a garage, then his home and for the past 15 years or so in his third floor sanctuary on Rogers Street.

Chickity Check It!- Kyle Browne’s New Site
Exploratory Art : Learning from the world around us
About the Artist & Educator : Kyle Browne
Artist Statement
I create because I am compelled to. Creative expression drives my soul. A balance, a release, a meditative state of purity, a flow. Capture.
Capturing the moment, the movement, collecting the subtleties, the essence, a feeling.
A fleeting feeling expressed in painted color on a smooth delicate piece of hand-made paper, or collaged on a battered block of salty driftwood. To completely immerse myself in the quiet intense focus of excitement and discovery.
I create to clarify my mind, to allow deep thoughts to emerge, to unearth connections with images, textures and text in relationship to my world, our world. Our world – a beautiful disaster. So fragile, yet resilient.
I create to connect and build with nature, to bridge art with the environment.
To engage with the sounds, visuals, and conscious, of a swish of a flock of sand pipers simultaneously taking off for flight, the reflection and ripples of a street puddle captured between thawing ice, or the light riding a wave onto the hard sand, of a shell covered beach.
I create to understand humans’ relationship to our earth, our cultures, and to express my respect for its undying strength as it continues to amaze me.
Share. I educate because of my desire to share. I want to share these moments with others, share the artists mind, the contemplation of the beauty and life in everything. Lightness and heaviness, natural and un-natural, to release the burdens and routine of life and add a certain weightlessness to them.
To surprise the viewer and challenge their way of seeing.
I create to be whole…. will you create with me?

The most angst ridden young person I know (well from her twitter feed that’s what I glean anyhow) and also the most talented tattoo artist, Molly McKinnon has a brandy new blog-
She’d be the one I would go to if I ever got the lobster tattoo that I’ve been dreaming of for years.
This is the tattoo I’d like on my forearm-
Bu if you know me you know I’m a hairy freak and I’m not sure that tattoos are all that attractive on a hairy arm. So I put it off………..
in case you are new to the blog you can check out this link for the fishermen tattoo picture series I’ve taken from our local guys-
