This is the project I'm finishing for the "Sketchbook Project 2011". I've choosen the theme "This is not a sketchbook" and I made a story.
A very very very simple story...

Bebe sleeps with her eyes open. It's kind of creepy. Also, no matter how gently you try to wake her up, she always seems shocked. I swear, just for second, she has no idea where she is or who you are.
Project: Bulbes
Location: Designhuis
Understanding digital media as a public sphere Alexandre Burton and Julien Roy generate their environments by working in the midst and on the edges of digital media extending the range of visual and audio vocabularies. They intersect digital forms, structures and patterns with analog time- and space frames and their physical phenomena, broadening the 101 of the interstice of virtual world and its material grounds.
The installation consists of up to 64 large (diameter: 20 cm) 1000 Watt light bulbs, organized in a rectangular matrix. The bulbs are hanging from the ceiling at about one meter from the floor, composed to generate an environment that resonates in its light- and sound-qualities.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
Currently working on the interior wiring, brake lines, panels, etc.

Craftivism: Making a Difference in the World~ One Stitch at a Time
KnitLit group, spring 2011 Haverstraw Middle School, Haverstraw, NY
People are doing it. They are doing it on subways, in restaurants and on airplanes. They are doing it in baseball stadiums, movie theaters and in the park. They are doing Craftivism and everywhere you turn you can find people of all ages, races, creeds and religions participating in what has become a global phenomenon of making the world a better place- one stitch at a time.
The term “craftivism”, hybrid of the words craft + activism, was coined in 2003 by creator and knitter, Betsy Greer. It is a movement based upon the idea that a person’s time and talent can really make a difference in the world. Most craftivists are knitters and crocheters looking to find different and more meaningful ways to share their craft and it is being used to bring attention to a multitude of causes. Craftivists help to bring about positive change in the world through their skills.
Some of the causes targeted in the craftivism movement are environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-sweatshop, anti-war a well as various personal causes such as breast cancer awareness, literacy, homelessness, domestic violence and children born into poverty. Knitters and crocheters around the world participate in covert “yarn-bombing” escapades, mimicking graffiti street art only with hand knitted fabrics sewn around trees, light poles and statues using their art to beautify the things around them.
It is here that I introduce you to New Yorker Betsy Rodman, a fellow knitter and craftivist. Betsy is the founder of Project Scarf. Project Scarf is bringing knitters from all over the world to join in creating the world’s longest scarf. Separate sections of knitted scarves are sent in to and assembled by Betsy to form a larger scarf. What does one do with the world’s longest scarf, you might ask? When the project is complete, the sections will be disassembled and the individual scarves are distributed to various organizations to provide to help keep warm those who have little.
Betsy also founded the KnitLit program in her local school. This program teaches kids the skill of knitting. Squares are knitted and sewn together to form blankets which are also distributed to those in need. The kids involved in the program choose where to donate. However, this ain’t your grandma's knitting bee- these kids also listen to great books on audio and discuss them as they are knitting. Betsy has had tremendous success in her school and hopes to one day be able to bring KnitLit to schools across the nation. I got to ask Betsy a few questions about herself and her programs.

I'd been looking for a personal project for a little while when about 12 months ago, one found me.
A foster parent approached me explaining about Life Books. The history of a child in care which travels through the care system and documents their lives and their experiences in the absence of a constant family member/parent.
Many children in care never have a photography session at the key stages that we typically take for granted. No newborn session, no cake smashes, often no images with siblings if they too are in care.
In my past life, I worked in social care, with street children and families in crisis and I didn't know about these life books and hadn't considered why they might be needed.
Normally, I am not permitted to release any images taken. I certainly cannot name the children, parents, foster child or foster family but this one is a little different and so permission was given.
A child voluntarily placed for adoption, and given to a couple who had been waiting many years. An open adoption where the biological family will remain in the child's life. One of the lucky ones.
The images taken this time will go to both the biological mother and also the adoptive parents. Good luck with you new family, little one. Great things await you. x
Ah, if there had beena Project Runway back in the 1980s!!! Here I am, looking very designerish, creating a wedding dress for a friend, Julia, who wanted a simple but elegant dress. Being a costume designer, I was inspired by the 1930s, and I designed a cream satin charmeuse dress, with a bias cut skirt and top with dolman sleeves, a dip in the back and bugle & crystal bead embroidery around the neckline.
Here we are at a fitting at the dressmakers studio, owned by my friend Joy. It was called "By Hand" and specialized in custom dressmaking down in Rancho Palos Verdes
In the MBA program, I had to take a project management course where we had to complete an actual project for an external stakeholder. Our external stakeholder was the SFU School of Business, Graduate Programs, and we sent a weather balloon up to 100,000' of elevation with a camera, video camera, and some hops attached to it. When it returned to earth, we tracked it down with a triangulated radio device and recovered everything. Along the way, we got some pretty great pictures and some even better memories (although I wish I could forget about driving 3500km in the span of 72 hours).
