From yesterday: a few snapshots I took during the ERMIE Collection 2, 2013 shoot (that means new work- clothing, jewelry, home goods- coming to the SHOP soon).

I worked with some of my wonderful collaborators from past shoots, and a new model-- actress Ayanna Berkshire. Jessica Taft Langdon, and Bryan Sanderson of The Palatines and Weltenbuerger, respectively, were kind enough to loan me some of their beautiful shoes they recently collaborated on together.

summertime

My in-laws were in town last week, so we had a small get-together to celebrate. 

Tomory smoked some ribs with homemade bbq sauce, I made some spicy adobo pinto beans from scratch, Madeleine made cornbread and collard greens,  Max made a salad with radishes, romaine and creme fraiche (and brought some killer wines--one from 1980!!) and Hadley made a peach cobbler.

A perfect summer evening: friends, family, and great food. It was also the evening of the supermoon--and the skies were particularly beautiful that night.

Garden Party

This past May 5, artists Carolyn Castaño and Hadley Holliday welcomed a group of artists to Carolyn's

Solano Canyon garden. It was the first in a series of collaborative "drawing" 

events for their curatorial project Garden Party.

During the sessions artists are free to interpret the idea of plein air 

by drawing, painting, taking photographs, collage, making cuttings, or simply 

hanging out for the day. The events will culminate in a catalog and 

exhibition at the Fellows of Contemporary Art this September.

I took some photographs documenting the May 5th happening. Check out more of my photographs from the Cinco de Mayo event (and images from Garden Party #2) on Hadley's Blog!

Thank you Hadley and Carolyn!

ERMIE at THE Unique Camp!

I am very excited to announce that I will be conducting a dyeing workshop at the Unique Camp, which will take place June 6-9th! My workshop will feature a basic introduction to color theory, dyeing techniques with both natural indigo and synthetic dyes, in a non-judgmental, supportive setting. I'll assist each student with their work- everyone will complete a take home project! 

The Unique Camp is:

"A 4-day creative conference that strategically curates workshops and experiences in three areas to stimulate both the mind and body.  There are small business workshops, creative art classes and outdoor challenges - all designed to help entrepreneurs thrive by stimulating both sides of the brain. 

 Registered Campers will choose the classes and workshops best suited for them from a long list of offerings such as Finding & Working with Investors, Product Photography that Sells, Search Engine Optimization, Finding Your Voice/Telling Your Story, and How to be a Great Boss.  

Just like at summer camp, each day Campers attend scheduled classes and then have 'free time' when they can try their hand at archery, go for a horseback ride, lounge by the pool, nap under the shade of a huge pine tree, and loads more"

Registration is still open and there are a few spots left! Check out some of the other speakers here- it's quite a line up!

I hope to see you there!
