I've moved my blog...

Hey, everybody, I've moved my blog onto my actual website. I'll leave this one up for a little while to help redirect folks, but here's the new location:

Lulu Smith Studio Blog

Thanks, and drop me a comment over there!

Hey, where'd my bees go?

Symposium

O.K. So - the question is to go or not to go. We in Seattle have such a great metals scene. Some very hard working individuals who care about keeping the rest of us inspired get a great group of speakers together once a year for our symposium. Only hitch is that I and my girls are stupid sick - have been for 7 days now with no end in sight to this head cold. I really, really want to go...Some amazing speakers this year. Fred Fenster and Kristin Mitsu Shiga just for starters....May I please be well by 7 a.m. tomorrow!

I'm going to Milan!

Okay so not quite... But my work is there for a fabulous show with my new European representative. Pretty exciting....

Sleep deprivation....makes us say funny things

A conversation between Matthew and me.......

Him: "Aren't there too many pig jokes out there right now for you to be putting your face in the cake pan?"
Me: "You know I'm a heathen"
Him: "Heathen yes, cretin no"
Me: "Yeah, just put a little lipstick on me and I turn from cretin to heathen in no time"

Geeking out on Kuler

My husband found this fantastic site a while back and I've been meaning to post about it on here.
Its called kuler and has lots of amazing color groups created by media and graphic artists of all kinds. Very interesting and inspiring. Check it out.

My Girls

Alrighty, so many of you know I've been a bit preoccupied lately. I promise I'll get back to posting about studio stuff at some point. But, with enough requests from those of you who blur that client/friend/family line to see photos of the girls I figured I better get some up. After 8 weeks of colic from Viv, we are finally in the clear and she is a much happier baby. Georgia (BBSE) - best big sister ever - is attempting with every ounce of her existence not to constantly maul her little sister with love. And failing miserably, so I'm on constant patrol.

Some might ask "what is the relevance of postings of your personal life through your professional website?" Though the girls are a currently a huge distraction from my life as a maker - they are also a huge influence in the context of things. My blog is a discussion of my PROCESS and life... not an exhibition space. My studio and home are connected by a breezeway. Metaphorically, a blog is just like that breezeway. When Georgia was about 3 yrs. old she did a bunch of really cool line drawing back in 2003 that inspired a whole new series of designs that I unveiled in 2005.... and the beat goes on....
