Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design
Crafting is spreading all across the states -- it's infectious and inspiring. "The 65-minute movie documents a movement of artists, crafters and designers that recognize a marriage between historical techniques, punk and DIY (do it yourself) ethos while being influenced by traditional handiwork, modern aesthetics, politics, feminism and art.It includes interviews with more than 50 artists in 15 cities who explain how the new wave of craft, "forges a new economy, lifestyle and burgeoning art community that is based on creativity, determination and networking," says Faythe Levine, author

However, the features are outstanding. Starting with it's 8MP for great blow ups, with face detection your subjects will always be in focus, 4x optical zoom to bring the action up close, low light technology and image stabilizer rounds out just a few of the highlights. I remember when camera's with these features were 4 times the size!

My first book and my first cook off, oh say Christmas 1996 was from this fab book. I feel like cracking the cook wide open for Christmas and inviting the world to taste my delicious recreations. Perhaps I will do a Perlanegra/Frida Kahlo 1 year project and blog about it. Perhaps the LA Times will cover it and then a book deal will inspire a movie about it. LOL!

The soundtrack to the movie single is wonderful but the film is so so, a bit boring. This was romantic comedy that made more sense in the last five years than it did in 1992 when I was just beginning to understand what or who I was going to be. The movie is set in Seattle with you guessed it a soundtrack of grunge (except for Nirvana). I mean, the soundtrack starts with “Would” by Alice in Chains and ends with “Drown” by the Smashing Pumpkins. In between, you get tracks from Pearl Jam, Sound garden, and Mudhoney. Overall I recommend the album because music is never dated but the film, gosh I can start hating the 90s again because of it.

But, nothing compared to Jessica Teich's "Trees Make the Best Mobiles." It's been my tried-and-true baby shower gift ever since. Practical, take-a-breath advice that encourages parents to use what is at-hand and not a sea of colored plastic to raise a healthy child. Be sure to follow it up with Richard Louv's "The Last Child in the Woods" around age 3.
