Googling Black Book Arts as Inspiration for My Book Arts Final

So tonight I’m hunkering down in an attempt to come up with an idea for my book arts class final. I’m to use a piece of my own writing; I plan to use my as-yet-to-be submitted-for-publishing piece about hair, “Getting Caught in the Rain.” Then I am to choose either a traditional or non-traditional form …

Book Arts & Bamboo Earrings

Check out my collage for class. The images above are borrowed from the “Carpe Denim” spread (p. 244) in the November 2013 edition of Marie Claire.  I’ve been working all day to learn a Turkish fold so I can create a book for my book arts class. If you’re interested in what that would look like, check …

I Need a Theme Song or Day One of Class

I feel like I need a sound, like the Law & Order sound or the sound at the end of a scene right before commercial in 24…I need my own Cija sound but I’m not sure what that sound would be, but I keep thinking, hmmm, I need something strong! I’m taking my time with this …

Me & my Auntie/Twin hangin @lafoodmarketa after a couple of shots & margaritas. My sis @aqua2529 stopped by to check in on us. Happy Friday y’all ✌🏾 & 💜
Happy B’earth Day to my Pops, Arnaz Harlee Jefferson. He left this earthly plane back in August 2008. This first pic is the two of us; I gotta story to tell about the rest…
Y’all it’s been a week since I returned from @baldwinforthearts & I’m still floating. I’m now a Baldwin Fellow & I’m n such good company.
Y’all! The pool opens tomorrow & I can’t wait. Now please let this weather cooperate, todays perfect for a layout☀️
Y’all! I’m excited to start my residency at @baldwinforthearts today. I don’t know what this week will bring, but I’ve set the intention to be present in the space writing/creating. Beginning tomorrow I’ll be offa here for the week/end. For any deadline driven inquiries shoot me an email ✌🏾& 💜
The fresh scent of rain & the patter of raindrops on leaves, layered w/ birdsong is everything. Sir Oliver agrees.
This that Black Girl Magic folks be talkin about. Recognize the crazy talent up on this porch! I’m so grateful for the beautiful space (givin Hamptons vibes in Baltimore) & for the camaraderie & conversations.
After work I took myself to @localcolorflowers for their Wednesday Flower Happy Hour. This was my first time. They source their flowers from local growers & you’re getting what’s in season. I wasn’t prepared, you can BYOB & snax. Best believe I’ll tuck a bottle of Prosecco under my arm next time😏 But seriously flowers bring me so much joy & my faves were on display today: peonies & tulips. You get to make your own bouquet & can even buy a vase if you want…I bet you can bring your own too. What you see is the little bouquet I made & brought home. This is a small thing that means a lot to me & brings me joy. Big thanks to @gcastle90 for the recommendation💜 #bitsofjoy
