3 Comments Published by Gail May 9th, 2008 in Art, Volunteering/CharityMy tote bag with a design by Keet Leibowitz* (aka Relentlesstoil) arrived yesterday, much to my delight. It’s part of a campaign to fundraise for the March of Dimes.

BEST PRESENT EVER!
1 Comment Published by Gail January 31st, 2008 in Acts of Kindness, Art, Aviation, gailatlarge(I ruined my own surprise today, by accident. More on this in a bit.)
Thank you, Siobhan! I’m sorry Canada Post took so long to deliver it, but it is no less appreciated and it’s still a happy surprise!

0 Comments Published by Gail October 16th, 2007 in Art, Photography, VancouverThis email languished in my inbox for nearly two weeks, and I hadn’t given it a second look until today:

I was tidying up my attic flat when I came across this. I really need to frame it before it gets lost (again) in the paper abyss that is my spare room.
I’d like to think of this as the House of Fielding, when there were three of us.

2 Comments Published by Gail March 31st, 2007 in Art, Consumer, Out + AboutGot milk? For Francesca: Excalibur the Moose in residence at the Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place. (I seem to recall Francesca having a thing for the moose.)
My friend’s mum has a booth at the One of a Kind Show, and she got me in on a staff pass. Check out Valerie Page’s handiwork on her [...]
Wishing to avoid the same fate as the Thanksgiving Turkey, the paper crane spotted the stove edge and took flight…
A gold paper crane arrived today in my letterbox, courtesy of Liz Shuman, otherwise known as eshu on Flickr. It’s part of The Paper Crane Project, the likes of which is highly ambitious (1,000 paper cranes!) [...]
Everyone at work thinks I have kids, because I have kids’ drawings all around my desk and photos of my nieces and nephews — the older Ms’ school photos, a Christmas photo of all five, and a calendar of their artwork by month. People who come by comment on their lovely pieces of art and, [...]
David started off at Penn State in 1985 in engineering, and at some point found his calling to the field of graphic arts.

Madames et Monsieurs! *cue music*
If you are in the mid-Atlantic region, don’t miss the photographic exhibit and sale in Ambler, Pennsylvania by the hyper-talented Laura Kicey, also known as helveticaneue on Flickr. She is far too modest for her own good — but then again, her art speaks for itself.
I was dropping off cards at 401 Richmond today and decided to spend a bit more time there, perusing the gallery exhibits as part of the Toronto International AIDS Conference. Today was the final day of the conference, so this was my last chance.
My favourite exhibit was in the Red Head Gallery:
Beyond HIV: An Exhibition [...]
