Altered Space Gallery, Venice, Ca Altered Space Gallery had the most varied, eclectic and solid exhibits going on of all the galleries we visited along Abbot Kinney Blvd. It is a large space and they featured very creative jewelry, sculpture, cool cards, etc. - as well as artworks. Nice people working there and a nice feel to the place. Keba Konte Our first fantastic fave was (surprise!, a home boy from Oakland) - Keba Konte. He had a stunning display of photo emulsions transfered onto old, yellowed plywood and found boards. These were softly shadowed with velvet blackest-blacks, vintage-feeling and beautiful. Loved the way the lightest parts of the photos just bled into the wood grains.

Fun and odd segments of water pipes and faucets, vintage meters and glistening glass pendants forming the water drips. Many of them would light up, she has a number of large interesting industrial light sculptures - "Liquid Light" on her website. Tanya Clarke Tanya Clarke The final artist we loved was Michele Mikesell, whose works were concentrated in the rear area. Some creepy, some sullen, some pretty - all were fun little characters with loose and fleshy strokes and one intense "stink eye" looking at you. Delightful.

This is a photo heavy post, so get comfy if you have the time. Although I cannot tell you all the details on how I made this worn journal cover, I can show and tell the extra bits which I did to add to my project that are not in Tim's book on Page 35! Go to Linda's blog to see more ideas by the Curiosity Crew for inspiration. I started with a brand new Cover. Covered it with Gel medium Then adhered a sheet of gift wrap tissue paper which I had scrunched up. When the front was dry, I glued the inside and wrapped the paper round the cover. Now I had a textured cover, inside and out! I started on the front cover with distress paint and water which takes an age to dry, but I prefer it to air dry than help it with a heat gun as it seems to dry more interesting when left to its own devices! You can see how much paler it dries below! Once this was dry, I had run out of patience so I did the inside with a thin layer of paint and blended it with a baby wipe. This showed up the wrinkles nicely. Once this was dry (which was quick!) I lightly smeared some bronze paint dabber onto the raised areas of tissue paper around the edge of the cover, inside and out. Then I set about making the decorations for the cover and shopped my stash for trinkets. I added distress embossing powder to the clock die to make it look rusted. Here you can see how I plotted my layout before adding my stencils. I discovered a great thing about this stencil, if you stencil it straight first, you can angle it the second time and get a full second clock at the top! as per below! This is the finished base for the front of my cover. The inside looked like this before I added the cut off piece of clock die. I used a brad though my ribbon, the buckle and the clock die to anchor it all in place. This is how it looks from the top The clock face from the remnant rub fitted perfectly inside this Spellbinders cog die. For extra texture I added some flat backed pearls. The safety pin on the spine acts as an anchor for the excess ribbon once it is buckled up. The Antique bronze distress paint that I added to the metal cogs and word strip look almost gold in these photos, but they are quite copper in real life! I added the off cut from the front clock to the inside cover of the back page. This is the buckle closed, as if the cover was full inside. I am still working on the contents! Tim's buckle is such a clever piece of idea-ology. Functional and good looking! So this is my cover, inside and out.

If discovering your favourite new band via a 'Best Of' feels a curious premise, then 'Bismillah' does more than hint towards the promise of Peter Cat Recording Co's future. Blending gypsy jazz, psychedelic cabaret, space disco, bossa supernova, Bollywood and uneasy listening with kaleidoscopic ease, in many senses, the band's knack hasn't altered. Always different, paradoxical, unpredictable yet somehow familiar. The new album opens to the strains of bird chatter, the whisper of a city's soundscape and the first few notes from an instrument which seem to be calling us to the departure lounge, a fore-shadow of the flight 'Bismillah' launches it's listener on. Suryakant sings with the detached, rueful elegance of Sinatra marooned on a desert island, whilst his band create small space-time capsules which navigate their way through genres and eras - including the future - and between nostalgia and eccentricity. A cat might have nine lives, but on 'Bismillah' and beyond, Peter Cat Recording Co. Are hinting towards an un- knowable multitude of dimensions. Throw them all together, and it equates less to a listening experience and more to an out-of-body experience.

Chilean artist Jose Romussi adds embroidery to paper photographs to extracts a third dimension, and thus a nascent personality, out of an otherwise flat image. By doing so, Romussi opens space for alternative interpretations and methods of viewing a staged image. The artist refers to his work as an "intervention," and in many ways, his intentions are similar to other contemporary artists who use yarn as a method of interrupting the norm. Like "Yarn Bombing," which is often performed as a softer act of graffiti in public places, Romussi's compositions attempt to re-define notions of beauty while simultaneously drawing attention to social issues, such as the re-appropriation of African patterns and other non-Western traditions in high fashion.
"Polke would make use of other people’s drawings or would reference amateur works. Also, his take on popular culture was not always about things that were recognisable."
