Alright nerds(not excluding myself), this is the best thing to ever happen to us:

Yeah, that’s all hand-stitched. Take that, haters.

That piece above is part of an art show happening right now, until the end of August 2009 called Stitch Wars.

As a kid, I was obsessed with glitter. My mom gave me a glitter glue set, and let me tell you what, my dolls and just about everything else in my room (including the carpet) had a little more glam by the end of the day. Now, as an older version of that little girl, I’ve expanded my creative energy into the wonderful world of fashion. You see, I’ve always had and still have a passion for “pretty” things… let me explain.

When I say pretty, I’m really speaking of beauty (a close cousin… or maybe its twin that was separated at birth? We may never know… back to the point).  Beauty encompasses a great deal to me, including all forms of expression and communication, whether that be a great story that inspires a kid to dream and imagine, a cleverly written song that tickles your ears, a t-shirt that makes someone smile, a dance that causes an astonished curse word to escape your lips, or picture that tilts your head with a thoughtful “hmm”. And I might be speaking only for myself, but this is beauty to me. It’s anything and everything that helps me appreciate this life of mine and the lives of others. It’s the thing that leads you to embrace the quirky, unique creature that you are and makes the best of the world in which we eccentric individuals interact.

So if you’re a fan of beauty, then I’m a fan yours.

Comrades, a revolution in gaming is upon us! Now is the time to show your support.
