#makers project

Tomorrow I take the first step on a dream project.

My heart is gonna burst I am so excited (and my stomach might, too, I am so nervous).

This project has everything I love: unknown challenges, research, art, sustainability, helping people, and community.

Unfortunately this project is also filled with three of my least favorite things:

Phone calls

Asking for help

Asking for money

Tomorrow's phone call might be a make or break moment, but I have never been closer to my dream than right now. Woo!

Helping refugee craftsman utilize their individual skills and learn English related to their trade. | Check out 'Refugee Makers Project' on Indiegogo.

my friend Bryan of Forager Co. is doing good things for some folks that need a little help. Skilled folks that could use a helping hand till they can give back themselves. Bryan has been generous and with me in the past and so I'd like to share his campaign . I even proudly wear one of his handmade vests.

The Brooklyn Makers

ブルックリンのデザイナーやアーティスト、アルチザンを取りあげる Jennifer CouseyさんのブログThe Makers Projectの本。 届くのを首を長くして待ってたよ。やっと届いた。 ブルックリンの”今”のクリエイティビティに満ちた空気が詰まっていて ページをめくる度、5月に訪ねたときの事を思い出して深い溜め息が出る。 ブルックリンには数年のうちにまた行こうと考えている。 その時には、この本を片手にメイカーズに会いに行こう。 ::::::::: This is a book of The Makers Project by Jennifer Cousey who is a photographer. I was looking forward to getting it. There is creative atmosphere in Brooklyn and the book, Jeniffer expresses it as 'creative renaissance in Brooklyn'. I also felt it when I visited to Brooklyn in Mar. As I turned pages, I remembered that atmosphere and I breathed a sigh of dear. I wish I go to Brooklyn again within a few years. I'll take the book to there and I wanna meet to the Makers.
