As I look out the window of my office this morning, I can see the tomato vines that were planted from seeds by my son and husband. Walker built planter boxes using some leftover shelves from my office cabinets and together, he and Bryton planted tomato seeds and sunflower seeds in them. A few months later, we have beautiful flowers, fragrant vines and a harvest of delicious cherry tomatoes. Nothing tastes better than the fruit of your labor. Mmmm!</span></span><span id="goog_930179567"></span><span id="goog_930179568"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 78%;">It is amazing what people leave behind at the beach. From old towels to cigarette butts, the amount of trash left behind is unbelievable. This weekend we did a beach cleanup with <a href="http://www.surfrider.org/">Surfrider</a>. My husband and I have been Surfrider members for a years now and we just signed our 4 year old son up as a member as well. When we moved to San Diego 12 years ago we were so grateful to live near the ocean. The more we learn about the precious ecosystem, the more we try to protect it. Teaching our son about living green and protecting mother earth at an early age is something that we strive to do every day.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 78%;">And we have found that doing good things is contagious. My dear friend <a href="http://www.aaryn.com/">Aaryn</a> recently joined Surfrider and is already very active in the organization. I am hoping that more of my friends here in San Diego will join us!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">This weekend is the Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles. Once again, REDSTAR ink is joining up with <a href="http://www.andrewbking.com/">Andrew B. King</a>, an amazing artist specializing in painting and ceramics. If you attended the LA show last year, you may remember him as the "goldfish guy". Showcasing his collection of vibrant goldfish and snail paintings, Andrew made a name for himself at the Renegade Show in Los Angeles last summer. <span class="Apple-style-span">This year, he has created a stunning collection of ceramics that is the perfect compliment to my <a href="http://redstarink.bigcartel.com/category/native-summer-collection">Native Summer Collection</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">My heart was saddened when I heard about the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan last week. I love Japan for many reasons. The culture. The people. It is where my husband proposed to me. It is home to my brother-in-law and his family. It is peaceful and beautiful and fascinating. I have so many wonderful memories from the times I have visited. With the threat of nuclear disaster and the images of the devastated landscape, I pray that Japan will recover quickly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">Since graduating from college and moving from Arizona to Southern California, I haven't been an active part of the art community. Sure, I work along side graphic designers every day and a network of artists from </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/redstarink" style="font-family: verdana;">Etsy</a></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">, but I haven't exhibited in years. This changed last fall I found a website called </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://arthousecoop.com/" style="font-family: verdana;">Art House Co-op</a></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">, which "creates massive, international art projects that tie thousands of artists together – and anyone can </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://arthousecoop.com/projects" style="font-family: verdana;">participate</a>."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;"><br />I signed up for the Sketchbook Project. They sent me a blank moleskin notebook and two rules to follow: "first, the book must be used in some way - no sending us back an empty book or a completely different book! Second, the sketchbook must stay within its original dimensions (because we don't want to have to provide an extra suitcase just for your book while we're touring the country)."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 85%;">Each book was given a barcode and cataloged into the Brooklyn Art Library system. It's really cool because as every time somebody views my sketchbook, I get an email letting me know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Assigned with the topic of mysterious maps, my sketchbook was based on my travels to Japan. Instead of "sketching", I created layers with photographs, scans and patterns using recycled paper and transparencies. The cover resembles the Japanese flag with a circular window revealing a map of Tokyo printed on transparency, backed with a classic red Japanese pattern.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 78%;">We all know that a hand written envelope is more personal than one with a typed out label. But who has time for that when you have a stack of 50 envelopes to address?</span><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 78%;">One solution is to use a handwritten font and print the mailing address directly on your envelopes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 78%;">There are several websites that can generate a font from your very own handwriting. I chose <a href="http://www.handfont.com/main.php">www.handfont.com</a> to create mine...and it cost less than $10!</span><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 78%;">With four easy steps, a scanned sample of your handwriting is turned into a true type font that you can use in any application.</span></div>

(I created a document in InDesign and exported the multi-page document to a pdf file.) You can even add hand drawn elements to personalize it even more.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In September I attended the Surfrider Foundation's fifth annual Celebrity Expression Session. Hosted by the beautiful Christina Applegate, the event took place at Surfrider Beach in Malibu. As a </span></span><a href="http://www.surfrider.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Surfrider</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> member myself, I was stoked when my husband told me that the company he works for, </span></span><a href="http://www.calibamboo.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Cali Bamboo</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">, was was a sponsoring the event with </span></span><a href="http://www.barefootwine.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Barefoot Wine</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">. For every wave each celebrity caught, both sponsors donated $100. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The celebrities this year were Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Sam Trammell, Martyn Lenoble, Austin Nichols, Eric Balfour, Eric Avery, and Brian Geraghty. An amazing lineup, to say the least.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">So they ended up raising $29,600 for Surfrider, which is amazing. But I have to admit, the most amazing part for me was standing a few feet from Flea and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as they waxed their boards and suited up.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">There is a common thread with most of my products...COLOR.
