A Beautiful Mess

excitement!

hi everyone, i have a bit of *very* exciting news to share! Some of you may already know that Jeremy has been working this year on a new album. He posted one of his brand new songs tonight (it's called "Self Esteem" and it is one of my favorites). You can listen to it here! It's beautiful. He is going to put up songs from the new album randomly, but only for a few days each time.

This is a little painting that I made for him last week. good night! elsie

Salvation Mountain

some photos from our road trip to Salvation Mountain....
my sister, her boyfriend and two of our friends drove three hours together to see this magical place.
i'll tell you a little bit about it.... first you should know that i am not much of a tourist. I almost never get excited about seeing famous places (not because they aren't cool, it's just not my thing) This was so beautiful and worth the trip. It was so silent when we arrived, it was almost creepy (in a beautiful way). It was so much bigger and more detailed than i had imagined....
paint cans... :)and some photos from inside...

(my pal jered)
and (saving the best for last!) pretty sure this is the coolest person i have ever met in my whole life!
Leonard King is the creator of Salvation Mountain. He has spent more than 20 years working on this project. His work is so beautiful and his attitude and story are even more lovely. It was a true honor to meet him and talk about his mountain.

Well, I am off to hang out with Emma for a few more days (and let's be honest...) work on some new things. Emma and I never stop working and we NEVER stop loving it! Have a great weekend, elsiecake

m.i.a.

i've run off for a weekend with my beloved little sister.....  photos and stories coming soon! :) lovelove, elsie

a memory i want to keep.

last night mr. larson stayed up all night writing a new song. he woke me up this morning so i could listen. magic. today has been the most inspired and productive day in months. it's amazing how one person's hard work can challenge everyone around them. it's beautiful, i think.
