I plan to take better pictures (I took this with the camera on my phone). I plan to change the beak color to red I wasn't focused and made it a creamy brown color...duh.

Before I Die...by Candy Chang
It took Candy Chang one month and seven hours of intense stenciling on this wall for this Before I Die project (with a lot of support from old and new friends). She turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood into a giant chalkboard where residents can write on the wall and remember what is important to them. Before I Die transforms neglected spaces into constructive ones where we can learn the hopes and aspirations of the people around the neighborhood.
Once the wall is filled they wash the board with water and start with a clean slate again. All the responses are being documented and will be included in a book. She says, "I have received many requests from people who’d like to install it in their city, so we’re looking into ways to manufacture an affordable stencil (I made this one by hand. It is a lot of cutting)". We’re also interested in visiting your city and figuring out ways to install it together.
visit her website here to lean more... or if you are in New Orleans, stop by the corner of Marigny and Burgundy (900 Marigny Street) to add your thoughts to the wall.

FOLD
fold cards make me happy! All the cards are designed and fabricated by Miro Chun – with bits of wire, snips of thread, and colorful scraps of paper (all done by hand). They have a number of lines- wire cards, sewn/mobile cards, and a few letterpress/silkscreen and offset printed cards- but the cards that attract the most attention are the wire animals. They are just darn cute!
