2nd Largest Aquarium Tank In The World

Friday, July 31st, 2009

This video made my day today, that and I was able to get my car inspected. It’s the little things …anyway this video is amazing!. I suggest you watch it full screen.

It was Shot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. The main tank called the “Kuroshio Sea” holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world’s second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

Artist’s statement “THERE IS SUCH INCREDIBLE LIFE IN OUR OCEANS… WE MUST PROTECT THEM!”

Flaming Lips “Borderline” video

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Very excited to see The Flaming Lips perform in Boston. FYI no ticket fees when you order through live nation on Wednesdays.

Update: The concert was great and we had lots of fun. If there was one thing I could change it would be to had better seats. The whole time we were at the very back of the concert. There were balloons, confetti, glitter, etc but none of it was able to reach us. Get seats as close to the stage as you can and you will not regret it.

Owl Pillow

This is what I made for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves owls so I decided to make him a little owl pillow. I used a unique denim fabric that I rescued before it was tossed into the dumpster. Score! It had tones of paint splatters on it and I thought they could give the illusion of the owl’s feathers. Please keep in mind that this was my first real sewing project. I think I will be making more of these guys in different sizes in the future. He is just so darn cute and looks great as an accent pillow on the bed!! You can see more pics of the process here

I really enjoy being able to see the artistic process and end up appreciating it more because you see that it’s done by hand. These days you never know. Anybody can use a program. You can see more of Two Twelve’s work here
