Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
My name is Brooke and apriltwoeightyquilts is my brand - april two eighty is my birthday! I grew up on the east coast in Maine, but moved across the country alone in 2014. I started in Los Angeles and did a quilting internship, and then moved off to a tiny town in northern AZ. I'm now in Tucson, further south, in the desert which I feel very akin to. I've spent a lot of my free time in Joshua Tree.
I started quilting around age 10, taught by my mother, who was always making clothes and quilts. I started selling on Etsy sometime around 2008.
I've since spent a lot of time building my business and coming into my style, learning how to dye my own fabrics, and have branched out to my own website and shop - http://www.
In my free time I like to do things like hiking, thrifting, reading, and taking naps! For all of the exploring and adventuring I do, I am also very much a homebody.
Can you recall the moment you realized you had a passion for quilting?
I have been quilting for a long time, but it was once I started traveling and seeing other landscapes that I really started to transform my work. I can't imagine doing anything else! I have always been a writer/blogger/photographer, and quilting really started going hand in hand with that once I realized I had stories that I wanted to tell in a more tactile way. The last few years have really found me very connected to my work, both from a business perspective and also emotionally.
How do you manage working a full time job and running a creative business?
I am very lucky that for the past few years my dayjob work schedule has been 6am-2:30pm, Monday thru Friday. This gives me time in the evenings and weekends to run my business. It's like working two full time jobs. I dedicate as much time as I can to my business, often forsaking socializing so that I can get the work done. It takes a lot of focus and planning. I always have a list in the notes on my phone of what needs to get finished and when, to meet my personal deadlines - often this is detailed down to the week or day. My studio space is in my home, I don't have a living room so that I can have the space to work. It makes it easier to just come home, or wake up, and get to working on projects!
Any tips for people looking to take their creative outlet to the next level?
It takes a lot of patience with yourself, knowing that things may not always go smoothly or right. But stick with it! Do your research on pricing and ask for what you're worth! (That has been the hardest part for me, since quilting and fabric dyeing are very time consuming.) Be focused and as dilligent as possible. Have a good social media presence (I post every day), and share as much as you're willing and able. Pay attention to how you are presenting yourself and be as true to yourself and your art/skill as you can be - people will connect with that! Engage in conversations online that help people understand what you do. Do some local markets whenever possible to have face to face time with the patrons in your area! I've met some other amazing local artists and entrepreneurs this way, which is so helpful in learning how to put yourself out there, and the support from other makers is priceless in being part of your community. And most importantly, for me, make things that you enjoy. I love my creative process and I find that it shows exponentially in my work.
Where do you find yourself drawing the most inspiration?
I draw my inspiration from my surroundings. My brand subtitle is Explore Create Connect, and that is what I feel really encompasses my craft - I travel when I can or visit places nearby to take in the beauty: colors, shapes, landscapes, people, moments and experiences - then I create a piece to honor them - and then I tell the story in a way that is approachable for my audience.
The desert has no shortage of inspiration for me. There is so much color here in nature (though I know folks who haven't experienced it may not think so). The sunsets are endless. The long dusty dirt road drives have shown me some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.
Over the years I've told many of my personal stories this way, good and bad. This could be as simple as a beautiful sunset I saw, or as difficult as a fight with a partner. Inspiration doesn't have to come from just the pretty stuff. Sometimes I've needed a way to tell a really tough story without words. In doing so, though, I have turned something painful or hard into a beautiful quilt that will be able to be used forever. And the pretty stuff, well it just gets prettier.
You currently live in Tucson, AZ, which isn't the easiest place to live come summer. How do you feel environment informs your work? How do you cope with intense summers?
Summers here are hot. We average between 105-110° every day. Last summer I remember a week where it was closer to 120°. When we are lucky we get some amazing monsoon rainstorms that just open the sky up and dump rain on us. But summers here make it a little unpleasant to be outside between 11am-5pm. Air conditioning is a must.. It's harsh heat.
I find that for me, this is the perfect time to stay inside and work instead of feeling guilty for not being outside. I save up my outdoor hiking and adventure time for the less hot months the rest of the year. The desert has really tried to teach me to slow down and rest in the summer, which I resisted adamantly when I first got here. It's much more balanced now, and I know that I can pump out work year-round (I release collections every few months or so), but in the summer I've given myself the OK to chill when I need or want to. Sometimes it's just too dang hot to do anything.
Describe the ideal studio day:
On weekends, I usually get up early to get started. I have a little breakfast and put on some Netflix in the background. These are the days that I stay in my pj's and put in at least six hours of sewing/quilting work when I'm working on a collection. On an ideal day I get a ton of work done and reward myself with a nap, and then get up to keep working.
During the week, after I get home from my dayjob, is usually when I focus on dyeing fabrics. It's a little less structured, a little easier on my brain and body after already working 8 hours. It's fun and kind of messy and the results come a lot faster.
I keep my studio space very tidy so that I can just jump into it and be ready. And since I already have an outline of what to work on, it's much easier to get to work (though there are days I stray from my to-do list if I'm feeling particularly inspired by something new).
What's been your biggest success so far as a creative?
Being able to open my own stand-alone online shop and have it flourish has been very important to me. There's no parent platform (ie: Etsy) to draw folks to my work.
I was published in DESERT magazine last year, which was so awesome! Doing the amazing Cultivate Tucson markets (they are held twice a year here) has been incredible as well. To be recognized in print and also have folks recognize me locally from social media and buy my work has been humbling.
I take my successes day by day. Each quilt or pillow cover or dyed bandana/fabric that leaves my studio to go off to a new home is a success. Each conversation I have with someone via Instagram is a success. Being able to put my work out into the world is a success. Every project I finish is a big success to me and gets commemorated with a special photoshoot.
Is there any artists that inspire you?
I'm inspired by so many artists! My instagram friends feed is full of them, everyday. There are some long-time social media friends who are also quilters that have been inspiring me for years. Tucson is full of amazing artists of all kinds. My landlady at my previous place in Tucson is an amazing painter and conceptual artist whom I've had many great talks with (most of them while doing laundry) about art and business and travel and life. I'm finding new artists every day who touch me in some way with what they are doing.
My celebrity artist crush is Hayley Williams of the band Paramore. I've been following them from the beginning. The way she is so honest in her style and her writing/music is a never-ending source of inspo. She also runs her own hair dye business and as a female entrepreneur it's important to me to see her succeed. She's not a quilter, but I admire her drive and willingness to be open about the hard stuff as well as the success. Plus the music is fun to work/drive to!
If you could leave a mark on this world, what would it be?
I just want to make quilted pieces that folks enjoy. That they want to use in their homes and find comfort in. I want to show others that it's ok to tell your stories, even in a very time-consuming way - instant gratification isn't everything - and that doing what you love is the most important thing you can do. I would rather take months to make a quilted piece that is meaningful, than just whip up something quick for a buck. Quilting is a very historical and old craft, and I want to do my part to continue in that tradition for as long as I can.
Hey Peyton! Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hi! I'm Peyton. I am a ceramic artist, a yogi, & a traveler. I'm currently living and working in Philadelphia where I have my studio set up, and I bartend for extra cash.
Do you remember the first thing you made out of clay?
I took my first ceramics class Freshman year in high school. Freshman weren't allowed in ceramics because they needed an Art I pre-requisite. My older sister talked to the ceramics instructor though and got me in since she was also taking the class. I think the first thing I ever made was a tile the whole class had to make for the art room wall, probably followed by a super lumpy pinch pot, haha. I didn't love the class at first because it was a lot of hand building…it took a little while before we got to try the wheel. That's when I got hooked.
What about ceramics do you love most?
I've sort of always been "artistic", but when I started working with clay, I felt like I finally found a medium I could stick with and become good at. I love that the products are tactile and functional. Clay can also be very frustrating and unpredictable, so it teaches me patience and non-attachment.
I find clay very therapeutic to work with though. Working on the wheel is particularly meditative to me. In order to be steady and centered while throwing I have to be centered and grounded in my body, so the two sort of go hand in hand. Yoga helps me a lot with the whole process.
I also love the element of surprise clay delivers. There are lots of steps leading up to the final product, and so many variables that are constantly changing, particularly with glazing. I usually find my favorite glaze combos on accident. Opening up the glaze kiln is always so exciting but also nerve racking. Before that final moment, I've learned that you can't get too attached to anything.
How would you describe your style?
A vibrant & experimental take on classic shapes.
What about life gets you the most excited to create? Where do you pull inspiration from?
I've been finding a lot of inspiration from my travels recently. I have been super lucky over the past few years with travel opportunities. I've been to Costa Rica, Morocco, Barcelona, Australia, & Puerto Rico. I love using color palettes inspired by the diverse nature I've seen, like sunsets and desert or jungle flora.
One of my favorite places recently was Morocco. I was totally mesmerized by the colors and shapes of the architecture. A ton of the buildings were this muted peach tone that looked like it had been painted over a hundred times and was chipping away. And then the next building would be bright green and blue and orange. The contrast was so good. I'm hoping to do a photo series with some parallel color palette / glaze & shape schemes soon.
My old work inspires my new work a lot too. Basically, if I try out a shape and like it, I experiment more and see where else I can take it. If I try something and I'm not super into it, I move on.
Besides ceramics, how else do you release your energy?
I practice yoga a lot which always helps with my creative process. Also throwing is pretty hard on your back and wrists so it helps physically too. I also love riding my bike with my dog!! He's the best.
Between running a creative business, working part time, and having a social life, you seem to be the master of juggling one million different things. Any tips for the rest of us?
Unfortunately, my social life usually falls to the bottom of my list most days if I'm actually going to be productive haha, but I'm kinda a crazy list person. Sometimes its helpful and a lot of the times I just end up with too many lists that are half scribbled out. A lot of coffee helps.
I tend to sign up for way more than I can handle, because I want to do it all, but I'm working on honoring my time and making space for myself to breathe. I recently quit one of my jobs and feel SO much lighter now. I recommend quitting your shitty job if you have one and trying a little harder to find something you like! It's definitely intimidating, but if you don't go for it you'll probably always be bummed that you didn't try.
You're setting up shop in Philadelphia. Where else have you lived, and what brought you back to Philly?
I have been all over!! Since I graduated from Temple in 2015, I've lived in New Jersey, Austin, and Brooklyn with a lot of traveling in between. I never expected to be back in Philly so soon, but found an amazing space to set up shop at a price I could actually afford. I kinda just dropped everything in Brooklyn and decided to go for it. I miss my friends/life in NYC a lot, and my friends who are all over the country/world now! But we visit and make time for each other when we can & they are super supportive which makes it a lot easier.
How's your new studio treating you?
I've always wanted a live-work space to set up my studio so its pretty amazing to be living that dream!! It's so nice to have everything I need right in my home. I've been a student/member at a bunch of other studios (Tyler School of Art, Kissimmee River Pottery, Laguna Gloria, BKLYN Clay, The Clay Studio etc.) for about 11 years. It's nice that I have those past experiences to pull from and really set things up in a customized way for my work. So far so good—there is still a lot of work to do around the studio, but its getting better every day! And the support and interest in what I'm doing has been super exciting. I've already gotten some opportunities to work with really talented people, so I'm hoping to keep the momentum up!
3 things you couldn't live with out?
smoothies, yoga, my friends/boyfriend/Rez
Are you a music blasting or podcast kinda person when in the studio?
Both! I am habitually a music blaster, but getting more into podcasts. I think podcasts help me concentrate and music helps me get in the creative zone.
Describe your ideal day:
Wake up and have a coffee & almond croissant, go to yoga, play with some clay, hang with my girls & have a BBQ with my boy for dinner :)
As first time chicken owners, we were excited when it came time to build our coop & run. We put in time researching life with chickens in the desert, and used other's tips for informing our build. We decided to build a roofed coop & run that was buried 1' in the ground.
We have five chickens, each named by a different member of our family. Dottie, Bug, Turbo, Petey & Dixie. Each with her own personality. Our girls free range for a few hours each day, as we both work from home and can keep an eye on them.
Due to lack of shade, we built a roof over the entire run & coop, and raised the coop off of the ground. This provided a 3 wall shade area for the girls to take cover during one of our notoriously windy days out here in the Mojave Desert. We really considered the position of the coop and run. After marking out the shade throughout the day, we were able to build the run so that there is some shade in there at any point of the day.
Because we live at the base of a protected desert mountain that is part of the Joshua Tree National Park, we are right in the heart of predator country. Mountain Lions, Coyotes, Snakes + Hawks are plentiful and hungry. This was at the forefront of our minds when we set out to build our coop.
Thanks to Instagram, we were able to salvage free materials from a motel renovation in Joshua Tree. We had to buy some new lumber, but luckily the only grocery store in town offers a $5 coupon for our local hardware store on the back of each grocery receipt. By making multiple trips over a few days, we were able to save over $30 in materials, which equals out to a few free 2x4's! We purchased hardware cloth online, as no feed supply or hardware store within 45 minutes had 1/2" hardware cloth. We felt it was important to get a tighter hardware cloth to protect against snakes.
All in all it cost about $200 to build the coop, and took roughly 2 full days to build. Although we spread the build out over a few half days.
This video takes place over a few days, and we did miss a few key aspects of the build. One of them being the burying of hardware cloth blanketed out through the trench. From our research, we decided to blanket out the hardware cloth to deter digging coyotes. If they hit 1 foot of hardware cloth, 1 foot down, they probably will give up attempting to dig under our coop wall (that is also buried in the ground.)
The other key part was Justin digging the trench with his dirtbike, ha! Our ground is so rocky and dense, that shovels just weren't cutting it for us. We have a video of that on our Instagram Highlights, just click the Chicken one to see!
Our coop has two doors. A smaller one for them to have access during the day. One larger one to help us get in there when it comes time to clean it out and access the nesting boxes. We open both doors after the sun lets up to help ventilate the coop before the girls go to bed.
The finishing touches on the coop & run were a nice painted ladder for the girls, some outdoor roost bars, and a paint job using left over paint from other projects.
Around dinner time, we usually hang with the chickens in the yard. Dottie will jump right up on your lap, and loves getting pet. Dixie wouldn't even think about coming near you, unless to peck at your toes. We've really enjoyed raising our hens from day old chicks, and we really can't wait until they start laying eggs!
We are new chicken owners, not experts. We know there is plenty to learn that comes with time and experience. However, we wanted to share the video of our build to share a peek into our life as we take steps towards a more sustainable, homesteading lifestyle!
We had a blast building it together. If you have respectful advice or tips, we welcome them!
Jayna + Justin]]>
Hi Elizabeth! Can I start off by saying that we adore the pillows you custom made for the Junkyard Co. Shop! We watch the sun set over the mountains every evening, and I can't help but associate that rosy glow with your beautiful pillows. What inspired the pillows?
I was extremely inspired by your location-- I've never been there but that sunset is killer. I immediately knew I should use natural dyes (avocado pits) to get the colors right. I also like all the desert textures and landscape. There's something raw and mysterious about it that I wanted to convey. It was nice to have to look at pictures of the Mojave desert while experiencing a NYC winter.
You recently graduated from art school in New York! Where has your first year out of art school taken you?
Since graduating, I worked for a few companies part time, and was in two art shows and a zine. After that, I landed a job at an incredible fabric company called Maharam and I am their sample librarian.
Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Any creative benchmarks?
In the next five years I want to see and experience as much as possible. I feel like, when I was in school, although I was learning so much, it was difficult to feel free with my work because I had a part time job and I couldn't take a breath. Being out of school is completely different. College really sucks you in and it was difficult. Now I feel like I'm more present in the world and society. There's a lot that comes with that-- I'm lucky to be surrounded by great design and art in nyc.
You work predominantly in textiles, yet you also incorporate painting and printing into your conceptual works. How does your creative process shift between mediums and materials?
I used to prefer flat drawing, but it's hard for me to enjoy that anymore. There's something rougher and more receptive about using fibers. I actually recently have gained an interest in photography, and photography of my fiber pieces, but this is just a hint at what's to come. I think going through mediums is natural and healthy. I like anything that lives a life as you make it. I want to see things evolve.
You work has this sort of ethereal, dreaminess to it. Can you touch on that for us?
Thank you! I like to make my work as dreamy as possible--mainly because I use all recycled materials from textile companies and vintage fabrics. All the fabrics have a history, so when they come together it can be really interesting to see. For example, a vintage lace next to a faux suede. How weird is that?
When you aren't working or making, what's your favorite way to recharge?
I love to relax and drink tea. I drink multiple cups of tea a day, and I enjoy spending time with my three legged cat, Arya. Sometimes I go through phases where I don't make anything, and I view these periods as times to collect emotional and physical research into what is coming next.
Any artists or makers inspiring you at the moment?
Here's a few: Jude Hill, Hella Jongerius, Nguyen Chi, Ana Kras, Lora Avedian, Kevin Mcnamee Tweed, Tony Gum, Mimi Jung, Caroline David, Kathryn Clark.

Reba blowing glass
How did you become involved in blowing glass?
Oddly, I'm really not quite sure how it all happened. I arrived at Tyler [ School of Art in Philadelphia ] with no clear idea of what I wanted my concentration to be; I've always been attracted to any process I could get my hands on. I did a little shopping around, and at one point I was pretty committed to focusing on wheel throwing in ceramics. Friends of mine, who were already in the glass program, suggested that I try glassblowing because of that interest – the two processes really aren't that similar, but some of the same concepts run through both.
I kind of ended up kicking my own butt as an all-or-nothing character, and applied for permission to take the first two levels in the glass program in one semester – and all of that while continuing my trajectory in the ceramics program, and maintaining a full academic schedule. Regardless of all of that, I completely threw myself into the process, developed a small obsession, and y'all can guess what happened from there.
What about the process and material drew you to continue working in it? What's your favorite part of the glass blowing process?
I have had conversations with a number of other glassblowers about this; the process kind of forces you to become a better person. Generally, it is intrinsically community oriented, and one in which you must be able to communicate with a number of people in order to get the results you want. The clearer you can do that, and kinder you can be about it, the lovelier more successful the work experience. Usually, you'll start out assisting a good amount, and developing the skill of anticipating need and attentiveness will run parallels in all other veins of your life.
Glassblowing will also brutally improve your ability to deal with loss, especially early on. These "failures" are immediately dissectible, and therefore immediately instructive. I adore this practical analysis and the conversations it prompts.
My parents are both scientists, so growing up I was in an overtly analytical household, which continually holds discussions devising all the ways around varying hypothetical scenarios. So, naturally, the technical side of the material and process became wildly appealing to me. As with anything, the more completely you can understand why things are happening, the more sense that is made, and the more purposefully you can engage with the material.
I had the opportunity to take a neon bending class at Urban Glass in Brooklyn with Mark Naylor, who has his doctorate in Glass Science (swoon), and the sheer volume of data he presented to us was astounding. That increase in knowledge immediately shifted the way I experience and approach glass.
Reba Price Teaching Glass Blowing at East Falls Glassworks
Having access to a glass studio can make it difficult for artists to work in the medium, how do you navigate this in order to make your work?
It is indeed quite challenging to find spaces to work, which makes me pine for the days when I was in school with unlimited access (they all told me that would happen). Immediately after graduation I was a TA for a class at my alma mater, which granted me a small amount of access, while simultaneously exposing me to an incredibly talented glassblower, teacher, and artist, David King. After that, I had a fellowship at Peters Valley School of Craft, which ran a few classes out of the roving Glass Routes truck.
After graduation, I rolled through several different experiences – all which granted me somewhat limited access to a shop and materials. Though, in October of 2016 I found a forever home. I walked into Philly's community hot shop, East Falls Glassworks, and kept showing up until they started inviting me back. Since then, I've been teaching classes there. Usually these are first-timers who know little-to-nothing about the process, and want to walk out with a successful vessel, or the like. This format presents it's own very special kind of challenge and has helped me develop a skill set that I hadn't previously considered. I've also worked with students who are somewhat experienced, and want to improve their technical skills in successive sessions, and I have to say, it is truly fulfilling.
The studio at East Falls Glassworks has given me massive opportunity. When I work there I choose to get paid either monetarily or into a work-for-trade-time account (This helps me to budget a portion of my income that I put toward time in that studio). They are empowering to their employees, and have put together such a welcoming environment and internal community.
Opportunity also abounds for anyone interested in glass, experienced or not. A number of craft schools exist throughout the country, which grant numerous scholarships, both need and merit based – and the applications aren't even torturous! I had an amazing experience at the aforementioned neon bending class due to a scholarship opportunity through them.
You're a member of This Many Boyfriends Club, can you touch on how having a supportive group has impacted your artistic practice?
The birth of This Many Boyfriends Club was catalyzed by the growing necessity to escape a toxic job where we all had worked and bonded. The CEO of this Philadelphia-based ceramic production company has multiple sexual assault and rape allegations against him. Amidst the onset of these, his and the company's subsequent inaction taken, and the exploitative and male dominated work atmosphere he culminated, we all left.
This turbulence pulled us together, and we've been making and growing since. We recently landed in a small studio, and had our first show as a collective in February, are working toward another show in May, and are very excited to have been featured on Etsy for International Womyn's Day (follow our Instagram and Facebook for updates on these and other happenings @thismanyboyfriendsclub).
Being surrounded by these remarkable womyn has been instrumental in my continual attempting to find access and to make. Finding the proper balance between working supplemental jobs and pushing my own studio practice is definitely a challenge for me, and so these cherished womyn that I can rely on to embrace me, and to critique me, have become indispensable.
As part of a community that is more empowered every day, we are consistently seeing an increase in work that comes from voices similar to ours. I can't encourage you enough to research the businesses and artists you choose to support. (Like, really really good job choosing The Junkyard Co.)]]>
We watched the baby chicks and pined over them, but agreed we weren't ready. While our landlord had approved us keeping chickens on the property, we still felt unprepared. Sure, I had spent many nights reading chicken blogs, but that doesn't prepare you for raising them. Really, nothing can fully prepare you for raising anything.
As we stared at the chirping fluffy babies, an employee came over to provide information about the various breeds. They had silkies, although unsexed. And Brahmas, Plymouth Barred Rocks, Golden Sex Links, Copper Marans, Golden Laced Wyandottes, Leghorns, Cornishes, on and on and on. Some were sexed, others were not. She told us these birds wouldn't last long; everyone will come flooding in for these heritage breeds.
And so next thing we knew, we were walking out of Tractor Supply with two armfuls of supplies and a box of 5 baby chicks. One Brahma- Bug, Gold Sex Link- Turbo, Golden Laced Wyandotte- Dixie, Barred Rock- Dot & a Copper Maran- Petey. All future hens, and the latest additions to our family.
That was a month ago, and we are still in the process of building the run and coop. In fact our 1/2 inch welded wire just arrived in the mail, and the project is moving forward.
We put a call out on Instagram story for free building supplies in the high desert, and were able to salvage some 2x4's, wood siding, and pieces of broken slate from a barn like motel in Joshua Tree. I'll dive into our build in another blog post. I want to detail our process for y'all (with plenty of photos of course).
Neither of us had owned chickens before. We took the babies home and stared at them for hours, watching them doze off while in the middle of eating. Their little heads would wilt to the floor, awakening themselves in surprise.
Today, we start assembling and building the chicken run and coop. They are loosing their down, and soft brilliantly colored feather have moved in. Each hen's personality is starting to develop. Dixie is tenacious and curious, Bug and Turbo love to fly across their brooder and cuddle up for pets, Petey takes time to warm up, and Dot is a total sweetie.
baby bug 2 days old and 1 month old
They've seemingly become chickens over night, as you can see from photos. A few mornings we have gone into the spare room only to find Bug wandering around outside of her pen. Yesterday, I was sitting with them as I wrote e-mails, and watched as Dixie flew up onto the wooden bar that her food and water hangs from.
We take them outside so they can become adjusted to the desert environment, and they huddle around us, opening their wings a bit to be pet. Dot found a fuzz, and ran around with it in her mouth as the other 4 chased her and pecked at her for the fuzz.
Just yesterday, I noticed Petey making herself a nest out of the pine shavings. Turbo and Bug followed suit, and all three laid in their nest as if they were sitting atop an egg.
Raising chickens is easy, but just like anything else it requires attention. I know my chickens personalities through daily observation. I handle them, pet them, pick them up and play with them. Chickens are beautiful, funny animals that when shown proper care, will be amazing pets! They copy each other easily, (which is why we need to get this chicken run completed soon before they all start escaping the brooder), and get excited every time I enter the room.
We haven't had a single issue with the chickies yet, but moving them outside is a dangerous endeavor that we have been planning for weeks. We live at the base of a mountain range that is protected National Park land. That means bob cats, coyotes, mountain lions, snakes, and who knows other predators, call our neighborhood home. We are not in the business of hurting natural predators- in fact we realize we are introducing a non-native species to the area, which will warrant constant protection. I'm excited to share our coop + run build with you all once the project is completed, so stay tuned!]]>
You're a conceptual artist working in a very craft dominate field. Do you feel this influences your design decision making differently that someone approaching woodwork from a more craft or technical stand point?
Definitely! So I went to school for sculpture, and I think that the program I was in was super based in theory, and concept, with only some focus on craft. I've always been really into domestic spaces, and often created pieces with a pretty strong connection to furniture during my undergraduate degree program. One of the things that really struck me when I first started getting more seriously into woodworking was the kind of bland marketing I was seeing from a vast majority of woodworkers on Instagram. A lot of their pieces, pages, and overall aesthetic was indistinguishable. It's a field very dominated by kind of hyper masculine guys, and I think that sometimes lends to a strong focus on craft, but less of a focus on beauty and creativity. I first thought to bring in some really interesting branding into my business would set it apart from the rest. Also, being a girl, I wanted the products to be imbued with femininity which has always been important in my artistic aesthetic. I think when I thought up making the Marlboro magazine box I got pretty excited. Because that started to feel like I wasn't just changing branding on the same products everyone else was making, but really delving into my own ideas.
Casey's Workshop
Your branding aesthetic definitely caught my eye! You have a strong feminine voice in your other work as well, so the French Kiss Branding felt totally on point. I've seen some of your work- painting, sculpture, video, and even stylist work. What drew you to wood specifically?
Well my grandad is an amazing woodworker. So I've been watching and admiring him make such beautiful pieces my whole life. As a kid he used to take me to George Nakashima's studio, its actually run by his daughter Mira Nakashima now, I remember thinking it was SO rad when I was a little girl that a woman was continuing on this beautiful tradition. His studio is in New Hope, PA, right near where I grew up and currently live. This question is kind of going to bleed into one of the next ones, haha, but basically when I moved back from Los Angeles, I really wanted to learn a craft and I thought I would just go down to my Pop Pop's house and have him teach me whenever I got the chance. What ended up happening is that I was given a job as an apprentice at this 50 year old cabinet-making shop in my town. They were trying to create a furniture line within their business and me and my coworker Chris were spearheading that. I picked up on the techniques really quickly, and found a lot of joy in the craft. I started building my own workshop, and basically decided to launch my own company in my free time. For me, creating conceptual art is always going to be #1, but the woodworking allow me to be creative with my hands, and create functional pieces that we're still cool and inspiring to me. I'm actually trying to push more toward making some weirder pieces that I think are more attuned to my artistic visual language for my next iteration of work for French Kiss Furniture.
We've never seen anything like the Marlboro Magazine box before, what inspired you to create the piece, aside from.. obviously, Marlboro?
Well, unfortunately I smoke marlboro lights, hahaha so that was definitely part of the inspo, lol. But more so, as I said before what I've seen a whole lot of online among woodworkers, is beautiful slab tables, cutting boards, maybe a bench. I wanted to make something different. I started to think a lot about objects, kitsch, kind of more playful, less serious pieces. I wanted to make something I hadn't seen before, that I thought was you know "cool" and different, haha. It just kind of hit me one night when I was out playing pool, and I looked at my box of cigarettes. I first made a little wooden case for a pack of cigarettes, which I had seen before. And then I thought maybe this doesn't need to be this size. It's definitely related to like pop artists in my mind, just these capitalist icons like a cigarette box hold so much visual weight. And I thought that's something I would want to have. It was definitely the most difficult piece I created, and the most out of my comfort zone as far as craft goes.
Marlboro Magazine Box, available in our shop
You were living in L.A. for a bit, working in an art gallery and with stylists before moving to PA to start woodworking. What was the catalyst for this cross country lifestyle shift?
I think I've basically spent the last three years or so since graduation trying to figure out what it is I can do for money, shocker I know. I moved to Los Angeles because at the time I thought it was very important to be in either New York or Los Angeles if I really wanted to take my career in art seriously. I thought maybe I could be a stylist, maybe work in galleries, I was looking for something that was tangentially related to my field, that would still be fulfilling for me. But I just wasn't getting what I wanted. I was struggling super hard to make ends meet, working a bunch of different jobs, and still not finding the time or the funds to really produce art. I was basically like, okay Casey you're never going to have any success in this field if you can't make the work. In addition I found working as a stylist to be just very vapid, honestly. I mean it was fun to a degree, I got to assist on a bunch of shoots with Migos, who I love, and that was all pretty exciting. But it just wasn't for me and I could really feel that. I decided to move back to my hometown, with the initial intent to apply to grad school in 2018, that didn't happen by the way hahaha, but I'm still learning to balance my art practice with financial endeavors and that's what I've spent the last year focusing on.
In our own business, we don't think we could have grown as much as we have if we still lived in L.A., do you feel similarly about starting and growing your business after making the move back to your hometown?
For sure! So right now I am still working 40 hours a week at the cabinet shop. Starting my own woodworking business on top of that has been quite a feat, honestly, and I've been learning to dial back in certain areas, and you know constantly realigning my priorities etc. L.A. for me was not conducive to a high level of productivity, mostly because income wasn't steady, and I couldn't afford to rent a studio space. Living here has provided me with a respite from high rent, and the hustle of the city social scene to focus on developing a business and being creative way more consistently. Now I am planning a new change that I think is going to be really productive for the business and my own personal creative growth. I'm going to be leaving my job, because doing woodworking 40 hours a week, and then coming home and doing more woodworking is a lot, hahha. Too much sawdust even for me. I'll be starting a part time job, renting a new studio, and be able to focus on making some more experimental furniture pieces.
How does working for a woodworking company influence your personal work?
The job I currently have was invaluable to the business I started. I mean I really learned so much. Just being able to work in a woodshop, with people who have been doing this for twenty plus years is amazing. At my work, everything we do is held to a super high standard and that pushes me a lot. We work to the 32nd of an inch, and so there really isn't a lot of room for error. It has made me way more comfortable on various tools, just given me a language in woodworking that I never would have had before. Another thing that it does sometimes, is leave me frustrated at home. Learning woodworking in a shop with endless tools and access to any supply you ever need has made my shop sometimes feel inadequate, but my problem solving skills come into play, and things usually work out.
As with any craft, practice makes perfect. What's something you have been practicing a lot in the shop lately?
I think for me patience is really key. Looking at things I have made before, and understanding why they don't work is another thing. I try a lot of things that never work out, and that's okay because I learn a lot from them. Lately I am really trying to learn to take the things that I do know, and use those skills to make something I haven't seen before. I'm also super interested in focusing on how I can make affordable but beautiful products. I'm researching using materials that are more affordable for the customer, and how I can make those materials seem super high end and desirable. Just transforming different kinds of wood into something innovative and interesting basically.
What's one of the biggest challenges for you in the shop? One of your favorite parts of working in wood?
I think one of my biggest challenges is definitely patience. I run into a lot of problems, and things always take longer than I expect. I even get really frustrated about clean up, hah, as I'm sure everyone does. I'm not a master woodworker you know, so it becomes a lot of trial and error, asking questions, looking things up, and sometimes I'm doing things there's just not an answer to online. So I think really being patient with myself will be a big attribute for me in the future. My favorite part of working with wood is how malleable it is. That might sound funny to some people, but as I'm sure you know metal is a whole different thing. I took some metal working classes in college, and after that, going back to woodworking felt like butter. I just think its amazing how you can make so many vast shapes out of it, and I love the different kinds of wood. Some of the grain on the pieces I get just blows me away. At my work a lot of the customers just want wood with the least amount of grain, no knots, very uniform. I get to take home a lot of amazing pieces simply because the piece is "too unique" that blows my mind.
It's not always easy to keep creative energies flowing, especially when you are trying to make a living with it. Where do you find inspiration when creativity feels dry?
I think in January after the initial launch of my website in December, and I was prepping for the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market, I felt super burnt out. Like I said I do woodworking for my day job too, so I was like, if I never have to see a piece of wood again I'd be happy. So after the flea market I decided to kind of take a little breather on it. I was still working on some commissioned things, cutting boards, some frames, and they didn't require a whole lot of creative energy, just getting into the shop. What's helpful for me is to oscillate back and forth between different creative worlds. So I spent most of February working on a painting and applying to some art residencies. Being back in that mental space of making conceptual art really allowed my creativity toward making functional pieces to recharge. It's like, oh my god, I forgot that I actually really like making furniture and thinking about weird new ways to look at that process. So taking breaks is key for me, and I also think once my day job is not in a wood shop, I'll find it even easier.
Any new projects in the works?
Yeah! So now that I took that little breather, and am feeling reinvigorated I have a whole new set of ideas for pieces I want to work on this spring and summer. I did a bunch of sketches, and I'm feeling really excited about them all. I think the first iteration of pieces I made was for the most part, just building confidence in my own skill set, and seeing what I was capable of. The marlboro box started to step out of that and I really enjoyed where that was headed. As I mentioned before I want to look into how I can make things that are affordable, and accessible to a broader range of people, but still keeping the level of craft way up. I want to develop my own visual language with woodworking, and also use some new a different materials. I'm hoping to incorporate lucite, some more upholstery (which I did for the first time on the bench I have in my shop and really loved), and maybe even some lighting elements into new pieces. Right now I'm preparing a move to Philadelphia, and once I'm there I get to start work on all these new ideas I've got, and I can't wait! <3]]>
We wanted to share a bit of glass terminology before we dive into our next Artist Feature, as some of the terms are craft specific. A Hot Shop is the studio space that glass artist work in when blowing glass. Using a steel pipe, glass blowers gather glass from a furnace kept at temps of roughly 2300 degrees. The glass must constantly be kept on center, just like in throwing ceramics, so that the glass stays symmetrical. This is done by constantly turning the steel pipe.
Glass blowing takes at least two people: the Gaffer is the person creating the glass art, and his or her Blow Partner, who assists the Gaffer in his making process. Using various tools, the Gaffer will shape the glass while his or her partner blows through the other end of the pipe. The glass must be constantly reheated in the Glory Hole to maintain temperature so it does not break. Once completed, the glass is placed in an Annealing Oven at 960 degrees that slowly drops to room temperature over a day.
From there, glass artists may take their pieces into a Cold Shop where they will use various abrasive tools to carve, shape and polish their pieces.
Olive Oil Dispenser, Leckie Gassman
Leckie Gassman is a multi-media artist living in Asheville, NC. He studied glass in his undergraduate career, and now works as a glass blower in addition to making his own glass art. Not only are his forms and craftsmanship of the highest quality, but his color choices are fun and playful! We are stoked to have him in the shop, and were able to catch up with Leckie in between his glass blowing sessions to learn more about his creative process. Read on"
Your work resides in many facets: sculptural, abstract, figurative and functional. Sometimes even all at once. Can you dive into your creative process a bit for us?
It's hard to say that the creative process ever starts or ends. I have a hard time sitting still; I am always working on something, and it seems that each facet informs another. Through painting and working in the flat I have begun to address the surface of the glass forms that I have been studying. Working full-time in a production glass studio can be exhausting, so when I get home its nice to dive into something completely different.
You've been making art for years, but when did you start to realize that you loved working with glass as a creative medium?
I went to college for pottery and while I was there I began working with glass as well as the wooden lathe. I became infatuated with the similarity between these processes. Glass began to steal my attention because of the atmosphere in the studio, the fragility of the material itself, and the technical challenges of controlling it. Unlike ceramic, when the piece was finished and put into the oven it was done.
Was there anyone you met or worked with during your formative glass years that truly inspired you?
Angus Powers, and Dan Mirer both showed me the capabilities of glass and helped me to establish a strong technical foundation to grow off of as an artist.
Things in the hot shop can get pretty crazy at times. Torches blasting, furnace doors opening, people rushing to and fro. How do you keep your cool when working with molten glass?
Haha it can be tricky, especially when working production with a few others dancing around each other with hot glass. Drinking plenty of water is key, but after a few years it becomes a normal. When I am the one making the piece nothing else matters, and everything else fades away.
What is one of the wildest pieces you have ever worked on?
Definitely while I was in school. Some fellow students and I worked together to make a replica of a super soaker with blown glass. There is a small photo of it is on my instagram.
You graduated from Alfred University in upstate New York before moving to Asheville. What drew you to that North Carolina mountain town?
I moved here to to start working at the glass studio I currently work at, Lexington Glassworks. I actually had no idea what this place is, and I gotta say i really lucked out, its great.
You work as a glass blower in addition to making your own wares to sell. How does your experience in the hot shop differ from when you are working for someone else, and when you are in the shop for your own creation?
As I said earlier, when I'm the one making, especially when its my designs, nothing else matters and time flies by. The latter can go a bit slower depending on what we are making. Regardless I can easily get into the zone when I am looking at glass move.
Well recently I have been carving a lot of my work and the trickiest part about this is knowing when to stop and call it finished. Otherwise it might get overdone and look horrible.Your work is pretty technical, both in your use of color, form and execution of craft. It's impressive, to say the least. Knowing how extensive some of these processes can be and the risk of the glass I have to ask: what's the most challenging part of seeing a piece through completion?
Oh yeah, I've noticed that some of your blown glass work has a lot of carving work as well. The cold shop is avoided by some glass artists, maybe due to the lack of fire, ha. What inspires you to carve your pieces in the cold shop?
Well to start, its almost always available to me because I can work there at any time. Most hot shops shut down at night, and when it's time to make your own work there is a set time period where everything has to happen. I look at the coldshop very similar to painting in that I can start something and put it down. There is patience involved, and through this I am able to take a blown piece even further from its original existence. Treating the surface has become a remedy for an ongoing conflict I have towards my love for making functional forms. It seems that the better you make an object, for example a bowl, the less likely the owner is willing to use it. So by taking the surface to a new level I like to think it begins to share the respect and acceptance similar to paintings. I am ok that these forms never be used.
Do you have any pre or post hot shop rituals?
Usually a beer when we finish a long day.
Haha, sounds nice! Any new projects in the works?
Yeah, a group of friends and myself are organizing a show in LA this March 31st. The group is called DemoBlank and they are taking houses that are up for demolition and turning them into galleries for emerging artists. This first show will host some very talented artist that I went to school with. There will be a large variety of work and our buddy Dr doppler will be the DJ for the event which is very exciting. My plan is to set up an installation featuring some of my carved glass form but in a sort of system that relies on time to determine if they break or not; balloons will be involved.
Live in LA? Keep you're eyes peeled for DemoBlank at the end of this month!

We caught up with artist Kait O'Connell of Fringe + Branch to hear a bit more about her process. Jayna + Kait have known each other since middle school, but recently re-connected through a by-mail collaboration, coast to coast. The Junkyard designed + created steel frames for Kait to work her macrame magic on as she pleased! We've done a few runs of this collaborative process, and look forward to more! Check out some of the collab wall hangings here
You're the definition of a girl boss! I've seen your artist portfolio, and not only are you the sole owner and creator at Fringe + Branch, but you also take amazing photos, and work in creative advertising. How do you juggle all of these constant projects?
I'm a Digital Solutions Specialist for a pharma agency Monday-Friday, 9-5. It can sometimes be tough juggling this along with Fringe + Branch! However, at the end of a long day of sitting on my computer, I feel like working with fiber art is a treat after a hard day's work. It never really feels like a chore. I consider working with fringe + branch "me time," because most of the time I'm working with a cup of coffee and something I enjoy watching or listening to on in the background. Work will always be a constant in life, but it's so important to make time to do things that you love, and I truly love creating for fringe + branch to make pieces that others will love.
It can be tough to work creatively every day. Where do you find creative inspiration when the creativity starts to feel dried up?
It's so true that sometimes working creatively on different types of media every day can use up a lot of brain power. Sometimes I come home from work from my 9-5 pharma job and just want to lay down and watch reruns of Seinfeld and not do anything else. When this happens, I usually go on my fringe + branch Instagram account and see how my fellow makers are creating for their own communities, and it reminds me why I do what I do. The maker community is such a motivating force, so this is when I usually experiment with different knots, patterns, and types of fiber. I've learned through the past few years that it's good to give yourself time to work instead of rushing through a project. Each piece deserves an equal amount of effort and love, because someone somewhere will make it part of their home. That in itself is inspiring.
Your keen eye for composition and design is apparent in every medium you work in. Can you touch on your process with this?
Honestly, I don't really have a set process in any medium I work in. I sometimes have designs in my head that I can't wait to see in real life, but a lot of the time I create as I go. This can sometimes lead to chaos, but I like the challenge of thinking (or creating) on my feet and the journey I go through while doing so. This ensures every piece is different and unique. I usually know when a piece is done or if it needs more, and I like working off those feelings.
As someone with a basis in design and advertising, what drew you to working with fibers?
In some way or another I've always loved working with different types of fiber. When I was younger, this interest took the form of making friendship bracelets. Also, my grandmother loved to knit, which I actually just started learning as well. I think what I like about fiber art is the fact that you can create something tangible. You can make something come to life that wasn't there before. As much as I love designing on the computer, I like being able to touch and feel the work I've done and I appreciate the process and intricacies of creation. It's so awesome seeing something go from a concept in my head to existing in real life.
You grew up right outside of and currently live in Philadelphia, but are relocating to Brooklyn soon! What are you looking forward to most with your new move?
I feel like I will always consider Philadelphia as my home, but I am BEYOND excited to be moving to Brooklyn. It's always been a dream of mine to move to New York. Part of me always felt like I belong there and would thrive. The thing I'm most excited about is networking with other creative in the area, as I did in Philly. It's so nice to have a local community around you so you can bounce ideas off each other, support each other's work, and collaborate. I've already spotted local studios in Brooklyn that I'll be able to work and create. It'll be nice to have maker friends at home in Philly and in my new home in Brooklyn. I'm anxious and excited to spread the word about fringe + branch in a huge city like NYC!
I'm also super excited to have an office/studio space of my own. Right now, I work in my bedroom or my living room on the couch. In Brooklyn, I'll have my own space to create fringe + branch pieces peacefully. It makes such a difference when your workspace is set and organized!

We caught up with Lyndsi and Nick of Mean Jean to hear more about their making process! The Duo lives and works in the Echo Park neighborhood of LA, where they handcraft their leather wares. Read on for more info about this LA power couple and the labor of love that goes into Mean Jean:
Mean Jean! We have to ask, where did the name come from? Who is Mean Jean?
Lyndsi: Years ago, a few gal friends and I stumbled onto this box full of antique pins at a vintage shop in Los Angeles. There were names inscribed on each one so we jokingly picked out pins for each other. The gals pulled Jean and it just kind of stuck. The "Mean" part is actually because of my last name though. They all call me Mean Jean McGee. So to answer you question, I am Mean Jean. I didn't make my first bag until a few years after all this but when it came time, I knew exactly what I needed to name the company.
Like us, you're a couple that lives together and works together. It can be tough sometimes to put work aside and let off steam. How do you guys navigate this together?
Nick: Lucky for us, we're into a lot of the same shit but our love for music is something we've always bonded over. Needless to say, there are always a pair concert tickets on the fridge. As far as letting off steam, we definitely make sure to turn off our brains and have a good time on those nights. I'm sure you guys know you have to make a conscious effort. When you own your own business, there's always something that needs to be done but regardless, it's important take a little time for yourself. Even if it's just beers and pinball for a couple hours. We love that too.
We had a studio visit with Nick a few weeks back, and were impressed by the time consuming and thoughtful process y'all employ. Can you touch on what you think sets Mean Jean apart from other leather makers?
Nick: Lyndsi's stamping, 100%! In the beginning, I don't think we did enough to capture all the hard-work that stamping each piece requires but recently, we've been tinkering with videos to shed light on the process. She really put in the hours that it takes to stamp as well as she does and she does so without guides or rulers. Stamping is like music, it's just better when it isn't lined up to a grid. More human. At this point, the tools are an extension of her hands. There's constantly a stamp in one and a hammer in the other. I still manage to goof off though.
Your stamping and design work is beautifully composed on each piece, do you usually sketch these out first, or work straight onto the leather?
Lyndsi: As far as stamping, I am constantly coming up with or attempting to come up with new patterns. I'll usually have an idea in my head and then start tinkering around with it on pieces of left over scrap leather. We do a lot of tinkering. Once I create a stamping pattern that I like, I just roll with it. When it comes to design patterns for our bags, backpacks, etc. that's more of Nick's world. I'll often come to him with an idea of something I think would be rad to make and he turns it into something tangible. Often from scratch. He just has a knack for it.
Your bags are what really created a name for Mean Jean, and I can't help but drool over the hand stitched clean edges. How have the bags evolved, and where do you envision things going in the future?
Nick: Well, each time we create a new bag design it always seems to be larger than the last. I don't foresee making anything too large though. Neither of us are fans of those giant sacks you see people lugging around. Do you really need all that with you? Recently, we've been doing a lot of work outside of handbags and we both love it. It's never scary creating something new because we have this unspoken shared vision that keeps us stylistically rooted. I can't explain it, all I can say is that when you put it into words you get, "Mean Jean."
We all have a favorite, and least favorite, aspect of our work. What's yours?
Lyndsi: My favorite aspect of our work is the stamping portion because it's a creative challenge. I enjoy watching the stamping on a project through its different stages (stamping, dying, antiquing, finishing). It's a great feeling when it finally comes to fruition. I am not a fan of hand stitching though. It's very unforgiving and can get extremely monotonous!
Nick: My favorite is finishing the leather. You never really know what you're going to get until those final moments but it's amazing every time. It's truly breathes life into it. My least favorite is waiting for things to dry. There's a fair bit of waiting involved in leather craft and I'm usually antsy to finish because I'm excited to see the final product. The upshot to the waiting are breaks (a.k.a. Pinball).
Any tools you're geeking out over lately? Or just wish you had gotten sooner?
Lyndsi: We're headed to a trade show at the end of the month. I'm really excited to pick up new stamps for my collection. They're something that's best purchased in-person. You can expect some rad new designs come the spring!
Nick: Full disclosure, I just bought a sewing machine. It's not for our handbags as those HAVE to be hand stitched but I'd been wanting one so we could start creating other new products. There's a bit of a learning curve but I'm picking it up fast.
Do you guys have a favorite product your making at the moment?
Lyndsi: It's hard to answer that because we're are constantly striving to creating new pieces. One week it's a backpack, next week it's a purse. Recently, we've been focusing on expanding our line of homewares. That's been a lot of fun for me.
Nick: We've been R&Ding these double-sided guitar straps and they are fucking awesome! Haha. In all seriousness, I think my excitement stems from the fact that until now, I haven't really been able to wear any of our products. Purses don't look good on me.

Something big happens view spoiler [ Cat get turned into a vampire hide spoiler ]. This fourth instalment of the Night Huntress series was a bit of a mixed bag.
To date, foreign rights esrly her novels have sold to twenty different countries. This was not only fabulous, but it so made me want to read the rest of the series again. One Grave at a Time. Certainly the writing sometimes left something grav be desired and eventually the plot became so ridiculously beaten, abused and tormented that I briefly considered starting a home for it and marketing telethons help others like it.
I like discussing relationship problems about as much as I jaeniene discussing festering yeast infections. Bones will always be first in my eyes but now I am total fan girl of Spade, Ian and even Vlad. Both Cat and Bones are walking on egg shells with one another. So, even though there is a storyline going frodt about some other vampire dude who wants Cat she's like Vampire Viagra or somethingit is really about their relationship.
Three-quarters of their actions never rang true for me. Thousands of books are eligible, including current and former best sellers. I guess I either needed context, and this series gives it, or to get a lot more desensitized to vampire smut. One whom took me by surprise was Vald who was another who helped Cat through her tough time, he was also really funny with his comments toward the events going on.

Press Release
Cham, Switzerland, August 22, 2016: The Swiss fintech company MUUME and Swisscom are working together on digitization projects. The first joint project is the integration of MUUME technology in the app of the Bernese soccer club BSC Young Boys (YB).
In the Bernese Stadium Stade de Suisse, fans and visitors can use the YB app to directly order and pay for food and drinks in the app already before half-time starting on August 20th. This reduces the time standing in line later, since customers have already ordered and paid in advance, all completely digitally. The fans can pick up their food and drinks directly without standing in line for a long time and without the time-consuming selecting and paying process.
For select projects of Swisscom, MUUME will be the developer and supplier of customized solutions in the field of services and payment for apps that Swisscom develops. Using the technologies integrated in the mobile apps, the ordering and payment processes for suppliers should be more efficient and significantly simplified for users.
Daniel Gradenegger, CBDO & Co-Founder of MUUME: "We are pleased to have a strong and, for us as a digital self-service provider, a particularly central partner for digitization projects on our side in SWISSCOM. Our first joint project, that with the Young Boys Bern, is giving us the opportunity to make services and payment easier, more effortless and more customized for consumers and for the soccer club alike.
Christian Palm, project manager at Swisscom: "We have looked for a partner who will help us to realize ordering and payment in the digitization of customer experiences so that added value can be experienced by the customer. The YB app is an ideal first project to accelerate the implementation of new experience concepts for live communication and to tap into new potential for marketing by the event organizers."
Daniel Marti, Head of Marketing of the BSC YOUNG BOYS: "We would like to offer our fans and viewers a thoroughly enjoyable stadium experience. This also means being able to order and pay for drinks and food as easily as possible before the game and during halftime. Together with Swisscom, MUUME is the ideal partner for ensuring a smooth, uncomplicated and fast processing so that the game can be the focus of the stdium visit and not the annoyance of waiting in line forever at the concession stand."
About Swisscom

A Thanksgiving Break Netflix Compilation
Thanksgiving break has come to mean many different things to collegiettes. Whether you're excited to spend time with your family, chow down on a traditional Turkey dinner, or hit the stores on Black Friday for great deals, everyone can look forward to some relaxing time at home. And what better way to relax than by watching Netflix? I'll just tell you, there is no better way! I've made a list of a few of my Netflix favorites right now that is perfect for a movie marathon over break. Happy watching everyone!
Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)
This independent film carries several big names like Aubrey Plaza from NBC's Parks and Rec and Jake Johnson from Fox's New Girl. But the stars in the movie aren't what make it so great, Plaza's character works as an undercover journalist doing a story on a man who believes he has the tools and ability to travel through time and space. The dialogue ranges from funny to heartbreaking and keeps you hooked all the way to the end.
Skyfall (2012)
Daniel Craig is back in his role as MI6's Agent 007, James Bond. The third movie in the recently reprised James Bond series delves into a whole other side of Bond's dark past. The action scenes in the movie are brilliantly smooth as you would expect from any Bond movie. As always Daniel Craig shows that it's not about the weapons, but the man who uses them.
The Breakfast Club (1985)
Once again, The Breakfast Club is back on Netflix and I for one couldn't be happier about it. This quintessential 1980's movie will remain in our hearts forever and is definitely worth a good throwback every once in a while. If you have yet to see it, I'd watch this one first! The movie will have you laughing and pondering life just like these high school kids of the 80's once did. Watch this movie and then try to tell me you wouldn't fall for bad-boy Judd Nelson too.
The Kids Are All Right (2010)
Julian Moore, Josh Hutcherson, Mark Ruffalo, and Mia Wasikowska are just a few of the starring leads in this modern day family movie. The film explores the relationships between two kids trying to connect with their sperm donor father and at the same time maintain the bonds with their loving mothers. The story is a serious drama but also a great comedy at times and gives insight to modern day family structures. Not to mention, the soundtrack for the film is pretty killer too.

Which Company Has the Most Tentacles in Your Life?
Most Valuable Company
Apple is the most valuable company in the world, worth $659 billion as of this writing, and it derives more than half its revenue from smartphones. Though it seems some people can't live without their electronic umbilical cord, it has plenty of competition from Google and its Android system as well as Samsung (SSNLF) and others. It's making a foray into financial services with ApplePay -- but so is Google with Google Wallet. Apple may satisfy your entertainment and tech needs for now, but it doesn't have nearly as many tentacles as Google.
Search for Your Car, Your Utility Provider?
Search giant Google is already experimenting with being your service provider. From there it's not such a farfetched idea to providing your utilities. Fully 64 percent of Americans would consider signing up with a non-utility provider like Comcast (CMCSA), Google or SolarCity (SCTY), according to a recent Shelton Group survey. Google's Nest thermostat gives the company a tiny toehold into the Internet of Things trend. Google may also satisfy your automotive needs down the road with self-driving cars, now with more than 750,000 test miles under their belted radials. You can see one in action at its YouTube channel. By the way, Google also owns YouTube. The company has a well-funded innovation laboratory called Google X.
50 Brands You May Know
For now, staid Berkshire Hathaway may insinuate itself more in every aspect of your life with insurance (including GEICO), real estate, retail (such as Dairy Queen and See's Candies), utility companies, pipeline companies and oil and gas production chemicals. Through its investing arm, it owns stock in virtually every sector of the economy. Berkshire Hathaway even has a hand in your underwear, so to speak, as it owns Fruit of the Loom, one of its more than 50 brands.
Womb to Tomb
Amazon aims to be your grocer, entertainer, gadget provider and retailer of everything -- and soon delivered the same day, by drones. Sales have grown from $15 million in 1996 to net sales of $20.58 billion in its third quarter alone. One of its newer challenges is going against consumer goods giants Procter & Gamble (PG) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) with Amazon Prime diapers.
For Americans in middle to lower socioeconomic brackets, Walmart -- America's largest private employer -- supplies many of their daily needs, including financial services, groceries, medical services and coffins. The company's 2014 annual report revealed $473 billion in 2013 net sales. Of that, global e-commerce rose 30 percent to $10 billion. Walmart has throughout its 50 years made smaller businesses obsolete, and it pressures suppliers into squeezing margins to keep those everyday low prices.
The 500-Pound Octopus
Century old General Electric has operations in 170 countries in aviation, transportation, medical technology, infrastructure and energy -- or as GE simply categorizes its business divisions: curing, building, moving and powering.
GE is involved in plenty of blue sky thinking, such as robotics and 3-D printing for industrial uses. In the U.S. you may use a GE appliance, but most of the ways the company interacts with you are behind the curtain. Of all these companies, GE is the company most involved in your continued good health, with millions of dollars spent on medical and biotech research.
Its global reach is powerful: in China, the company is helping develop natural gas infrastructure; it won $40 billion in engine business at the Dubai Air Show in two days; and over the last decade has tripled revenues from emerging markets like Algeria and Indonesia. GE Capital is strong in in international finance, and GE expects its portfolio to remain 30 percent weighted to specialty finance.
From Dusk to Dawn, Around the Globe
It's a tough call which company has the strongest grip on your life, but these companies are aiming every day to strengthen that grip and simultaneously their grasp on your wallet.

The actual attack on Pearl Harbor lasts for 15 minutes on screen, and it's a wonder of pyrotechnics and bravado, mixed with heartbreak and torment as we witness the young men and women falling victim to this day. Director Michael Bay shows his usual masterful touch as he manges to balance spectacle and sentiment, while pulling you into the story. And the story does have a few surprises in store that will break your heart.
The performances are all earnest and heart-rendering, but the stand-out performances are from Cuba Gooding Jr. (as the first African-American sailor to be awarded the Medal Of Valor) and Alec Baldwin as Colonel Doolittle (who sacrificially leads his men on the mission to get back at Japan). A movie that runs for nearly three hours, but with a beatiful music score, terrific acting and a moving script, manages to enthrall you every minutes of the way. (5 out of 5, by Carlisle Johnson)
Featuring Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale in a tremendous all-star cast, the innocence of a nation is instantly shattered by a sudden and devastating act of warfare. As the lives and loves of a generation are tragically swept into the greatest conflict modern man has everknown - World War II - the events at Pearl Harbor become a supreme test for the strength of the human spirit.

Fri, 18 May 2012 | Review by: shadow_mithril
This movie is so strongly focused on giggling nurses and romance, that I didn't really get the idea that I was watching a war movie. At least the "dog fights" between the planes and the attack on Pearl Harbor were good.
