A t-shirt for the type obsessed to wear with pride. HEL fuckin VETICA – yeah! Dig just a little deeper into the Wire & Twine site to find some wonderful one of a kind items by Kelly Deal of the band Breeders Digest.  If you knit and you tour with a band, or even if you don’t… tour, you might want to take a look at Kelly’s new book Bags That Rock, knitting on the road with Kelly Deal. If you do spend a lot of time on a tour bus you might also need to some some stretching, so pick up Barbara Templeton’s Complete Idiot’s Guide to Stretching at the same time you pick up Kelly Deal’s book on Amazon.

I thought there’d be Cake

Although I appreciate, and really love, her writing. What got my attention was the visual representation of her stories she did for her website. OMG, dioramas, and that wonderfully quirky video – it’s a must-see.

This is a project that I am proud of, but glad is over. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do it again, it’s an accomplishment to have a book published. Barbara did a great job researching and providing rational, practical advice and expertise. I submitted over 200 illustrations, and the final product was released at the end of 2007. It’s available on Amazon and I expect you to go an buy one right now!
