I ♥ NY but...
Maho
Maho, which means 'Magic' in Japanese, is a children's book I created.
The story centers around the issue of Japanese whaling ships. Its goal is to educate the younger generation about the impacts of their consumption patterns, in the hope of driving cultural change as a new generation emerges.
The book comes with a silver bookmark that I handmade.

Throw it like a grenade
Bean Clock. I made this for someone special. The only thing that wakes him up is smell of a fresh cup of coffee, or the promise of one.
It's a grey-on-grey 'alarm clock' knitted out of mohair. I filled it with fresh-roasted coffee beans and throw it at his head like a grenade while he is still sleeping.
It's a trick. It's not unlike a salt lick the hunter uses to lure an unsuspecting deer into daylight for a clean shot. The 'snooze' button on top is non-functioning.
