These fantastic Indian wedding photos are by Karen Wise. I couldn’t resist sharing them here – I’m so in love with the vibrant colors, intricate patterns and amazingly complex rituals of Indian ceremonies.

Festival of Colors? Hi. Yes please. Why can’t we have festivals like this here? It seems like there’s one every weekend on my street but they only have deep fried Oreos and sticky games that involve clowns with chipped paint and popping balloons. Also I love a good bonfire, except that one I went to at the Rainbow Gathering (don’t ask) where some people didn’t have pants on and I might have slept in a wigwam.

I once had a client that didn’t have a lot of money to pay me…sound familiar? When it came down to it she offered me trade. It was a pretty sweet deal because I have a weird sense of humor and I guess, design. I love these Indian Health posters, we have them up in our apartment. Its good to remind people how to take care of themselves and how to make sure your baby is healthy.

I just had to post these photos of these handbuilt Fortune Telling Robots. I love how they sit at the intersection of folk art and technology, and the fact that they work just seals the deal. I seriously want one for my next birthday.

Charity: The Liz Logelin Foundation

The Liz Logelin Foundation was established to assist families who find themselves in the heartbreaking, catastrophic situation of having lost a spouse, life-partner, and parent. The Foundation’s goal is to financially assist these families as they deal with the loss of their loved ones, and struggle to move forward. The Foundation was established in 2009 by Matthew Logelin, who lost his wife Elizabeth in 2008.
