A new beginning..

It's finally time I started a blog. I have started and stopped plenty of tasks in my day, but this is something I have wanted to do for quite some time. If anything can give me the kick in the pants to start a new endeavor I'd say it was the viewing of Handmade Nation. I took in the premier of the Canadian screening this evening at Lennox Contemporary Gallery on Ossington here in Toronto. Over all, I was whole heartedly impressed by the documentary. If it doesn't make you want to get out there and create, then surely you have no soul! Despite some brief technical difficulties through out the show, I was quite struck by the documentary which was whole heartedly inspiring. I was also happy to see that the gallery was stuffed to the brim with people, and that the DIWHY? celebrations were a success here in the city. It proves, like a long side the documentary that DIY and the indie arts and crafts uprising is here to stay.

I highly recommend seeing this film whether you are a DIY hard fanatic, or considering starting your own new project.
