Please note: All contributed content © foolsparadise.etsy.com

A guy and a gal, making their way across America, picking up random hobbies and applying them to all forms of art. He is visual, she is textual. By our powers combined, we bring you Fools Paradise: the only home you'll ever need.

But really, we love making things and eventually you run out of people to give them to, so we thought we'd try our hand at sharing them with the world. If you have any questions, please drop us a line--we'd love to hear from you!

We try to use as many pre-owned/discarded/found objects as possible because 1. we think they look neat, 2. they keep costs low for everybody, and 3. Mother Nature appreciates it--and we appreciate Mother Nature.

Black Friday and A Long Time Coming

I know it's been awhile, apologies abound. Sometimes all the sites get jumbled and I forget where I've been and when. If you think our ramblings and art remotely interested and want to see what our plants are named and what Pedro the Lover (our 2.5 year old beta fish) look like head over to our myspace: www.myspace.com/foolsparadise . There's even more pictures up on flickr, though.

Spread the love around, ya'll. And all those things that I had been promising would be all over and new at the et… Continue

Downtown and Freebies

One hour is a long way to ride the train to get to work everyday, but at least for now it is income.

I met a friend while we were down there being interviewed.

Check out my blog on myspace about it (and about the free gifts), and hey! why not friend us while you're there?

Have a super-fantastic day!

The Good Times Are Killing Me.

Whoosh.

Focusing on new day job options and poetry and photography have really taken our focus off the Etsy, the poor dear! See how she suffers!

Work space.

We've always envisioned having a "real" workspace. Not just some room on the couch because we shoved other projects to the floor. Not just a giant tupperware box full of fabric scraps and another of paints and such. Well, we seem to have found a way to give reason to this rhyme:

An upgrade from 520 square feet to 950! A 81 square foot "dining room" that will become what we've dreamed of. A work bench with storage. A real home for the sewing machine. Table space, floor space, space, space, space… Continue

Hi. Thanks for your comments! I'm starting to experiment more with my vintage cameras but most of the time I use them as props or as book ends!
