Pasticcio Quartz Issue 12!!!

Maybe you've seen one...maybe you haven't, but Pasticcio Quartz is our art gift to you. We make time when there is none and persevere to bring all we've got to our quality art zine. Our newest issue of Pasticcio is finally available and all decked out in honeysuckle...the color of 2011. All spring long Sarah Fishburn and I reved up our team of 2 (that's us) and really made this issue one we love...It's jam packed and in full color. Tons of beautiful art to puruse...the perfect reading material for those summer days ahead...

Our summer 2011 issue is fresher than ever... Want eye candy? Palais d'Art will satisfy... Looking for inspiration? Seth Apter, Roxanne Stout, Laurie Zuckerman, Amanda Marie Ploegsma, and Suzi Blu have what you need! Art history...recipes...reviews...tips...travel...a virtual truckload of brilliant imagery delivered in a gorgeous, full-color, gift-worthy package. If you missed out on any of our past issues, you can still get 'em, and stack them up right beside your Adirondack, hammock, or porch swing to savor as you sip your signature summer concoction and while away the hours.

hardware vintage style...

Come with me on a visit to Liz's Antique Hardware. It's on South La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles...and it's totally cool...even if you are not into hardware at all...

Look at the old...the vintage...the patterns...the millions of pieces of hardware...just soak it all in....

I have an library card holder with eight drawers...but I would love to have this one to sort out all my art supplies. That would be heaven...

There are keyholes, and knobs, and wheels, and locks and sconces and door plates...and it is just mind boggling... 

and in the back...there's a bargain room where there is a bunch of chipped, broken, cool, odds and ends...just for mixed media artists like us...

And upstairs there is an art gallery called The Loft At Liz's. Definetly worth a visit...

All this art and hardware made us hungry, so we darted into La Brea Bakery across the street...yum
