Mark Your Calendars: Prismatic Vortex Sewing Day
Filed under: 11211, 11222, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
Arts@Renaissance has been rolling out a number of really amazing events— but this one (which I discovered via North Brooklyn Community Group) is especially interesting and as such merits special attention. Here’s the low-down:
An artist and all-around nice lady named Amanda Brower is endeavoring to create a site-specific fabric installation at Arts@Renaissance. This will be called “Primatic Vortex”. In order to make this happen she needs our help. Here’s how we can lend a hand:
- Donations such as fabric (specifically: cotton, sheets, pants, and non-stretchy fabric in all colors and/or patterns), notions, sewing tools such as needles, thread, and scissors will be greatly appreciated. These can be dropped off at Arts@Renaissance (2 Kingsland Avenue) or at any Round Robin Collective’s event (whose calendar can be found here).
- By literally lending a hand February 18th: no experience is necessary and all ages are welcome!
This installation, once completed, will reside at Arts@Renaissance during Round Robin’s artist in residency therein (Think: until mid March). This is a really wonderful opportunity for us north Brooklynites to donate our time (or in my case: a bunch of hoarded fabric) to make our community an even more beautiful place. Anyone wishing to get more information about this event should check out Prismatic Vortex’s Facebook page or Tumblr page; or contact masterminds behind this endeavor (Amanda and her aide de camp Ailsa) via email at: amandabrowder (at) gmail (dot) com or ailsa (dot) cavers (at) gmail (dot) com.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Daisy (Still) Needs A Home
A lady named Leslie writes:
Hi,
I e-mailed you a while back about posting my two cats that were up for adoption (http://www.newyorkshitty.com/greenpoint-goodness/?p=67551) – soon after your post, Pancakes found a home, but his mom Daisy is still looking for a home. I was wondering if you might post her picture and a link to my site that has more info (greenpointkittens.wordpress.com). I took in her and her kittens, and
although they’ve all found homes, she’s still looking for her permanent home. Daisy is about 3 years old, super sweet and loves to be pet. Unlike some cats (not naming any names) she is really
appreciative of any attention that comes her way. She likes to follow me around, play with feather toys and chase crumpled paper.
She’s a really great cat and I’m hoping to find her a permanent home soon where she can have all of the space and attention she deserves. I think she would do best as an only cat or as a first cat. I know she will make a great pet for someone, she’s a a very easy cat to take care of, not at all a troublemaker.
Anyone who is interested in giving Daisy a permanent, loving home should contact Leslie at greenpointkitties (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks!
