virtual staging by Tracy Yarkoni photograph by Kirk DeLaurenti Used to be that if you wanted your house to sell, hiring someone to "stage" your home was your best chance to make that happen fast. Instead of your mish-mash collection of home furnishings, a pro would come in and decorate/re-organize the place from top to bottom. The fees can range around the thousands of dollars, especially if

Just finished my Chapter 3 illustration for the book I'm writing, tentatively titled: "Gods, An Epidemic: An Epic Comedy Drama With Apocalyptic Tendencies" Each chapter is based on a major arcana card of the Tarot- of which they total 22 cards out of the 78-card deck. As a whole, they follow the basic hero's journey from "The Fool" to "The World". Here is my version of "The High Priestess"

NOBODY FREAK OUT (photo by rachel wright, 2010) [mucked around with by me, 2011] This has been my favorite phrase for a while now. It all started one day, with my family riding in the car down a highway in Israel. To our right: desert. To our left: desert. Ahead: desert. Behind us? Yep, more desert, and an occasional mountain or two. And lo and behold, a road sign approached us from the right.

I did the following short story using characters from the book I'm writing (Yes, a book. What is it, you ask? I call it an "Epidemic" = An Epic Comedy Drama with Apocalyptic Tendencies) to relay my Ireland experience. It was more interesting than *me* telling it, for sure, and it was a great chance to practice writing dialogue (my absolute least favorite aspect of writing a novel) and an

Let's start where I left off by looking at those polaroids I promised in my last post. It was exciting to finally push the capture button on my vintage SX-70 (see previous post) and have something actually pop out

And then Polaroid went out of business. grrrr & double grrrr October 2008, Enter: The Impossible Project From what I can gather, a couple of artist/photographers got together and bought a Polaroid plant & then made the impossible happen - they started producing

I recently volunteered to take photos for an event and would've preferred to use my nice film camera with a pro flash, but film would've been cost prohibitive, so I decided to take my little digital camera. My Fujifilm FinePix S700 has been a handy digital camera for family photos and whatnot; but is a basic consumer level camera with a harsh built-in flash -- which I try not to ever use.

Gypsy punk band Gorgol Bordella's latest album Transcontinental Hustle is a frantic, verging on chaotic, but ultimately passionate explosion of sound. It's so rich, that I find it difficult to listen to the whole thing in one setting; but they are absolutely top of my 'I gotta see this band live' list. Here's one of the catchier tunes from the album: ...and for your visual pleasure, this "Gypsy

"… Stories of Art is a terrific and transparent meditation on what’s at stake in the histories of art we all so glibly recite. Instead of writing yet another survey, James Elkins provides the little counternarrative that rubs up against the monumental survey volumes with a kind of graceful annoyance. This is the little buzzing bee that worries the elephant.” –Michael Ann Holly, Clark Art

It is winter – well, March – and it has no leaves. {Wandering minds want to know: Is the tree embarrassed when it loses all its leaves? Do the other trees laugh and make fun of it? anyway, back to the story…}It is almost Spring, and this tree is absolute potentiality. Behind it, across the street, is an evergreen of about the

Well, new to me anyway... this song is from their first full-length album released almost a year ago. They hail from Canada and say this about their music: "We like to call what we do 'the campfire after-party,' " Buchholz says. "It's like you're at Nirvana Unplugged but there's a drum and bass party and glow sticks all around you." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquitous_Synergy_Seeker] Enjoy

Meerkats?Yes, meerkats. These little guys come straight from the needles of NiftyKnits whom I met via this wonderful team of fellow artists and crafters from etsy. Last November, the team collectively decided it'd be really nifty (snigger) if Nifty sent a couple of her meerkats out for some adventures. Many of us signed up to be hosts to said meerkats (including yours truly), and the chaos

I wanted to mix things up a bit, so I invited my main man to chime in with some thoughts of his own: Killer Bunnies by Miki Yarkoni I don’t like guns. I should probably take a minute to explain that I was born and raised in Israel, where guns are a natural part of everyday life. For those with overactive imaginations who think of Israel as a dangerous place with people actively fighting all

I stumbled across this song one day, and fell in love with the sad yet whimsical way it portrays the absurdly brittle nature of our emotional bones. Her voice sounds like how a poem feels... Breakable - Ingrid Michaelson "...And you fasten my seat belt because it is the law In your two ton death trap I finally saw A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret Then you drove me to

There's a whole lotta wildlife drama to be seen from my balcony... case in point: the other day our street was inundated with 20+ crows. They're rude, rowdy, noisy and somewhat frightening due to their very large size (is that a Seattle thing? I don't remember ever seeing a crow the size of a cat before. yikes.) So I'm guessing Hitchcock himself may have visited Seattle at some point, and was

The music fairies must have paid me a visit, because I found a mysterious cd lurking on the floor of my closet. It's by "The Tah Dahs" (whom I've never heard of) and it's called "Le Fun." As everyone knows, music fairies can be very tricksey - you never know what you're gonna get. In this case, I was in luck... here's a taste: Alcoholic - The Tah-Dahs In fact, I’m diggin this whole album – it’s

Oops, I did it again… Yep, I made another spot. This one is only 15 sec. long & a completely different style than the first. Hope you like it

Hi everyone! Etsy is having a contest for people to make 15 or 30 sec. commercials with the theme “A Handmade Moment” (http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/a-handmade-moment-4095/) Well, I was feelin’ a little crazy & made a 30 sec. spot over the weekend. The judging is weighed pretty heavily on the number of views & votes your video gets – so please watch mine & vote! so, without further ado…

Stumbling upon archaeological digs in Israel is a wonderfully common experience. Many times I have been walking down a street on some random errand, or trying to find a parking spot in Tel Aviv and have almost overlooked the temporary billboard announcing that I am within yards of some treasure being unearthed for the first time in perhaps millennia. It’s a thrilling and humbling experience,

For years I’ve wanted to do a series on mannequins, and this is just the beginning. “Tag, You’re It” is the newest addition to my shop and I can’t wait to add more. I’m fascinated by these inanimate imitations of us, not only that it’s easy to imagine them having a life of their own – but also how they are used by different cultures. This was shot in Israel, probably in Tel Aviv – though I don’t

I was tagged by a friend in facebook to do this list, thought I’d share: 1. I’m actually kind of shy; therefore, me writing a blog makes perfect sense. 2. Everything I do makes perfect sense, especially when I’m being liminal about it. 3. I try not to use the word “hate” unless I really mean it. 4. I think #3 makes me sound like a goody-two-shoes and a snob. 5. I am a goody-two-shoes, much to

For many years I pursued a career in acting. I had an amazing time, some unforgettable experiences and met some truly fabulous (and not so fabulous) people along the way; but my creative side was choked. I wasn’t making things. And I have to make things, to be happy that is. So I retired from the wonderful world of film/tv and opened up my shop at tyarkoni.etsy.com Now, I’ve had a web
