Here are links to see my silk screened t-shirts! They printed by Sassoon Markarian in Los Angeles on recycled t-shirts, hand picked by me at garage sales, swap meets and my favorite thrift stores. Some have added details like crochet pockets a flower I drew to cover up a stain or a butterfly i sewed on to cover a rip.

I am very excited about the new album my band, The Kittens, has been working on and which JP Houston (on the keyboard there) is producing. Please send me an email if you want to be notified when the album is available, or to be on my music email list.

 

 

The long awaited Shari Elf Tribute Album is here!

(Click album for more info and free downloads of all of the songs)

Well, I thought it would be fun to make a tribute album even if I've only released 1 CD before this (hey, that CD took me 15 years, I figured I should celebrate!). And I didn't want to sit around waiting for someone else to do it for me, what if they took 15 years?, so here it is, with 45 fabulous contributions from my very good friends, and since it's my album, I threw in a few songs myself.

To receive this CD, please let me know if you'd like to send a check or purchase with Paypal. Only $10 plus $3 shipping to anywhere in the USA

I am also happy to be the featured artist in the summer of 2004 issue of Artitude Zine! You can order your very own copy of this fun art zine (mentioned in Utne Reader June, 2004) by going to the Artitude web site. There are 6 color pictures of works from my collection such as this one below (titled "Here are Some flowers for Me").

 

I am delighted to be the subject of a chapter in Mary Randolph Carter's latest book in her Junk book series, Big City Junk. Released in November of 2001, there are photos and stories of my old apartment in Venice and my favorite places to find junk in Los Angeles. You will also find a picture of Bunny the Crochet Alligator and the humble beginnings of the Crochet Museum.
