Now, do your best to only watch once or twice, because you have a podcast to listen to!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qRcDHRJQ4IA\" width=\"584\" height=\"328\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that mesmerizing?

Yeah, me too.<\/p>\n<p>Up next, the insane augmented reality project Heather just did with Facebook:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/49Rs4nu3LsI\" width=\"584\" height=\"328\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Ah-<\/em>mazing &#8230; the work, not to mention her story about the letter she had written, but not sent, to Mark Zuckerberg! Oh Universe, you&#8217;re so crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Now, when her paintings aren&#8217;t on a bare wall at Facebook HQ, they are on both canvas and paper. Here are a few of my faves from Heather&#8217;s beautiful portfolio:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29643\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/images\/heatherday\/heatherday2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"3031\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Gorgeous! Speaking of which, brace yourself for these images of her travels. Sketchbooks filled with abstract inspiration, and even full size pieces that she paints outside &#8230; sometimes in &#8220;inconvenient spots along rivers&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29643\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/images\/heatherday\/heatherday3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"3614\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, so inspiring\u00a0<em>{ps.
