Tonight is our monthly babysitting swap with friends, and I'm excited to get out and do something adult. (Hey, maybe we'll even have dinner somewhere with white tablecloths -- woo hoo!)Since we've missed the last couple of Oakland Art Murmur events -- and since I'll be away in Portland for work during next week's "First Friday" -- I'm itching to see some art.Lucky for me, there's an opening tonight for Oakland fiber- and multimedia artist Emily Nachison at Cricket Engine, a gallery space housed in a turn-of-the-century former military infirmary near the Oakland Marina.Says Nachison of her folklore-inspired work: "Through stitching, screenprinting, assemblage, and painting I explore the mapping of memory through a language of enlarged images and symbols based on storybook illustrations.

The enlarged scale and bright colors within my work are an expression of the amplified nature of memory and fantasy, as well as the inescapable presence of the natural world."The Cricket Engine show, which kicks off with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. this evening, will be up through March 9. The gallery is located at 499 Embarcadero Ave., Building 3, in Oakland.See more of Nachison's vibrant, fantastical art right here. More Ways to Waste Time reader Leaura writes: "I'm in the process of re-doing my bedroom. I recently made curtains with Marimekko's blue fabric, and I collect vintage Lee Eden . The rest of the bedroom consists of neutral walls that we might paint, and white furniture.My issue is that I'm trying to find a comforter or duvet cover that will go with the curtains and the Big Eyed prints. Solids are somewhat of a bore for me, but I'm beginning to lose hope that anything else will work! Have some advice on prints that might work for a comforter without making the bedroom look like an unmatched color and pattern explosion?"

Photo from the Beach StudiosI know you said solids bore you, Leaura, but personally, I think an all-white bed is utterly dreamy -- especially in a room with strong color and pattern happening elsewhere. So rather than trying to incorporate even more of it on the bed, I'd go with something simple there and let the curtains and art be the stars of the show.Another thought: Those blah, beige-y walls aren't doing your decor any favors. My vote would be to paint the room a fresh, light blue (like Martha Stewart's Drop of Blue, above) with white trim, which will tie in with those bold curtains and make the white furniture pop. Or go for a clean, bright white, like Benjamin Moore's Decorators White, which will serve as a crisp backdrop for your colorful curtains and vibrant art.If you just can't live without some color and pattern on the bed, a bright blanket folded at the foot will add a little punch, as will a couple of colorful throw pillows. I especially like the Pappelina Lilo Blanket, left, $124 from Scandinavian Design Center, and the Ikebana Turquoise Throw, right, $200 from Designers Guild.A few pillow possibilities (clockwise from top left): Blue Birds Pillow, $25, from DwellStudio for Target;

Damask Pillow Cover, $15 from the Company Store; Mallory Pillow, $50, from Blissliving Home; and Cardinal on Agapanthus Pillow by Joom. You could also use some of that leftover Marimekko fabric from the curtains to whip up a couple of throw pillow or sham covers.And if you're really set on a patterned duvet cover, remember that when it comes to mixing patterns, the key is to unify them with color and motif -- so I think blue botanicals are the way to go there -- and to consider scale. The general rule when combing patterns in a space is to choose one large, one medium, and one small. Since your curtain panels are large and your art is medium-scaled, and both are fairly strong, any pattern you select for the bedding should probably be on the smaller, more subtle side.I like the pretty blue Plover Organic pattern, top left, $249 to $279 at VivaTerra; the simple but textural stripe of the Lucca Teal Comforter Set, top right, $380 to $460 from Blissliving Home; and the bold color of the Hanna Blom Quilt Cover Set, bottom, $50 to $60 from IKEA.

Hanging hardware sold separately.I wonder which came first? After discovering the work of Melbourne, Australia's Kareem Rizk via his gorgeous new BlueFlip prints the other day, I spent a little time wandering around on his website. While there, I was happy to learn that this talented artist and designer also sells some of his prints and originals on Etsy. The complex layering and the aged, weathered look of Rizk's collages give them a wistful, slightly mysterious quality -- and I, for one, am intrigued.My faves: IV limited-edition 11-by-14-inch giclee print of a digital collage, above, $40White Wall limited-edition 17-by-22.5-inch giclee print, $116Bienvenidos limited-edition 17-by-22.5-inch giclee print, $116Typo 3 limited-edition 11.5-by-14-inch giclee print of a digital collage, $40Got Me a TV 13-by-16-inch limited-edition giclee print of a digital collage, $40Fiat original 11-by-14-inch oil pastel and collage on paper, $330Model Aeroplanes No.3 original 16-by-20-inch mixed-media collage on canvas
