salt and pepper

I added a new tote bag to the shop. Not as playful and bright as the life is sweet tote bags or muslin bags. But unique for sure. We go together like the winter and a sweater, screen printed along with a salt and pepper design. This design is a unique tote bag, one of kind really. What inspired me was keeping in mind how couples sometimes feel like such a match (we go together like the winter and a sweater) and the outside world sees them as different than salt and pepper. In the end I wanted to make something that makes people think twice. Not everyone is going to get the saying on the bag.

shipping boxes for towels

Remember this face? I decided to make it part of my branding, it's displayed on my etsy shop banner, I've  made stickers that I give out at fairs, I've even made paintings. Crazy it all started out of a doodle I made while having a lazy weekend on the couch.
After bouncing ideas off of a friend he suggested I also incorporate the face onto the boxes I purchased from Uline. These boxes are prefect for shipping my screen-printed tea/kitchen towels. On the side with no printing I'll place all the shipping information.
If presentation is everything, I think I nailed it. What do you think?

table manners etiquette

 

This is new to the my online shop and is a personal favorite. It is one of the first images I screen-printed on my Yudu. I'm glad to share it for the first time and I'll also be selling it at the Odd Duck fair this weekend. I particularly like this piece because I can always use a cheat sheet for table setting according to proper etiquette. The piece is printed on paper, size 8.5 x 11 (1/16"think). I also printed the image on flour sack dish towels.

all the way to japan

My sister went to Japan for work related reasons. Because this was her second trip to Japan she knew what is customary there. She wanted to make sure that she took gifts for when she did a home visit; in Japan it is considered impolite to go to someone's house without a gift. My sister thought it would be nice to take some of my handmade pieces. Above is a photo of my canvas bag and the happy host recipient.
