new cards at riverside studios
Just in time for the holidays and Riverside Studios’ first Friday art opening tonight, I dropped off a new batch of my cards last night. Look for my handcarved and printed penguins, snowflakes, cactuses, cows and Tahoe postcards when you stop in next. weeee!
paper, dinosaurs, and carabiners
My mailbox has been full of fun this month! Exhibit A was a surprise pregnancy announcement from my great friend in North Carolina, and Exhibit B is above: an amazing stack of French Paper samples. Can’t wait to pick out my colors and weights and get printing for the holidays! Not only are the samples ridiculously good-looking, but they came packaged with a dinosaur figurine. As you can see, the little guy in a ribbon scarf fits right in at my house.
I owe many thanks to Michelle Murdock of Quail Lane Press for clueing me in to French Paper’s amazing-ness. Check out my profile of Michelle and her little press in Moonshine Ink‘s November edition on stands in Truckee/North Tahoe now, or online (link to come soon — they must be slacking this month). I am loving her work… in fact, I took home “Carabiners” from our interview, and have some 5 other QLP prints on my wish list.
carved!
An Etsy custom order I did for a Canadian wedding a month or so ago. Just now posting it; yep, it’s been a little hectic around here!
new on etsy: custom rubber stamps
Hop over to my Etsy shop today for an exciting new listing: custom rubber stamps!
Inspired by my recent commission for my friend Olivia, I decided to make these available for all! Olivia came to me a few weeks ago in need of 3 wedding gifts. I carved out stamps for each couple, then Chris made these super fabulous redwood toppers for the rubber. exciting…
for jackie
I broke out the blocks again for a little carving thanks to a commission from my friend Jackie. She requested a stamp of her initials so I made a set of all three letters, then a larger “j.” Pretty fun…
jet set
I’m Mexico bound, heading to Tulum tomorrow for a friend’s wedding. Actually, I’ll be officiating the ceremony so let’s hope I pull this off! I leave you with the scrap stampings (was just testing out some ink colors here) from my last craft project: a personalized stamp for Victoria with her new last name.
And just to make you jealous, here’s where I’ll be soon (photo by Photopia):
renegade gives me a craft fair for my birthday
The birthday gods are smiling upon me this year… Renegade Craft just announced their 2010 fair dates and will be in San Francisco on July 31 and August 1. Looks like handmade mayhem (more than 225 vendors), but since I missed this past year, I really really really wanna go.
See the Renegade FLICKR page for more photos.
