Studioshop

  

Isn't this a lovely shopping tote? The artwork is by Keiko Lee-Hem.



And I'm so intrigued by Aja Robb's collages. These items are both from Studioshop, an online store featuring the work of artists who attended Emily Carr Institute. The shop is filled with beautiful (+ handmade) stuff!

Squid web v2.0


We're SO CLOSE to the launch of our brand new website! We are going live with a whole new look this Friday (the pressure is really on now). Version 2.0 will have faster loading times, new work, new store items, and more! The original design of the site was done in Excel by Matt. That's right, Excel...Matt is a spreadsheet master, and can do things you would not imagine were even possible in the program. Also, a reminder that we will be sending out a newsletter by the end of the month. A subscriber will be randomly selected to receive free goodies!

Paper Critters


How fun! Paper Critters is a website that lets you design, print, and create your very own paper characters (FOR FREE). These would make super white elephant gifts! Be sure to check out the gallery of critters (you can submit your own!).

Minä Perhonen



Is it thursday already? I was browsing through one of our favorite blogs: Fine Little Day which lead me to Minä Perhonen. This site is amazing!!! We are completely in love with it. These are just a few of their many brilliant textiles. (I know I have been posting a lot of fabric lately, but I just can't help myself! It's time for me to get my own fabric designs going.)

More Fabric!

  

Here is some adorable fabric that I got in a small fabric shop in Seattle (Stitches) a few weeks ago. I made a few (much needed) kitchen towels out of them!
