shop talk

I thought today I'd give a little update on what's buzzin' over at the shop.

Its been busy and hopping and a whole lot of screens have been whizzing their way off to new homes - warms my heart to think of all that screen printing gong on! :)

A few new products have been added lately and I'd like to give them a wee shout out here.

The lovely and talented Jackie Lams has five new designs in the shop:

Top row: Blueprint and Kimono Chain
Middle row: Scissors & Thread and Sweet Bird
Bottom: Stitches

Many requests were made for screens of the images that I used to print the screen printed pendants in In Stitches so they've now got their own category in the shop. They are small but they are mighty! And great for more then pendants. Their teensy size endears them to all projects where you just want a little touch of something.

And last but not least, I've decided to start carrying some books in the shop. There are an incredible amount of resources for the surface design artist out there so it was hard to choose. I'd like to expand the category eventually but to begin, I've chosen two books from Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan of Committed to Cloth in the UK, Thermofax Printing and the one that they wrote with Jane Dunnewold, Finding Your Own Visual Language.

I have both and love them. I plan to only carry books that I personally have and enjoy (which is a pretty big category) so this seemed like a grand place to begin.

So that's what I've got - hope you find some goodies there that speak to you and want to take up residence in your studio! :)
