New Women's Clothes

what do you do when it's 4 in the morning and you can't sleep? make a collage! ok this isn't a collage in the traditional sense but it's a little collage i made with the new prints i did on women's clothes plus an old bag that i really like!

Brooklyn Flea with Etsy!

Etsy invited us to sell at their table this past weekend at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Green. We were super excited and printed many adult shirts for this special occasion. We met some other Etsy sellers including GiantDwarf and IcecreamSocial. We were also super stoked to see Loyalty and Blood since we've been swooning over their designs for months!

AND! i'm in a video on The Storque (etsy's news column)

new peacock & treehouses designs

i'm loving this new peacock design i made the other night. i've been printing it in a burgundy wine color and it looks so pretty!



also - coming to a baby onesie or bag very soon. Treehouses!

Drawings

I forgot that i put this flickr page up 2 years ago featuring drawings i was working on at the time. i still love these drawings and might figure our how to print them on bags or shirts or something. in the meantime have a look at my flickr page

here are some of the drawings:

Front Page

For anyone that knows Etsy, making the front page is a big deal. One makes the front page by being picked from other sellers who create a favorites page (a treasury) or a page of items that look good and compliment each other. I now feel like a superstar since my Cuckoo Clock baby onesie made it to the front page. I'm so glad i was home to catch it and get a screenshot.



OH and here's another treasury that my owl onesie is in. A mustard treasury.

New Bags + Hating Photography

I made 2 cute new bags this week. Both using screenprinted images and one using a screenprinted tulip fabric as well. I really enjoy making bags with a big pocket on the front to display a single image. here are some pics





I have also discovered my new hatred for photography. I haven't always felt this way. I mean taking pics of friends and my cat is cool but product photography. YUK! i can't stand it. the only way i get good pics of my stuff is if i set up this big contraption where i turn a table over and set up shop in the middle of the room. It might be different if i made small things and could set up a cute little lightbox. This is not the case. I drape white sheets on my turned over table and light the room up with 5 million watt bulbs (make sure they are daylight bulbs or everything is yellow). i'm basically creating this crazy ghetto lightbox which is cool but such a hassle to assemble every time i want to take a pic. So in the middle of the living room we have our table turned over, lights clamped onto any and all sturdy pieces of furniture and my old cat knocking everything over. And don't tell me to go outside! the direct light just makes the fabric look wrinkled even after steaming and ironing twice. oh well. i just ordered a lightbox tent though which basically folds up when you are finished using it so maybe that will make the process easier. to put your stuff up to sell on etsy or anywhere you need good photos so i guess i'll have to suck it up and keep trying new tricks to make it less tedious.

website

i just stayed up all night making a website. i was kind of dreading it because of my contempt for html but i decided to give myself one night to make it and just put it up without over-analyzing it. for now it will just link to my etsy shop because i am finished for the night and can't imaging trying to put in a shopping cart right now. besides - i need to get my inventory and designs together. MORE BAGS. once again it is too late to upload photos and i'm off to sleep. i have to get up tomorrow for Dim Sum with my Jewish family on Xmas. should be a blast!
