Painting and panting

Hi everyone!

It’s a warm and buggy Sunday night over here where I’m at, and I wanted to drop a note to let you all know that I’ve been busy painting up my new home/studio, as I will be holding a small traditional ceremony to symbolize that I will be moving in.

If it sounds complicated, well, it is, but this means that Mr T and I have about 4 more days to go before the in-laws come over — and that means non stop sanding, painting and washing to get the house in tip top condition for some traditional rituals.

Apologies for the scattered posting, but it’ll be much better after this weekend.

Hope your weekend is a fantastic one!

PikaPackage October #1

I was finally able to snap pictures of the contributions by the artists of the October PikaPackage Project yesterday; after weeks of intermittent sunlight that made taking photos a nightmare! Without ado, here’s the first batch of our participants:

  1. Kate Endle sent in adorable and cheery mini collages;
  2. Flora Douville’s watercolor prints of alphabets + animals are amazing;
  3. Eireann Lorsung of Oh Bara made exclusive etchings exclusive little etchings with chine collée (which you can’t find anywhere else!); and
  4. Carolyn Alexander sent in her latest book, along with stickers + prints for the launch!

More to come in the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled! 🙂

P/S — we still have a couple of packages left from August’s PikaPackage Project, so if you want to grab it before it’s gone, head to our SHOP!

Handmade Nation!

After many years in the making, I’m so glad to hear that Faythe Levine and Cortney Heimerl is one step closer to releasing the Handmade Nation movie by first launching the book Handmade Nation! She traveled to 15 cities and interviewed 80 artists to document the tight knit community of arts and crafts.

See more sneak previews at Kate Bingaman-Burt’s Flickr stream because she illustrated the whole book; and follow Faythe’s progress over at her blog.
