The Bottled Project

The Bottled Project

Alexx Boisjoli runs a small design studio in Toronto that focuses on ceramics, and he emailed me about his latest project that involves the production of one thousand bottles with ten illustrators.

Alexx says:
The Bottled Project hopes to create a direct connection between the craft world and illustration, we hope to give the opportunity of ceramic production to ten designers who may not have the chance otherwise. In collaborating we’re hoping to expand skills of ceramics with the creative talents of emerging illustrators.

Their first illustrator is Nolan Pelletier (whom you may remember from my post here ) and it looks absolutely lovely! I think he may still be looking for an illustrator or two, and you can contact him directly for more information — here’s the design brief.

For those who’d like to collect these pretty little works of art, you can head over to Alexx’s Etsy shop.

Paper Bicycle Creative is run by three surface product designers — Lindsay Nohl, Francesca Buchko and Chris Hajny based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the day, they design everything; from apparel to stationery, to home and gift products, and at night they work on the Daily Pattern project out of their love for patterns and art.

They’re always looking for people to collaborate with (with monthly prizes to boot!) so head over to their blog to read up on how you can get involved!

Pool Pony

Pool Pony

I discovered the mid-century inspired art of Pool Pony while perusing the tables over at Poppytalk Handmade’s latest Mix Tape market. Their pieces have lovely colors, textures and form but the people behind Pool Pony didn’t put up much information about themselves, which is a shame really. I’d really love to hear more about the personality behind the art, and to see what inspired them to create them.
