Last week I printed up a second order of earring tags for Antiques & Treasures, a french-themed boutique in Australia. I can’t believe how much my printing improved in just a few months — the first ones were perfectly acceptable, but these are gorgeous — deep impression, not an inking flaw to be found. Practice makes perfect, I guess!
Bailey Doesn’t Bark is the creative outlet for Re Jin Lee, a New York-based illustrator who wants her work to be not only beautiful but useful. She transfers her original drawings to porcelain blanks, making them handy for the home yet still a stunning piece of art. I love the whimsey of her ant pieces (above) and the elegant quality of her line.
I recently completed these gorgeous business cards for a friend of mine and I just love them! Having letterpress business cards are a great way to stand out from your competition as they are tactile and hold a sense of quality. Plus they’re environmentally friendly! If you’re interested in letterpress business cards from 622 press, check out your options here. Make sure to read all the way to the bottom, as additional orders of the same design are significantly cheaper.
Based in Vancouver, Richochet Studio creates familiar objects in fine porcelain — elevating the everyday to the sublime. I love the elegance of the pure white forms and the detail that makes them seem so real. Begun by Jeremy Hatch, Ricochet studio is now an artists’ co-op of sorts, currently collaborating with Diyan Achjadi and David Khang. See more pieces as well as shots of the artists at work on the Richochet Studio blog.
Another local company, Orange Moon Toys (seriously local: Meredith lives in Madison and Robin lives in my hometown of Milton, WI) just hit it big with an appearance on The Martha Stewart show. See their segment here.
The duo creates fabulous shadow puppets with their original designs and the ingenius use of some everyday materials. They even offer kits to make your own!
