It's Official...

We have studio mates!

The girls from Free Time Industries
are all moved in.
It's been three weeks of bliss.
(At least as far as I know)

Before:

...all lonely.
.
.
.

And NOW:

It's like a big old design party up in this.
It's almost like being in school,
only I actually like all my classmates.
Oh and Beth and Megs are around too.

C'est bon.

Oh Joy!

Joy did a nice little post on the
mini-pedestals today!

Thanks Joy!

I'm in love...

with Gretel's new online windows:

I mean, even though she's making me look bad,
(or my photo taking skilllllz)
I still looooooove them.
(!!!)

Inspirations: Julien Renault

I'm really digging his products
especially these shoes.

But I'm really blogging
because
I love the styling and photography.

"Almost Isn't Good Enough"

This happened to me today.

Poo-poo you
white-taurus-driving old man.

Photo Shoot: A Re-cap

I'm excited to see the real

product of Sunday's shoot.

It was a lot of fun
and a huge learning experience for me.

Lauren working her magic.

The panca.

The panca and Ursula.

Frank being rad and well, Frank.

Beth: The Apprentice

The End.

Overheard: In Our Studio

Actually it was
at home while falling asleep on the sofa.

Brian: You know all we need to
do to the Panca bench is widen the length.

Jamie: You mean lengthen it?

Brian: (laughs) Yeah, pretty much.

Yesterday

Dear Universe,
Aside from missing ceramics class,
yesterday was the raddest.
Thank you
and
keep it up.
(!!!)

We finalized some major
decisions with Justine
for a table project.

While snooping around her site,
I found this photo that
Charlie Schuck took:

I l-l-l-l-l-love his work.
Justine mentioned that
he's taken photos for totokaelo.

Then we met with Ashley
to talk about a lighting project
in portland.
(More details as they firm up.)

Ashley also works as a stylist at Totokaelo
and handed me Charlie's card.
(I love how the universe works.)

Then we mailed off our contract
to Jansen+Co.

And Brian is still obsessed with this and this.

While I've still been obsessed with this:



and this:



And I finished up yesterday with a much
needed 6pm bedtime.
I literally couldn't more anymore.

Frame Lights on Remodelista

just wanted to mention
that the frame lights popped up
on remodelista last week.

Mini-Pedestal Sale

This almost never happens,

so grab them while you can!

inpirations: danken

i just found out about danken yesterday.
danken is committed to sourcing fibers from farms
that are organic and predator-friendly.

(predetor friendly means that
no lethal controls are used
on the sheep's native predators.
-i didn't even know that sort of thing existed.)

ashley helvey is the wondergirl
behind the felting
she also has a really lovely blog.

stay tuned for more about danken.
things are a-brewin'.
:)

Inspirations: Kate Clark

pretty much don't have to

say much about kate clark's work.

it sort of speaks for itself.

(!!!)

(all photos by brian except the last one -
that one is from the artist's site)

here's a nice write up
from laura in
seattle met's 'wear what when.'

great styling

i love love love the styling
for this jewelry line.
i'm not sure where i found this
or whose jewelry this is
-
i do remember that
i didn't find the jewels
too compelling.
-
but i LOVE this
image.

i want an older bearded
sean connery-esque
man to model
something that i make.

overheard: in our studio

overheard* while reading this:
"god.
i could be a supermodel too,
if i weighted 98 lbs.
you psychopathic
whore."**

thanks to beth
for the words of wisdom
and the opening ceremony blog
(which we love)
for the inspiration.

*overheard just might have
to become a regular thing
on this here blog.

**nothing against
super skinny people
(or whores for that matter).
we love all shapes and sizes.

inspirations: abigail reynolds

ya-OW-zers.

i've recently mentioned my
obsession
with crocheting.

just found this and wanted to share.

toxicity test
from abigail reynolds.

"...reference for this work are the toxicity tests
performed on spiders in the 1960's
to determine the levels of
toxicity of recreational drugs."

siiiiiiiiiiick.

more work by the same artist.
the universal now.





these make me want
to puke my guts out.
they are so good.
