Something for Everyone

I can't have a blog and not plug one of my favorite websites of all time, Wooster Collective.

"Dedicated to showcasing and celebrating ephemeral art placed on streets in cities around the world", this site is regularly updated by NYC based husband and wife team Marc and Sara Schiller, who give viewers access to countless amounts of ephemeral art from around the globe, and post video and written interviews/commentary from both artists and fans alike.  This website will change the way you look at society, and the way you look at yourself.  Check it out here.

Custom Retro-Theme Invitations

Earlier this month, I designed and hand screen printed invitations for a lovely customer in the UK.  The invites were for a combination birthday/engagement party that had a retro-style movie theme.  Such a fun project!  It is really an honor to be able to work with customers to create something totally unique.

If you are interested in custom invitations or paper goods, email me at openeyespress@hotmail.com.

The Vintage Pattern House on Etsy

One of my favorite shops to browse on Etsy is The Vintage Pattern House.  Hailing from the UK, this shop has of out of print knitting, crocheting, and sewing patterns from the 1940's on up.  The listings range from hats and kids toys, to clothing and home decor.  If you're a knitter with a pension for vintage style, this is a definite must see.
