Tis decided

So Today I am also going to make hopefully 2 feather head bands and post them up on the shop. I was originally going to just make them to custom orders, but I feel like people would buy them if they could see what it looks like and then they say HEY I want that head band! So by tonight or tomorrow evening, take a look at the shop and you just might see the head band of your dreams!

Breakfast mixed with some dye.

So yesterday was an exciting day, because my good buddy Jack came over and took us around to multiple thrift shops. I never get to do that because I am always on my bicycle, so yesterday was a real treat. PLUS we stopped and got falaffels! yum. But back to the point, at these thrift stores I picked up so many new wonderful slips ( which I already threw in a couple color dye baths), and a pill box hat, and all kinds of other wonderful vintage goodies. So now that I have collected a good amount of vintage articles I will be adding a vintage section to the shop! I am stoked about it. I was also thinking of printing on vintage shirts I had found.

I was wondering if you all would comment on that idea, do you think it would be a good idea to screen print on a couple vintage tops and skirts and purses? Let me know, if yah don't I am going to go ahead and do it anyway.

Wolf Screen Update!

I just finished the howling wolf screen, and he looks absolutely amazing. While I was cutting it out today I decided to take some pictures while it was in the process, so I could show everyone just how I do this crazy thing!

Today!!

So just the other day I sat in front of my sewing machine and made a good amount of pillow cases, all different sizes, I made it with this wonderful cotton canvas colored fabric. Then I went and got myself some fabric dye and started a dye bath last night. I did 3 pillow cases teal, and will do the others today with a wine or a dark green maybe even a peacock blue. But I will be putting prints on them this after noon and posting them on the site later this evening. Defintly exciting I love having pretty things on my bed, and they are just so soft, and they smell great! You guys will totally enjoy them as much as me!

Also! for the ladies.... I just got a bunch of full length slips and I will be printing on them as well this afternoon, so if you are a slip lady like me and plan on wearing nothing but slips this summer, you are in for a treat. Dont forget to go and check it out later!

Feathers out the wa-zoo!

I have been playing a lot with feathers recently and have come up with a couple of fantastic headbands. I had been collecting feathers from all over the place and had no idea what I was collecting them for, but I knew I wanted them and that I loved them. I wear a lot of feathers in my hair and silk screen feathers on all kinds of things, shirts, dresses, totes, pillows etc.. So it seemed only right I make the most beautiful bouquet of feathers and glue and sew it onto a head piece.

Originally I had thought of using a small fabric covered head band for the feather pallet but when I couldn't find any at the craft store I had to figure out an alternative. That is when I remembered years ago I used to cut the sleeves off my tee shirts and wear them on my head to hold my hair back. Then I looked down at my pile of cut off sleeves of tee shirts I used to turn into tee dresses, and it just clicked! What a perfect match these two will make, I thought. I then proceeded to make the most wonderful head bands/ small hats anyone could ever ask for. They look great with anything you wear. My friend and I were waitressing the other afternoon and people could not believe how something so elegant looked so great with just a ratty shirt and a pair of jeans.

I am really not trying to toot my own horn here but you gotta check these guys out... They're too wonderful to pass up..

Crafting and Creating by day... Werewolf by night

I have been giving myself a goal everyday, to make at least one new wonderful thing.. It could be anything, from a feather headband to a couple printed shirts to making pillow cases. Point is I have been crafting a whole lot, and its real stinken fun and great.

SO here is my newest idea for whiskeydog, I have been reading a lot on Mexican Grey wolves.. about how they are the most endangered mammal in North America, there is as few as 52 left in the wild, it really blows my mind hearing something like this. I love wolves.. I think they are such wonderful animals and they are so beautiful, and I really do have such fond feelings for them. Then while I am pondering up some way of making a couple Mexican Grey wolf silk screens and giving an amount of the proceeds to a foundation to help repopulate the wolves, a couple of fellas from arizona request a custom order of a wolf print on a few cardigans, so here I am today sitting my butt on the floor drawing a hundred different wolves until I draw the perfect wolf.
