HANDCRAFT holiday 2009 collection

Here is a little slideshow of images from my HANDCRAFT holiday 2009 collection. This collection is made up of small items and accessories perfect for gift giving. For this collection I wanted to work a little more slowly, focusing on labor intensive processes done by hand. I also wanted to use up some scraps of yarn and fabric I’ve been saving.
Each piece is made individually in a small batch, and so each one is slightly different and unique. The prints and fabric are block printed, the necklace/scarves are made from fabric scraps that are wrapped with waxed linen thread, and the texture on the pillows is sewn from small wool yarn scraps.
I am also offering a special on the prints: if you buy one of each, you will save $5. I will refund after purchase (unless I can figure out how to set it to do the discount in big cartel:))
You can currently view all of the items in my shop and they will be available for purchase starting at noon CST today, 11.19.09.
Thank you all so much for your comments and support. And don’t forget to stop back here tomorrow for a gift from me.

lovely collection! it’s nice to see some of the process shots too- it’s always interesting to see how things actually get made…
jusy f.y.i., there’s a “discount code” section in big cartel- if you go to the “store” menu, and then the “promote” menu, it’s at the top… i suppose you would still have to email the person the code before they made the order though…
