We want you to try our Eco-friendly paints. They are like no other. These paints contain no or low VOC’s, and have more resins than regular paints. That means they can be hand-buffed to a beautiful sheen after they are dry. The colors are rich and dreamy. We want to encourage you to start replacing your high VOC acrylic paints with our more eco-friendly version. These paints are better for the earth and environment, better for the manufacturing workers, and better for the crafters and artists who use them. Let this sale give you the opportunity to GO GREEN!

Vintage Easter Digital Kit Special
March 12th, 2010
Just think of all the projects you’ll create using these sweet, vintage Easter images. I really love the 100 year old post cards (I found them in a little town in Texas), but I particularly love the jelly bean papers that can be printed as a solid or as a transparancy to lay over any color you choose. I find these images charming and nostalgic. Still, we’ve tried to spice them up with some hand made tags, grosgrain ribbon elements, and vintage buttons. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Steampunk Birdie!
February 5th, 2010We showed this 11” paper mache (made from recycled paper of course) Bird on a Pedestal at the recent CHA show in California. If you’re looking for something to decorate, this bird is a lot of fun. We gave a class at CHA and everyone made the most wonderful creations!
I have always loved the Steampunk art movement. For those of you that are not familiar with this style, it is (in a nut shell) art that is based on elements from the Industrial Age era (1850’s to early 1900’s) combined with fantasy or out-of-context elements. Jules Verne is responsible for much of my Steampunk enthusiasm. One of my favorite movies (visually) is Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea—a perfect example of Steampunk. Anyway, when we were creating our paper mache product line (we call them “substrates”) I couldn’t resist making this little birdie sitting on a pedestal, sitting on a ball. I thought it would make a great object to do in the Streampunk style. I taught a class at CHA and all the variations of this same bird were amazing! I am always blown away by the creative interpretations of others, so here is my version and one of the class participants. They were all fantastic. I would love to see what anyone else does with this little bird sculpture.
