We shot the before half of the new before and after shots for betsy & iya and jen lamastra’s art clothing. The focus of the shoot is all things re-purposed. These process shots are from day one of the shoot…and also the previous day where Jen, W and I painted 300 Miller High Life cans matte silver. Hot. Stay tuned…
Man, I love my job.
Happy Wednesday, everybody!

Hi, lovelies! I’ve been spinning around lately, just returned from a trip down to California to sell at a big music festival, saw Lauryn Hill live, and picked up 2 new boutiques to sell betsy & iya. Shwew!!
I’m POOPED, to say the least, but I can’t take any days off and here’s why:
You know that AWESOME book I keep rapping about, well…
on THURSDAY, JUNE 17TH, starting at 7 pm, there will be a book signing for the AUTHOR of The Handmade Marketplace, Kari Chapin. I am sooo excited to have her in my shop and for the opportunity for you all to meet her. If this is the first time you are hearing about the book, I shout—GET IT! It is one of the most useful books that has ever come out for us crafter entrepreneurs. I am so honored her publisher wanted to do the signing at my studio and even more honored that I’m a small blip in the book.
Please come by on Thursday and say hello to us!!
