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!

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

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!!

1722 NW Raleigh St.,  Suite #101 (on the corner)

Can’t wait to see/meet you again!
