Coaster and Trivet Factory

We've been busy around here making new batches of coasters and trivets. I just loved the pattern they make when they are all laying out to dry. Aren't they pretty. 

Here I am sanding them so they are smooth to touch. I love this belt sander. It's the best.

Small Run Production Sewing

Progress update: Nice little neat stacks of my CuriousDoodles designed/ and printed fabric are turning into really cute bags! I'm running a one man assembly line for these bags. I'm to the final steps. I just need to make some decisions about the finishing touches. I've excited to share the final product with you. They should be in the shop within the week.

Sneak Peak at 2010 Silk Screen Calendar

I'm printing this years calendars again with the assistance of Diskgrunt over at his independent silkscreen press "The Pull" in North Portland. It is awesome to see my ideas come to life. I am deep in the production process of getting all of the calendars printing. It is fun and intense and so different that my normal day of 8-10 hours in front of a computer. My back isn't happy with me but I'm enjoying myself. So far I have 4 months printed so I'm a 1/3 of the way done. Woot! Stay tooned for more updates.

Also, if you ever have a project you want to silk screen, make sure to contact Diskgrunt. He is a very talented illustrator and runs a nice silkscreen shop.
