what's the bizness, yeah?

I've wanted business cards for some time now. Not because I have particularly serious business to arrange or because I'm constantly weaving in and out of social settings where I leave people wondering how can I get more of what you have to offer? I just like them.

I finally got around to making some today with the lasercutter, and I quite like how they turned out!  Are they terribly informative? No, not at all...but hey, do I really have that much information to give? No, not really.  

Since it's the internet, here is a shot of what they look like next to kitten paws so you can fully understand them.  



I don't know if you can really tell from these photos, but the text is etched into the paper.  It's really, really cool if you happen to get excited about things like indentations in paper.  

Probably my favorite thing about the whole thing is now I have hand confetti! A new lease on life, for sure.

While I'm blabbering a bit about personal branding, here's the current packaging for my jewelry.  Nothing too fancy yet - definitely by no means final, but it'll do for now! 


P.S. the fabric in the background of these photos is some cotton I dyed peach. I'm gonna make a stamp and do a floral pattern on it one of these days and make a fine lookin' pillow cover.

dip dye

After a failed effort to dip dye a tank top over the weekend (apparently you should dilute bleach before submerging fabric into it, just an FYI), I'm ready to try again! This time around, I'm thinking of picking up some basic sweatshirts to bleach, and dye blush pink and black. If all turns out okay, I'll update with the results. 

A little dip dye inspiration!

I know the Margaret Howell lookbook for the newest collection has already saturated tumblrs and blogs (see a few posts below...) but I instantly fell in love with these two button ups from Creatures of Comfort and couldn't help but think of how perfect they would be for summer. I'm hoping to maybe do my own DIY version of them this weekend with maybe a little boys oxford shirt. Cutting off and tacking the sleeves seems like it would be easy enough! And a lot more affordable. I'll let you know how it turns out!
