I'm going to be rolling out some themed posts on this here blog soon, if I can find the time to do this more regularly. Today I wanted to feature this amazing jewelry company from Portland, Iswas+Willbe.
What I love most about them is the way they photograph their work, in little collections of objects.
There is that reference to death, nature and mysticism in their work which seems to be apparent in a lot of places these days. I love the use of driftwood and primary shapes as well. Overall its just a refreshing display of jewelry and way of differentiating ones work on Etsy through the use of creative styling and photography.
Happy Friday Everyone! I myself have a lot of work and some play planned. I came down with a nasty cold this week which SUCKS. Lot's of orders to get through today and some school assignments. But still planning to find time to hit up the beach and The Ex on Sunday. What will you be doing to celebrate the last weeks of summer? Bye for now, Alison XO
Have I mentioned how much I love neon? Actually, to be more specific, it is tribal neon that I am crazy about. Ikat and other traditional patterns in neon colours - swoon! A funny story: I made some canvas bags this summer with neon zippers and neon screen prints on them. I sold them so I went out to try to buy more neon zippers and not a single store in Toronto or Vancouver carried them. I asked my supplier where he got the first ones? Oh they were left over from the early 90's! Sooo funny. I expect they will start carrying them again in 2-3 years.
I haven't been updating my blog as much as I would like. I have been busy with some business classes i am taking, a new business venture as well as trying to get Grace Fall stuff off of the ground. I will be trying out some new products next Saturday, August 13th at a little street market called Bloorcourt. If you are in Toronto, it would be great if you stopped by!
Have a great weekend friends! XO
Happy Monday!
It has been sooo beautiful in Toronto lately, nice hot sunny days. Thank god! My weekend was spent working mostly with some patio time thrown in for good balance. I have a scary busy week ahead of me, The Beaches Show is next weekend (I will post more details on that soon) and another project I am working on is coming to a head which I will share with you in due time. So must get started on all of that...but just wanted to say a quick hello and offer up some yummy eye candy - I am *loving* this jewelry from Anthropologie, designed by Marion Vidal.
Hope it is nice and sunny where you are too. Bye for now!
