Handmade shoes!

A friend of mine from hi school just had a art show in my hometown of Vancouver, WA. The show was a group show. As I was looking through the photos he had taken of the show (all amazing B.t.w) I stumbled upon this shoe designer. His shoes are incredable, made with some recycled materials and sometimes wooden heels, like real branches. I'm in love and I want the pair with a real railroad spike heel. SWOON!! Last 2 pics by my friend Nathan Childs, who is a amazing artist himself. Portland represent, Word!

SF design

A client at my salon today had this great small make up sized bag made out of tabs from soda cans. I asked her about it and she told me it was her studio mate who designs them and then has them made over seas. I looked up the website and now I am lusting after them all. They are recycled, gorgeous and light weight. I have to go to one of the stores in SF and see what the prices are. Check out the website for stores in your area. They are made by Escama Studios. The designers name is Andy, I only know from the woman today. Nicely done Andy!!!

Buy handmade! Angel Eyes Designs!

A friend of mine from Seattle who has been making ties and other things for a long time just ventured into swim suit making. Here are some new pictures of her designs. They aren't available just yet but they will be up on Angels website soon! How cute is my friend Kamala (the girl in all the photos) modeling the suits.

New stuff on Etsy

I have finally had a chance to add some handmade items to my Etsy store.  I have been hand dying slips for a few years now and just did a few batches.  The colors are so vibrant and bright for summer.  I have added a couple so far and will add more later tonight as I finish embellishing them.  Look for more bright yellow, bright orange and turquoise.

 I want to thank all my readers, I know there are only a hand full of people who actually take the time to read it but I do thank you and I hope I am not too boring!
