Something's Hiding In Here

uppercase. issue 10

if you already have issue 10 of  UPPERCASE magazine - then you might have seen some familiar faces. eek! we're always excited to work with janine on anything and when this issue involved being interviewed by erin of design for mankind... we couldn't wait! 

 

 

in addition to erin's sweet interview, we shared our top 10 tips for setting up at craft fairs and pop-up shops.  we cover all the basics: sending invitations, dress rehearsals, picking up fresh flowers, follow up correspondence... but we're not the only reason you should get issue 10 - inside you'll also find work by: sian keegan, jeff rogers, jen causey, and lots of pups. better yet - suscribe and get every issue!

BHLDN + FORAGE

don't worry, BHLDN didn't forget about the fellas. their first boutique in houston tx is opening next week and will carry an exclusive collection of  FORAGE bow ties made from vintage fabric. if you happen to visit their shop you might also notice the gents working there are wearing bow ties that we made especially for them. 

let's stick together

another project we did for BHLDN are these bundles of faux bois chalk. we made a mold of sticks that stephen hand carved, then cast each piece one by one. the sets are tied together with vintage cotton ribbon that we letterpress printed using old lead type. they're functional as chalk, but also make a sweet token of affection to share with a friend.

a little peek behind the scenes...

here comes the bride...

we're so excited to be working with BHLDN. most of you know it holds a special place in my heart and we've been having lots of fun making new things just for them. this collection of music boxes just might be my favorite. they're one of a kind, covered in vintage wallpaper scraps, with a vintage brass name plate holding a small letterpress printed card. wait, there's more... when you turn the wooden knob, they play "here comes the bride".

ellen greene

i fell in love with the idea of having my knuckles tattooed because of ellen's work and it's no coincidence that we both have a “LYLAS” tattoo. if you're in chicago, make sure to visit firecat projects to see an amazing collection of her painted gloves.
