How It’s Made – Wood Prints

Many of you have come to love the wood print product line which started almost 3 years ago now as a regular item, but everyone always asks me how they are done. All I can say is a lot of time and love is poured into each and every single one of them. Simple as that. These a really are handmade down to the very cutting of the wood.

Wood Cutting

I normally try to prepare all the wood for screening when it is nice and I can work outside. But mother nature didn’t play so nice this September so I was outdoors on very cold day cutting and sanding. I made the mistake of cutting indoor one day to avoid the cold, but lets just say I made a rather large mess and it was back outdoors for me.

Varnishing

After they are all cut and sanded a stain is hand mixed to get the correct colour and applied to each one. This is when it gets fun because you get to see all the amazing wood grains come out of each piece starting the transition into each one being one of a kind. They spend hours drying and then it is onto a nice gloss layer of varnish to get them ready for screening. This is basically when I catch up on hours of TV shows and movies I’ve missed after working over the summer.

Once each piece of wood is completed it is onto what I do best … silk screening everything by hand!!!

Wood Prints

This season a larger batch was done so I hope everyone who has been waiting for one will be able to snatch them up. We’ve been sold out of many since the beginning of August and everything should be restocked online and at the shows in the next few weeks including all our Christmas Shows.

See you all soon

Wood Prints Restocked for the Summer!

It took a little bit of time and apologize the wood prints were sold out for a while, but they are all now restocked in the online shop. A few of the designs have only 1 or 2 left after an amazing weekend at ArtWalk here in Edmonton (thx for all your support everyone), but I still have a nice solid supply for the summer. Can’t promise how long it will last so if you’ve been waiting I would hope on and get your order in before they take off to all our festival this summer.

If you want to shop in person check out the summer shows so you can see where I’ll be.

Happy shopping and if you have any questions be sure to email me like normal.

Dresses Online Now

Dresses4

Our brand new silk screened by hand and sewn local dresses are now available online. The dress patterns used for sewing were created by us and are all sewn in Alberta. Made from a 70% rayon (from bamboo) / 30% cotton blend it makes for the perfect summer/spring dress.

All the dresses include a tie, which is your choice if you prefer to use it or not. We did not sew any loops so you can simply place it where your natural waistline falls. Each of the dresses has a link to the sizing chart so you can determine your best fit. They were made to be pretty true to size, but have a look.

These dresses are easy to wear by adding leggings and a cardigan, or throw on your flats and off you go. They will be selling fast this summer and we can only get in a few batches until you’ll have to wait till next season. I sure hope you love them.
