Eco toting :: PAWLING

As you know I'm a big fan of minimalism...less is always more in my eyes for good design. Pawling print studio is very much a representative of this theory. I especially love their big bulky eco shopping totes that sport these wonderful minimalist patterns and illustrations.

say hello to PEEKABOO COLLECTIVE!

I'm super excited to post today, it's a special one for me, it's the launch of my latest and greatest project called Peekaboo Collective, a collection of organic & handmade products for children and grown-ups alike! 

Sprouted from an idea planted in the Spring of 2010, myself and my two partners, Shelly Kuzniarek—a designer and letterpress wizard and Jodi Wroblewski—a designer and silk screen master, have decided to combine efforts to make all of our skill sets of illustration, design and printing more powerful through teamwork.

Although we are each accomplished on our own as designers and makers, together we are hoping to develop ideas further and push past the formulaic and almost expected designs that are so often seen for babies and toddlers. We draw inspiration from a variety of sources, but mostly from nature and the little ones that surround us.

We hope you enjoy our eco efforts and can't wait to show you what else we have in store!

until I can get all my banners and links up on the blog, check out our etsy shop and there are more photos here.

Rose hip cards

Rosehip - A6 notebook designs, originally uploaded by inspire*inspire.

i saw these posted on inspire inspire this morning and was so pleased to see how eco-friendly these are. based in the UK, rose hip strives to use environmentally friendly products wherever possible, either paper which is 100% recycled or from well managed sources. i just love their kitchy colors and designs. pictured here is a small sampling of their A5 notebooks, see more here.
