Seattle Totes in Black or Natural Sturdy 10 oz Canvas. 

Great alternative to the 8¢ "reusable" plastic bag or 26¢ for a paper bag at the grocery store.   

Just sent out a large batch of totes for a Summer Event for Law Students from all over the US. You can carry a lot of heavy law books in these.

   
       
         

Finally visiting my mural again at the Seattle Made store in SeaTac airport.  A large project, with each section representing a different Seattle neighborhood.  And the "Seattle grey"wall texture turned out pretty accurate ! 🌦️🌂⚡

Stop in for locally made goods if you're near the C gates!



     

When a tea towel becomes a beer towel. Wrap a local towel around your favorite local beer for a hostess or party gift.

It's been inspiring especially during these gray weeks to see all the encouraging reviews from customers...all the way back to 2008!   Thank you to everyone for supporting artists and small business community.  Gonna spread the love this week and leave reviews for my favorite local shops and restaurants. 

Finishing up a new design this week. Seattle Bridges! Featuring our Lovely West Seattle Bridge under construction !  I was surprised to find there are something like 150 bridges in Seattle.  So I may need to do a few more towels...  Also didn't know the Aurora Bridge was built way back in the 30's, while the West Seattle Bridge was finished in early 80's.  


I have so many goofy little editing tricks I'll do before the design gets printed. Especially if time is running out.  Anything to get that first fresh perspective you get when you come into the studio.  Print it out in different colors or sizes on my tiny printer and trim/tape it all together.  Crop it or look at a mirror image. Pin it on the tote or towel.  Of course, the best thing is to send it to your best pals who will give you a solid straight up critique. and find the spelling mistakes 🧐🪄  If anyone has any other tricks I'd love to hear 'em. 

Functional One of a Kind Local Art!  Another small batch of Pacific Northwest potholders just added to my shop. Love seeing how the circle cropping changes the original design. Rollerbladers! ♥️ Find my shop link in bio.
