A bit ago Bri (The Craft Begins) offered a great opportunity on her blog: an open call to designers. She is working for a silk screening company and they are looking for original designs that they will print and produce for you. Read more about it here. How great is this? While I have several handmade silk screens at home, what’s better than letting someone else take care of producing, marketing and selling my designs on shirts. I’ve actually sent in some designs already, and although there are no guarantees, I’m still excited to get feedback and follow her company and see where they go and what things they produce.
I met Bri back in 2007 when we were both part of a group blog called Create A Day. She has always been a great friend and inspiration. Her birthday was on Sunday, so stop over at her blog and wish her a happy-happy birthday and then send her some t-shirt designs at [email protected].
And lastly, but still on a Bri theme, she recently posted a music video for Liftoff by Sigur Ros, and while I have that album, I have never seen the video for it before. We’ve both decided that we will dress like these kids from now on. The video inspired me to make the above mosaic and below mosaics using flickr photos by other artists.
Hey sweetheart! Thanks for the kind words. I love those image mosaics! I always wished for better freckles. Mine only come out when I’ve been in the sun and only then do I get little cheetah spots on my nose.
I love those pictures of flying people – so sweet! I took a road trip with a friend a few years ago and we took a bunch of pictures of us “flying” in different places – it was awesome.
Also, I was dressed all sigur-ros like over xmas and my family kept making fun of me! They don’t understand, but I know you do! <3
