Contemporary Baby Bib Design Project


Who doesn't need a pair of contemporary, handmade baby bibs in rich burgundy and deep taupe soft corduroy for their newborn infant to spit up on? They close with velcro, which is just so much easier - that is unless your little sweet pea is a grabber! This was my first experience making baby bibs and, of course, I thought it was going to be much easier than it was. That happens to me often. So, there is lots of room for improvement, but I would definitely experiment with it again. In fact, if you live in the PDX area, e-mail me before your baby shower and I'll send a pair of contemporary bibs as a gift (maybe weird, but I'm just throwing it out there). The bibs that are shown here are going with me to a baby shower on Sunday. I just hope my friends, Rachel & Brian, don't find this blog before then! Shhh!

Spring Equinox Clocks!

Happy Spring Equinox!

Today is my 33rd birthday and I have to say that I get more excited about the beginning of Spring than I do about my birthday! Although, who can complain about home-made cards and cake?! And, what could be better (and more confusing) than being a Pisces-Aries cusp girl?
To celebrate, I have created a new group of Spring-y wall clocks with Spring-y names to ring in my favorite season. HOP, SKIP, JUMP, LEAP & BOUNCE are their names, the colors are fun and the designs are loose. They are a continuation of my "sidebar" series, but the clock style is a little different than the first group...

HOP by Mary Preiser Potts / 7½" x 16¼" / $90 / sold




SKIP by Mary Preiser Potts / 6½" x 16¾" / $90 / purchase





JUMP by Mary Preiser Potts / 7" x 17½" / $90 / sold



LEAP by Mary Preiser Potts / 6½" x 16¼" / $90 / sold

BOUNCE by Mary Preiser Potts / 8" x 22½" / $110 / sold

Also, if you haven't checked it out yet, the Spring Sale at Infinity Arts Gallery is in full swing. What's that? You haven't heard? Well, you get to take 25% off a wide selection of our art clocks and wall art. Enjoy!

Without further ado I call for spring fever to begin....NOW!!!

SOLEIL / New Wall Clock Design

I took a detour from my usual rythm of working on 5 or so designs at one time to create this wall clock. I think it was really just a prayer for sun, embodied by all the sunny designs I could fit in that center column. The prayer goes like this: "I'll take sun, any sun!" - can't you hear it? February is sure a gray month in Portland. It must be helping because things are starting to look brighter now - or is that just Spring making its way onto the scene?
I am offering SOLEIL at an Introductory Price of $150. Save $25 if you order before Easter. And, we are still having our Spring Sale at Infinity Arts Gallery.

Ode to Trees...

Our Spring Sale is still happenin' at Infinity Arts Gallery, so click on over to see what we're offering at 25% off!!!
Jonah and I returned from a week in sunny Dallas, Texas last Thursday. Justin was busy recording songs while we were away; I, of course, was busy teaching my mother how to build a website; and, though no fish were actually caught, Jonah got in a much needed fishing trip with his Grampie (Justin and I have an aversion to sticking hooks through fishies' mouths)! So, I apologize for the lack of brand new clock designs, but I am working on 5 or so new ones and hope to have them ready to shoot by week's end - so check back!

I just wanted to share that someone took advantage of the introductory price of $225 on the ODE TO TREES Block Clock and bought it!



"ODE TO TREES" by Mary Preiser Potts / 12" x 33½" / SOLD!


I still have the SEEDS TO TREES Block Clock and the introductory price of $375 is still on for the rest of the week (until St. Patty's Day), so if this clock calls to you, then act fast!


"SEEDS TO TREES" by Mary Preiser Potts / 15" x 40" / Intro price: $375 / purchase

Cheers!

11 New Clock Designs From Justin

I'm off tomorrow for a week of sunny Dallas weather and time with my mom. But, before I go, I want to showcase several of Justin's 11 new art clock designs. He has done some amazing things with medium brown, tan and taupe, plus a darker design that I love! So, here they are, and I'll be back the week after next with some new designs of my own.
Oh, and I want to remind everyone about our Spring Sale! Check it out at Infinity Arts Gallery... PRIMAL by Justin Potts / 9½" x 21" / $135 / sold

"Primal" is my new favorite Justin Potts clock design. The textured black with the medium brown and the hint of deep cranberry is just yummy!




SIGNAL by Justin Potts / 8½" x 12" / $60 / purchase

"Signal" is a stunningly rich combination of tan, brown and black, minimal on design, maximal on pleasure. And, at $60, a screaming deal as well!



TRIBE by Justin Potts / 8½" x 12" / $65 / sold

I posted "Tribe" just in case you were wondering what happened to all the intense design work that Justin's clocks usually provide.

There are 8 more of these beauties (in all price ranges), so go see them for yourself at Infinity Arts Gallery!
