Etsy: Do It Yourself @ the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland

Tonight is First Thursday and the perfect time to check out the Etsy: DIY exhibit in the Community Showcase at the Museum of Contemporary Art in the Pearl District. This exhibition will be on display in The Lab from now until March 6, which means you can go check it out the First Thursday in March as well!

Justin, Jonah and I were fortunate to be included amongst other Portland-based Etsy crafters with two of our DIY iron-on art transfers. Jonah, who is 9-years-old, has sold his art on etsy for 2 years and Justin and I are honored to have our iron-on sit next to his in the case.


We hope to post more videos/photos once we get a chance to see it ourselves.
We'd like to thank Kat Perez for highlighting etsy crafters and putting together such a lovely exhibit.

Monsters, Gift Bags & Patches - Recycled, Upcycled at The Village Art Show

The Village, a non-profit promoting the sharing of art and culture, and also a spin off on Northwest Share, is holding its first ever art show this Saturday, August 15 from 2 to 6 pm at 4144 SE 60th Ave, next to Coffee Lovers.



Because we live so close, Jonah and I thought it would be fun to participate in this free community event, meet a few artists and art lovers (as well as coffee lovers, right?) and share some of our newest creations.



I'll be offering a selection of one-of-a-kind embroidered patches that make use of fabric scraps and garage sale embroidery floss.





Jonah will be offering his practically famous DIY monster iron-ons, monster cards and a selection of his watercolor art.




Last but not least, my reusable cloth gift bags will be available for sale. They come in several sizes and all sorts of fun materials from sample upholstery to upcycled scraps from my grandma!
