New lace goodies on Etsy!

Thanks Courtney of French Country Cottage for posting about us on your blog! She's hosting a giveaway for our new set of paper goods on Etsy. These lace inspired cards and mini notebooks are just in time for spring!

(part 5): Printing lace

One of my goals this year for the shop is to produce more goods to sell online on my Etsy shop. I think this would be a fun way to explore creating things I haven't yet found the right custom project for. So why not make it for myself?

Julia and I were brainstorming one day and were inspired by lace. She remembered seeing a friend print it before so we decided to re-visit and try for ourselves. So with a bit of lace, a lino block, some hot glue, and a couple of hours later on press, we made ourselves a collection of notecards and mini-notebooks!

Products coming soon on my Etsy store, stay tuned!

Love is a Battlefield

This print I made with Camille is now available on my Etsy.

Anniversary Print

Thanks to all who came out this past Saturday to celebrate Olive Route's 5th birthday! I had a wonderful time, hope you did too...

Bowerbird Craft & Design

My lovely and multi-talented intern, Stephanie Laursen, along with her friend Rachel recently launched an Etsy store which you should check out. They sell hand-crafted accessories such a hair-pieces and earrings--great for everyday wear or special occasions. They can also do custom orders which is great esp. for brides looking for that stand-out accent piece to complete their look :)

You can check out their Etsy here and more updates on their blog here. Thanks!

Family Portraits

Ok, I'm a couple of months late on this post. It's been ridiculously busy eversince the year began and I'm slowly playing catch-up on the blog...

For the holidays, I thought it would be fun to give personalized gifts to my family by having these fun portraits made for them! I ordered these from my friend Galina who can whip these up in a flash it seems :) I bombarded her with the orders at the same time and she was able to get them to me before Christmas.

They make fun presents and come with a matte-board frame. You can order custom portraits similar to these through her etsy site by clicking here. All she needs is a picture for reference.

Aren't these super cute?!

Idora Postcards on Etsy!

The postcard collabo with Idora Design is now available on my etsy! These blank cards are on limited quanity, will be available until they're all gone.

Off the Press: Idora Promo Postcards

Just finished printing these fun postcards for Christine of Idora Design. I love all her whimsy garden illustrations! Most landscape companies use photographs (which completely makes sense), but what I love about Christine is that she's trying out fun alternatives to the norm with her business marketing.

Off the Press: Eyeball Art Print

These were SUPER fun to print. It was love at first sight when I first laid eyes on these...er...eyeballs! LOL. I just knew they needed to get published somehow instead of existing as mere doodles on a sketchbook. Thanks Marcelo Viana for such a fun illustration! These are available as prints and notecards in limited quantity through my etsy.

On Press: Creepy Crawlies and Strange Eyeballs!

Had a fun time on press today printing all these goodies! Halloween coasters will be available on my etsy soon (hopefully by tomorrow) and super cool eyeball art print by Marcelo Viana. Stay tuned for more--eyeball has one more color to go...

Galya on Etsy!

One of my recent artists on press, portrait artist Galina Yakovenko, just opened an Etsy site for her custom work! Her one-of-a-kind pieces makes for great gift-giving and comes in easy to frame sizes.
