New Paper Vessels

During my walk in Blue Hills a few weeks back Penny discovered a wasp's nest delicately perched high in a tree. I was fascinated. The form, the delicate layers, and the way the wasps wove in and out. I wanted to know more. How do wasp make their nest, what materials do they use, etc.
So, today, Charles and I set out create delicate vessels inspired by the wasp's nest. We shaped wire mesh and layered paper dipped in glue. Pretty cool!

Little by little

Everyday progress is being made on the new space (and graphics...new banner!).

 

Happy New Year...We're Moving!!!!

It's a band new year and for MAKE.GOOD studio, a new beginning. I am so excited to announce that we will be moving into a wonderful new space!!!!
It's every designer's dream to have a studio (a.k.a. room) all her own, and this year my dream is coming true. Not only am I taking the whole operation to a 1000 sq ft warehouse loft, I also am welcoming an intern, Charles.
Great things are in our future, and I have every one of you to thank for your support.
So, here it is, what do you think!!!

That was the "before".

...and this is progress. I can't wait for the final reveal.

The Airstream Lounge

Oh, who doesn't love an Airstream? The classic lines, the stainless steel wrapped capsule, the history, it's all so nostalgic of that time in american history when road trips and the great outdoors were part of the american dream.
So when I was asked to design the interior of an Airstream for a duo of talented guys I jumped at the opportunity. We met, we discussed, we dreamt about what this iconic object could become. I can't reveal all the details just yet, but the design is well on it's way and I am beyond excited to see this happen!
Until then, here is a little taste of some of the materials we will be using

Vintage Army Blanket-Transformed

It all started with this gorgeous vintage wool army blanket. I found it at a local Salvation Army, deep in a bin filled with odds and ends. The smell of mothballs was so overwhelming I almost stopped looking. But, then, there at the bottom, I saw a sliver of gray/green and perfect triple stipe. I was in love and in a few minutes it was mine. Mothball smell be damned, I was taking this amazing piece of fabric back to the studio.

 I started cutting, stepping away, looking, and cutting some more and pretty soon I knew what it was going to become.

It was the perfect material for an oversized pillow featuring hand painted stencil. 42 21 71 5...can you guess what the numbers mean?

Find the Vintage Army Pillows at Room 68!

But the large pillow was just the beginning. This sturdy material also transformed into a few small lumbar pillows and a tote. I'd love this bag for storing hats and gloves in an entry, or blankets in the living room!

SOWA Holiday Market is December 10th
