This fall I began sharing a studio with Eyelike Design~ Sarah Presson & Kirby Doss’s design studio. It has been a real treat being in this dynamic environment. This past weekend 736 Cherico in East Austin came alive with a group of ten artists coming together to present their work for E.A.S.T. (East Austin Studio Tour) . It was a great opportunity for me to set up shop and share my work.
I started to think of it as The Table Top Pop Up Shop, for I am primarily featuring paintings on paper from the Annie Taylor archives in the form of placemats sold as a set with beautiful coordinating cloth napkins.
Some of you have seen these designs before but in the spirit of collaboration
I decided to work with a very close kindred spirit & special friend 😉 and pair the placemats with cloth napkins! The napkins are amazing and we began to think of them as magical origami~ for any way you fold them they are a bit different and quite delightful… playing on color & pattern in the most wonderful of ways.
Finally getting out of my tiny home and joining other creative souls has been very healthy and inspiring. An on-going and project dear to my heart has been seeing the branding that I created for Jesse Griffiths and Tamara Mayfield’s supper club, catering business, and farmers’ market stand blossom into a beautiful restaurant and fine butcher shop on Manor Road this fall.
Little Mule Studio lead the charge using the existing logo for the restaurant. A cast of characters (fauna & flora) has been created to be used for various packaging and signage, etc. for the restaurant. From those characters summer and fall placemats (black and white for kids to color, and a laminated color version for messy eaters (babies) was created.
For the holidays a series of five images were made (collaborated with Sarah Presson) into notecards. These are for sale at Dai Due and Annie’s Omnium at E.A.S.T. There are five different designs per pack, $20.00.
We are fortunate to live amongst such a creative group of friends who all seem to be hitting their stride. I mentioned Jesse and Tamara, Sarah and Kirby, and from there the list goes on! When I arrived at Eye Like Design Studio Farm House Delivery was also officing there. Every Tuesday a bushel would be photographed for their weekly email. This and all of our other farmer, chef, gardener, foodie friends have inspired a series of collages. The other hat I wear is my partnership with JBird & Company, a landscape design & build firm. Jason is passionate about citrus trees and is spreading them all around Austin.
Speaking of collage… crisp snap shirts! I was thinking that I have lived in Texas for 15+ years and never really created honoring this interesting place. I call it Tucked In Texas~ a western shirt with Hill Country birds and wildflowers coming out of the pocket. I am selling these prints for $30 each. They are a pair but do not need to be sold as such. The right has the painted bunting and the left has the quail.
On the table top are more placemats and some gift tags titled ‘I see Peacocks at Mayfield Park’, my little Theodore’s opening line to everyone he meets.
Tag Sale!
Punch & Color & Tie-up with string…
tags for packages, place cards, ornaments, cookie tins, or jam jars…
$3 – $12
all a little bit different and quite fun.
Our family sings this sweet blessing at meal time~ first sung at Oliver’s nursery school. I thought it would be fun to make a little poster of it. My husband Jason turned 40 last week and I dedicate this to him, my little boys, and all of our sweet toddler friends in our lives right now. This poster is free with a purchase of a placemat &napkin set. I can hand color in the hair to suit your friends or family!
Jason has been working hard for E.A.S.T. as well and my next blog entry will be featuring his stone work. Here are some delightful bamboo cups that he made~ perfect for sake, tea, water, flowers, pencils… They are $12 each and all quite unique. Some of them are carved with jasmine flowers and stripes and waves. They are sanded and oiled and feel really good in your hand. They are displayed here with my citrus series of placemats with some really cheerful napkins in a symphony of pink, green, and yellow.
One, Two, some Art for You~ these are flat cards, two designs per package…
a fun way to share my art.
$7.00 a set~
Towards the back of the table one can see some bean cans covered in green wrapping paper. I have been having fun getting some of my images into repeat pattern via Spoonflower. I thought it would be fun to cover some big cans for paperwhites, gifts, or cookies! Week II at E.A.S.T. one might find a further exploration of paper covered bean cans. The green holiday placemat & napkin series is really wonderful! I think it would be awesome if someone went home with all 24 (selling them as 3 groups of 8)… what a marvelous table it would make for a big holiday party. The green is so cheerful you could really use is all year ’round.
So many bean cans bursting with paperwhites! What a heavenly scent and fresh white blossoms. What is an Annie’s Omnium holiday art sale without silver cans full of paperwhites?!
