Front Page

So much has been happening. July was an insane month at REDSTAR ink. Despite being sick, I participated in a few fairs, including the Renegade Craft Fair (photos coming soon) and have been working on new products for the fall. So busy, but so fun.

And today, I was featured on the front page of Etsy in this fabulous treasury put together by Shawnee at My Fair Ladee.

How cool is that?

Oil Spill Response Market

Over at Poppytalk Handmade this month, they are having an online virtual fundraiser called the "Oil Spill Response Market".

In response to the devastation from the BP oil spill in the Gulf and continuing crisis, 70 artists, designers, and vintage shop owners are donating one item from their shop. Once sold, they will be donating the proceeds to help the vulnerable communities threatened by the oil spill through Oxfam America who has a special online donation section.

REDSTAR ink is proud to be donating the Summer of Love photo album which can be ordered here...and I will be throwing in lots of extras!

This is the oil spill item that I purchased. It is a limited edition print by Matte Stephens. I am so excited to add this one to the gallery!

Here Comes the Sun!

The Poppytalk Handmade summer-themed (virtual market) has launched. As always, Poppytalk has put together "a fun market, and how can it not be with summer just around the corner and all that swimming, camping, surfing, picnicking, gardening swinging, mmmmmmm....."

This is just a peek of the market. Click here to see more!"

Renegade

I am so excited that REDSTAR ink will be a part of the 2nd Annual Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles. I will be partnering up with my dear friend and amazing artist, Andrew King. He is so much fun, I couldn't have picked a better person to do this with. There is lots to do to get ready for the big event, but I am really looking forward to meeting other indie artists.

Summer of Love

This summer, REDSTAR ink has a lot of exciting things happening. In anticipation of upcoming art fairs and new markets, I have been working on some new merchandise. Here are some new photo albums that I just released...just in time for summer. What are your big summer plans?

Sugar Kisses

A lovely little shop has just opened in the Kensington area of San Diego featuring fabulous women's accessories, gifts, body, and baby products. The Sugar Kiss Boutique features local designers from the San Diego area.

I have had the pleasure of working with the owner of Sugar Kiss, Quincy (pictured above), who aims to "unite amazingly talented people together to form friendships, collaborations, and networking opportunities and feature these designers in a boutique that caters to the handmade, unique, and locally sourced and pair them with national and international lines that compliment the look and feel of the boutique."

Oh, did I mention that REDSTAR ink products are sold here? Another great thing about Quincy's shop is her dedication to finding eco-friendly goods. If you live in the San Diego area, you must cruise by her shop. It is my number one stop whenever I have a gift to buy.

Where the Surf Meets the Turf

 

 

 

I had a lovely time at the Surfrider Art Gala this evening. And Jason Mraz was gracious enough to snap a photo with me...love him!
