New Colors

There is a common thread with most of my products...COLOR. While maintaining a consistent look and design aesthetic, most REDSTAR ink products are black and red.

But I have gotten numerous requests for customized goods in different colors so I have added a new color option to my top selling items. I am pleased to introduce to you brown and blue, now available at REDSTAR ink.

New Font

I have been wanting to make a font of my own handwriting for a long time. This post over at indiehandmade.com reminded me of that. So I visited handfont.com and voila!

Priorities

This is why I haven't posted anything in a while.

Being a mama is a full time job.

This is me and my beautiful three-year-old son, Bryton.

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.
