Since we mix our own colors, we sometimes get swirly kitties in between batches of colors… like moving from a batch of orange crayons to red. They’re fairly popular when we sell them on weekends at Portland Saturday Market so I haven’t had time to list and sell any on etsy.
Behind them are some peace sign crayons too… another item yet to be listed on our shop…
What do you think of the swirlies and peace sign crayons? Any color combos or particular things you’d like to see?
This was designed with older kids in mind. The pointy tip of the drop function like a pencil tips for detailed coloring and drawing. We’re still working out the kinks and it probably won’t be available for at least a couple more weeks. The one above is one of our prototypes. He still needs a face and maybe a *little* shorter and thicker tip to prevent breakage from heavy duty crayon users. I also still have to figure out how to package these guys so that their tips stay protected during transportation. Hmmm
What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.
Continuing with our Lovely Package Exchange theme… This is our package swap from Elizabeth of ThereisBeautiful
Here is what we sent her:
The Exchange has come and gone. Here are the photos from the swap! We had 2 lovely partners and will make a post for each partner… here is Nicole & Jason of Gocco Boom!
Here are the packages we sent them…
Ben and I will be moving to Portland, Oregon next month- and what better way to break into our new home than with mail. I have always loved the feeling of receiving a package addressed to me. I’m not talking about spam/junk mail, but a beautiful and thoughtfully put together package from another human being. That said, Ben and I just signed up for our first package exchange!
(Collage by: oh, hello friend) 1. Pretty packages for clients 
, 2. 3/365 ~ pretty packages, 3. magnets, 4. stamps and wrap, 5. packing., 6. Untitled, 7. Red + White Baker’s Twine – sample, 8. Black & white lucky parcel sent, 9. happytape: japanese masking tape package gift wrap
The emphasis on the exchange is on packaging- how the item looks when you first receive it in the mail- hence the inspiration collage. What a lovely idea by oh, hello friend. I really can’t wait to get our exchange partners (we signed up for 2) and get started on preparing the packages.
If you are interested, the sign up deadline is Monday, July 27, and partners will be assigned the following day on Tuesday, July 28.
So far there are over 170 participants! Photos of all the packages will be available to be viewed on the group’s FlickR Lovely Package.
I'm a mommy of one and life partner with an amazing artist. We live in Portland, Oregon, originally from SF Bay, San Diego, and Hawaii. This blog is a pseudo book about our tales in our family business, Kitty Baby Love. We'll include some family-oriented craft tutorials and gift guides with independent artists time to time. My intention is to share something positive and honest with you.
