what i'm working on: eco wallets

happy friday, lovelies!

what a fun-filled week it’s been here @ the rikrak home. spring is in its glorious full bloom, little rikrak & i have been working on some fun papier-mâché projects, and we’re getting ready for a little bakesale we’re having soon (more on that later!)

and in rikrak world, it's been so lovely visiting with all of you, reading your wonderful blog comments and fun ideas! thanks so much!...

what have you been working on? for me, sewing-wise, i’ve been working on lots and lots of eco wallet orders of late. especially fun, i’ve had a fun flurry of fun brides ordering vintage eco wallets for their wedding attendants! isn’t that a fun idea? i love it. some folks are ordering a whole set of the same fabric, others are ordering individual fabrics chosen especially for each bridesmaid! so fun!

so, in honour, i’m now offering rikrak eco wallets in little bundles, at a special rate, for a limited time. now when you buy 3 wallets, you get the 4^th FREE. woohoo! and yay to all of those eco-forward weddings out there! (ps: by the way, no need to be getting married to take advantage of this fun offer… all eco lovin’ wallet needers can save!).. you can find more details in my shop listings, or feel free to contact me!

……………………….

in other rikrak news, just a little reminder.. i’ll be drawing the winner of my rikrak gift certificate tonight @ 9pm … and there’s also still time to enter the mchen silkscreened tshirt giveaway! woohoo!

what are you working on lately? i’d love to hear! (and if you have a link, please leave it here! i'd love to see your projects!)

wishing you well with your projects!

and have a superdooper weekend.

what i'm working on: eco.art

oh gosh. i'm a lucky lady. thanks so much to all of the well-wishing nicies last week who encouraged me in my little new project shyness! what great cheerleaders you all are! i really appreciate it.

well.. here we go! i've launched the first few pieces, as part of my new eco. art series titled . the handmade week . : 35 original, one.of.a.kind vintage fabric & paper stitch collages.

this little project brings together some of my crazy loves in life: days + shapes + scraps = rikrak joy! first, i'll admit it: i'm in love with the days of the week. i've always been fascinated by days, and always felt as though each day of the week has it's own little family of characteristics, ways of being, and tones. ever feel like that? and i'm in love with geometric shapes... *sigh* ... and you might already know of my obsession with vintage fabrics scraps. this project is a reunion of those loves.

in . the handmade week ., there are 7 different repurposed colour-way families, incorporating meaningful & beautiful little scraps of some of my favourite vintage fabrics i've collected over the years. each collage is 3-dimensional, textured & layered. the works are stitched onto museum quality Arches Infinity papers. here's a glimpse @ monday & thursday:

above. from the family : mondays :

one thursday , from the rikrak series . a handmade week .

two mondays , from the rikrak series . a handmade week .

stay tuned for more!
and thanks again, nicies! special thanks to my wonderful wonderful brother for inspiring it from the beginning! isn't trying something new refreshing (and challenging!)?
