Sweet Molasses

I am excited to begin offering my wine bags and coasters through a new Los Angeles based online retailer, Sweet Molasses. They are specializing in artist-made home accessories, centered around the kitchen and cooking. Currently they are building their inventory and website--stay tuned!

New Products!

I've been busy working on some new items that will debut at a holiday sale starting tomorrow (more info on that to follow).  Using scrap fabric and leather, I've developed a coaster set, and a leather 'tray'.  Both products offer a bit of protection for your fine furniture.  

The coasters are leather on one side and wool on the other which you can flip depending on what surface you use them on: fabric goes down for wood; leather goes down for metal, glass or stone. 

The leather tray isn't for carrying, but for resting.  It's a place to throw your keys, put your sunglasses, wallet or coffee, without worrying about damaging the table surface.  It's reversible and available in one or two-tone.

More wine bags

'Tis the season for gatherings and gift giving, so naturally I'm making more wine bags.  They are all limited run, made of remnant fabric and leather, and really make the perfect host/ hostess gift--with a bottle of wine in it of course!  

Below are some process shots, an image of some new colors I'm offering, and how a bottle looks all dressed up in one of these.  

They are available here:
Haymaker and SMALL

Robbins' Power Plant

I was part of a lucky group who toured the Robbins' Power Plant on the far south side of Chicago last weekend.  It's a former waste incinerator that will now put power into the grid by burning exclusively wood.  The majority of this clean burning 'fuel' will be supplied by offcuts from the construction and manufacturing industries, retired pallets and shipping crates.  Ed Kalebich, Chief Operating Officer, and Bo, Site Supervisor, were hosts with the most.
