Sawtooth Soldiers Logo Design

I've had the pleasure of being asked to do some logo designs for a friend who with 3 others is ambitiously planning to climb Mt. McKinley in  a week! They are climbing the peak to raise awareness and support for the Wounded Warrior Project as well and you can check out their plan and itinerary here.

The boys already knew that their name for this project was the Sawtooth Soldiers with a purpose statement/ tagline of awareness, brotherhood and adventure. They also already knew that they wanted to incorporate a whip saw into the logo as well as the mountain. I came up with a couple of examples, and color may still need to be fine-tuned but this is that (almost) finished product.

Hopefully you can start looking for this in a plethora of promotional items such as t-shirts! It's a pretty fun logo - you have to admit.

Good luck boys!

Baby Bonanza part II

So the package has arrived safely with the hopefully very soon to be new parents and I am now able to post pics of the very fun baby gifts I made for them. I love being able to personalize gifts like this especially for 2 such deserving and fun people! Leslie and my husband go back and forth with Anchorman quotes all the time so that of course had to be included in the designs. Todd was a little nervous when he first found out they were pregnant so in order to aid him and eliminate confusion I included the "this side up" shirt, just in case. So here's the photos of the work - it's all fabric paint on the shirts with hand made custom stencils.

And on a completely separate note, except for the mom thing these two have in common I wanted to post this super fun video/ song from pogomix: Comprising my mother's voice and the sounds of her garden, this video is my first Pogo mix of the real world. I hope I've done my mother justice in capturing her passion. Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day!

So I'm hoping that my mothers won't see this before Sunday, I'm also hoping that the mail gets them their cards in time. Again, I decided I wanted to make a one-of-a-kind hand cut paper card for my mom and my mother in law. I wish I had decided on a darker yellow for this particular card but it is what it is and I'm learning as I go so hopefully next time will be even better. In the meantime to all you mothers out there: I am nothing but amazed by what you have accomplished, for all the little things that go unnoticed by almost everyone but that make the hugest difference in your child's life. Thanks for all that you do, even when it is not appreciated or noticed. Cheers to you moms!

Baby bonanza

OK, so I've been working on some baby gifts for a friend that I was able to finish up today but can't post yet because she needs to get the package first. I've been having a lot of fun making gifts for friends and family lately. I like staying busy and coming up with unique gifts. I'm also hoping to be inspired to create such wonderful things I'll just have to start selling them on Etsy or maybe even creating a website to sell my own products. I'm so incredibly excited about these cute little gifties I had to post just a little something so here's the one-of-a-kind hand cut congratulations card that I think Leslie won't mind seeing in advance. Please excuse the poor photography, my actual camera is still in the shop so the phone will have to suffice for now. Come soon little Addison so that we can meet you!

Pictures anyone?

My most recent projects for We're No Angel's Soap Co. have been to create souvenir photo frames for this summer's fun at Denali Park! You can now have your very own naughty negative inserted into one of these 2 frames as a keepsake of your trip and perhaps the freeing of your own inner goodtime guy or gal!
