Hippo Birthday Card


Hippo Birthday Card, originally uploaded by krakencrafts.

I went to my friend's daughter's first birthday party this weekend. It was the nicest first birthday party I've ever been to. Well actually it was probably the only first birthday party I've ever been to besides my own. But it was pretty fancy for any birthday.

I made her a veronica the hippo birthday card inspired by the incredible Roger Duvoisin book I got at an estate sale the other day.

New screen printed lobster dishtowels with the lobster claw oven mitts that I made for Nate's Santa Claws Halloween outfit from last year.

Iorek Byrnison Shirt

Nate and I both recently read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman and became obsessed with it. I know the Golden Compass movie was supposed to be horrible (I still haven't seen it) but the books are amazing. They are like a more mature, darker version of Harry Potter. Our favorite character was Iorek Byrnison the king of the armored bears. I made this shirt for Nate and I made a matching one for myself. We are such dorks.

Maryland Blue Crab Dishtowel

A custom order for Maryland blue crab dishtowels, printed in red. At some point I'll print some of these in blue as well.

Inspired by the logo on my Tony's Fish Market plate I made this print of a seagull fisherman.

Twins in Desert Bird Onesies

I forgot to post this picture of my friend from work's twins in the onesies I screen printed for her baby shower.

They are too cute.

Flickr

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing. I finally figured out how to transfer my flickr pictures directly to my blog. Now I really should be posting more often.
