Unique LA is happening this weekend everyone!!

It's that time of year, the Unique LA Spring show, come on out and see the dots in person! Check out the website for more info: HERE.

Mother's Day Sale on Etsy starts today!

Mother's Day is coming up in about a month and you know I think your Mom would love something special and one of a kind! I'm also pretty sure it was my own Mom's dot doodling I saw as a kid that ended up as my subconscious inspiration for painting dots today. So in celebration of this, head over to my Etsy Shop, enter code THANKSMOM at checkout, and you'll receive a 15% discount on the lovely dotted bowls.

The sale will go until Mother's Day, May 12th. And If you live in Los Angeles bring your mom to Unique LA that same weekend and come say hello to me and the dots.

New Dot Drinking Glass Line now available on Etsy!

I'm so happy to announce my new line of drinking glasses. I've been sitting on this idea for a long time and have finally been able to make what's been swirling around in my dreams. So check it out my friends! Gold dots. Frosted Glass. Happiness with every sip.

Purchase the line on Etsy!

Upcoming Craft Fairs : See the dots in person in LA and NYC!

It's time to start travelling the craft fair circuit! First up is Unique LA here in Los Angeles in May and then The Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn in June. That's how I like to do things, one coast and then the other. I'm excited to get the dots back in front of your faces and they can't wait to see you too!

// Unique LA // Los Angeles, CA // California Market Center // May 11 + 12 //

// The Renegade Craft Fair // Brooklyn, NY // East River State Park // June 22 + 23 //

My Etsy store is back open my friends.

I am officially back from vacation on Etsy! I started to fill up my shop today and I have a ton more to post. Plus soon my new drinking glasses will be available too! I just got a whole case full of them and I'm excited to put lots of gold dots on them.

I'm also going with a cleaner more wood based look this year and I'm very excited. It means more fun staining for me! Yay!

New retail store for the dots: Asrai Garden in Chicago

I am pleased to introduce you to the newest store selling the dots! Asrai garden is a beautiful flower and boutique shop in the Wicker Park/Bucktown area of Chicago. I stopped in there last September when I was in town for the Renegade Craft Fair and I'm so glad that this has finally come together! I'm sending their first shipment out today and only the first of many.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to retail stores. It's hard for me to take on many orders just because of how much time it takes me to paint. But finding stores that are styled so well and with great people working there, make me so happy and willing to get them all the dots they want. This is months in the making and totally worth it.

Yes I think the bowls will fit in quite nicely.

My Etsy store will be back open next week!

I'm prepping some new backgrounds so the bowls and drinking glasses can look even cooler than they already do!

New dot glass products coming out this spring!

Now you know I love the wooden bowls with all my heart but how about a fully functional and usable dotted product? I am pleased to be welcoming hand-painted drinking glasses this spring! Right now I'm working out my specific patterns and styles. Think mid century. Think gold. Think brass. Think splashes of bright color and frosted white. And on top of all that, they will be completely food safe, detergent safe, and even dishwasher safe. I guess the only thing they won't be able to fight is gravity, but we all deal with that pretty ok on a day to day basis.

Hand-Painted Poster of the National Parks of America

I've always wanted a big print of the USA marking where all the National Parks are. Instead of buying one right now I realized I had lots of paint and paper and some free time, so why not make one myself!

I love how it turned out!!

The dots have been spotted on DesignLoveFest today.

I made a whole bunch of little notebooks (the most in one sitting I've ever done: 30+) for DesignLoveFest's Blogshop a couple months ago. They've done a great blog post today about the event and you can see (a bit out of focus) my favorite little notebooks up there. Thanks guys!

Full post HERE. Looks like they had loads of fun.
