Fresh Start

New products, new business name.

Little Ocean Summer 2012 is complete. A big thank you to my model Elizabeth, hair and make-up wiz Sarah, and photographer Stephanie!

I'm surprised that some of my kid's items are already selling out. I usually list things in my etsy shop as well as my big cartel, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep track since the fabric is limited, so they will just stay in one place for now. Besides selling out, I may have to stop taking clothing orders in a few weeks due to a studio move/house remodeling project.  So place your orders now!

Jewelry-making doesn't take up as much space, so I'm hoping I'll be able to keep it available and start working with a few new stockists this summer.

That's all in Little Ocean news.  Now I'm off to take my boy's to the park on the beautiful day!

Getting ready to list...

Well, I finally shot the women's clothing this weekend.  So this last category of my Summer 2012 collection will be up in the shop Tuesday afternoon.

Summer 2012 Kid's Collection

It's in my shop now!

I'm Still Alive!

The past 2 months I've been busy designing, making, and shooting my summer line.  I am releasing it in three parts. I just listed the jewelry in the shop, next week comes the kid's clothes, and then finally on June 6th the women's clothing will be up.

I've done a lot of fun stuff including more indigo dying, and I would have loved to share my processes here on the blog but I've just been too focused on my ideas and my work that I haven't been very interested in documenting anything.  Sometimes it's nice to just do my work and not be taking pictures all the time.  I am using Instagram a bit though, so follow me at littleocean to see a few things.







See the rest of the Summer Jewelry Collection here. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Hatchets

I mentioned fellow Milwaukee artist Cassandra Smith here a few months ago when I bought one of her sequined antlers. She now has new canvases for her bright color-blocking and geometric designs. They are in her Etsy shop.

Lisa Congdon

Lisa Congdon just opened an online shop with some original pieces. I got to see some of these in person at UWM's Union Gallery a couple months ago and they're really special.
