Well...

I took a small break to reevaluate my plan for sewing only for tattoos and now I am back!
A total of five new wallets for the Summer collection will be up by Tuesday! I am also taking part in a Yard and Art Sale at the end of July... so I am very excited to be back to sewing.

After reevaluting things I decided to stay true to what I do. I tried incorporating new things for the Spring line and they did not go over as well as I had hoped. I removed them from the site because, to be honest I was slightly disappointed. I did not want that did not break my spirit. I still have tattoos to get and sewing to do! A little blip isn't going to stop me now!

I'll check in after the upload on friday.

Much love,

NEW TATTOO!!

On 4/17, I was lucky enough to get the latest tattoo!



I want to say thank you to all of you who have supported this project! This would not have been possible without you!

You all rock my world!

Check back soon for the summer roll out, which will be coming up in the next month!
Much love,

Almost go time!

I feel like the anticipation on this tattoo has been building for far too long! Alas, Saturday at 6:30 p.m. I be in Cerny's trusted hands and ready to rock! I will post pictures on the following Monday- so come back to look on the 19th!

Thanks again friends!!

The very excited Em

Consult!!

I'm currently scheduled for a consultation with none other than the awesome Cerny at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis (steadytattoo.com). I'm very excited about this!! Cerny has done a lot of work for many of my friends and all of what I have seen of his other work has turned out great. Having a respectable artist do your work is by far the most important thing to me. I'm hoping to do more work with him in the future as well, so having this appointment is a big step to what will hopefully be a great work relationship...

I hope to get the ball rolling on the Spring/Summer collection. Yet, again I'm waiting for supplies... but I do have a few new designs coming down quite well.

Hope you are all doing wonderful!
Much love,
Em

Summer Binge

I'm getting far too excited waiting on my first consultation for the next tattoo!!!

So for the time being I have ordered some gorgeous fabric and brand new supplies for the Summer collection! There will be tons of new products... and I can not wait for it to arrive so I can start sewing!

Also I had a thought the other day of entering a contest on etsy.com for someone to design the following tattoo!


Much love,
Em

end goals and next tattoo

I just wanted to let you all know that today I sold 4 wallets and recieved a nice donation towards the next tattoo! Right now the next tattoo fund is at $87.02. I will be scoping out a few places while I am on vacation to get some pricing, and I'm hoping to come back with something to show off.

So as promised a little insight into the next tattoo.

What I have envisioned is a soft outline of an owl feather drifting down my shoulder blade. There has always been something fascinating to me about seeing feathers drifting down the old country roads I use to live on. They seemed so free and able to just drift off where they wanted until they would find the perfect place to rest. I believe I picked the owl feather intensionally due to the fact that among the people we are visiting, one is my oldest friend from Minneapolis. She has had this slight obsession with owls. So in the end I thought a nice mix of the two would almost be a tribute to the freedom to roam where life takes you without an end to the bonds that certain relationships have on your life.

I'm hopeful that Portland has some decently priced tattoo artists who rock out some great artwork... we'll have to see!

***UPDATE: Portland became too busy of a trip for tattooing. I am setting up an appointment soon for a consultation.

In the mean time I'd like to thank all of you who have supported this project. There will be much more to get soon and more rambles from me before then!

Much love,

Em
