Updates and what's happening in March!

We are signed up for Western Canada Fashion Week on March 28. Doors open at 7 pm, with the show to follow at 8 pm at the TransAlta Arts Barn in Edmonton.

For this show, we are writing a short story inspired by several Celtic myths we love. Shortly before the show, we will share a summary of the story, and later this year the full story to go along with all the runway photos. We decided to do this instead of a traditional collection since many of our pieces are so different from each other. Each signature piece we make is usually based on a character we created or on a story that includes that character.

Recently, we were published in the January edition of Gilded Magazine out of California. This photoshoot was also based on a short story we wrote.

We were lucky enough to meet a kindred spirit who really understands the stories and inspiration behind our pieces. The photographer, Breanne Marie Photography, captured the storyline beautifully through her photos. She has been amazing to collaborate with and you can check out more of her beautiful work here.

We will do a full blog post with the story and all the photos from the shoot soon! But for now below is one that we love of model Jen Ferguson.

We are also very fortunate to have my sister, Ashley, as part of our team. We will be creating a line of complementary (to our items) stencils for airbrushing makeup by this summer!!

We were also featured in a local print and digital magazine, T8N, with a photo essay. It includes never before seen shots of our studio, inspirations, quick drawings, and watercolour tests of various pieces we make. We asked one of our favourite models, Carra Pischke, to join us for the shoot.

The interview was done by the editor, Carmen, and the photo essay portion was done by Brenda Lakeman out of St. Albert. For anyone interested in seeing a bit of our studio and learning more about the makers behind these items, the March edition of T8N Magazine is available on their website. For those who live in Edmonton or St. Albert, the magazine is available at dozens of locations free of charge for pickup. A full list of locations can be found on their website.

Here is a link to the feature, with the full print version at the bottom.T8N March Issue

Lastly we recently changed the pricing on our website to US dollars to be included on social media like “Pinterest.” This now makes all our items pinable! For our Canadian customers this just means you will see the Canadian amount on your bill. If you want to purchase in Canadian dollars you can also do that through our Etsy shop!
