Silkscreening on wood

This was a really cool project I got to work on this past week. My friend Megan is the design director at Conifer Research and they just moved locations. She needed someone to silkscreen these signs that are made from a reclaimed silver maple. The imagery is based on different type of conifer trees and were by Sasha from Conifer's design team. It was my first time screenprinting on wood, and there was definitely some trial and error involved, but in the end I think they turned out great!

The Spring show is tomorrow

This is a little last minute, but I still wanted to mention a great show that I will be participating in tomorrow to kick-off the show season. Its called "The Spring Show" and takes place up in Ravenswood in Chicago, from 10am - 5pm at Architectural Artifacts (a beautiful antique store/showcase with an event space as well).

I've been super busy printing lots of new designs for men, women, and babies and haven't had time to update my etsy shop, so you'll be seeing lots of new items if you can make it to the show tomorrow. For all of you out-of-towners the Etsy site (and a new Megan Lee Designs website) will be updated soon. I'm actually having a second photoshoot today to document the rest of my spring and summer line, thanks to John Caruso, an amazing photographer friend.



Thanks for all the support and for buying handmade!

Hey,
I just wanted to invite you to come out tomorrow to the Bottle in Chicago for some casual shopping, drinking, eating, and music. Spring is TRYING to get here, so instead of nesting at home, come on out, try an Empty Bottle bloody mary, and get yourself something pretty. I'll be hanging out by the photo booth.

I'll still have a lot of things on sale from last season, and a few new spring items that will be on display for the first time. (http://www.handmadechicago.com/)

If you're not in Chicago, my Etsy shop is constantly being updated and I'll be traveling the US this spring/summer to Austin, TX, Brooklyn and Indianapolis, along with the regular Chicago round-up.

ONE LAST THING - Become my Fan on Facebook and be eligible for Giveaways, Exclusive Sales, and more. If I reach 1000 fans by April 30, I will send a 20% off coupon to ALL of my facebook fans. So, tell your friends, and you will all win!

Thanks again for being awesome!

- Megan

Craft Show Prep

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, and now that I finally did I thought I'd share it with all of you crafters out there. I've probably got at least 50 craft shows under my belt at this point and finally made a comprehensive list of what to bring. Its in pdf format and has little checkboxes, room for you to fill in your own inventory/merchandise, etc. If I'm missing something major, email me and I'll update it. Enjoy!

Here's a little deal to hopefully brighten your most likely super snowy day.

Just a quick note about a couple Megan Lee Designs happenings. My Mid-Winter SALE just began today on Etsy, so hurry on over to pick up some great deals. As a bonus, since you are a mailing list subscriber, or former customer, you get a special offer. Buy 2 get 1 free on ALL (not just sale) merchandise for the month of February. To redeem just write the words BE MINE in the notes to seller section when checking out. The free item will be of equal or lesser value. Its a good deal, so get it while the gettin's good (quantities are limited - amount of free item will be refunded to your paypal account).

Other than that, I have a show this Saturday at the Empty Bottle's Handmade Market from noon-4, for some last minute Valentine's Day shopping. I'll have some sockdogs, some fun new mini-pillows, and a bunch of sale clothing to make room for my Spring line. See details below, or click here to RSVP through facebook. The show's there are fun and low-key - grab a Bloody Mary or some food from Bite and check out goods from 33 local artists.
