Cumulus congestus

This week we've been taking to the skies for inspiration. We've endured our fair share of bang-clang flash flooding thunderstorms. It's become some what of a habit to look up. Here are some images of lines and types of clouds. I hope to see them transformed into abstract patterns. Did I mention how much I love this time of year?

Lately my days have been consumed with pressing, slicing, taping and mounting fabric. I love sorting through such a wide range of oddities. To date I've evaded any blade-related injury(knock on wood).

Yay! and/or Neigh!

In the quest for website imagery we found ourselves at Stepping Stone Ranch in Baldwin, KS. In a Kansas field with 30 horses of all sizes and colors...I couldn't be happier. Hoping to use the images we collect to represent the vintage side of the Quince to Marmalade. A little abstract I guess? But when it all comes together.....PERFECTION.

Thanks to Eric Dobbins at Wonderfair Gallery in Lawrence, KS we had access to an awesome silk screening set up. Quinn, Jeromy, Opal and I got down to business and churned out about 500-600 prints of our logo. The finished products will be used to mount our vintage AND original textiles! Success.

I braved some seriously ferocious wind and made the trip to Fort Tildon at the tip of the Rockaways in Queens, NY. So amazing that a short train/bus ride and I am totally alone in the Nature. Fort Tildon is the site of an abandoned military base. The buildings are completely invisible from the road and the beach, so I had to do some investigating to find them. SO worth it. I felt like effing Indiana Jones. Yeeeaaahhhher. (oh and it smelled DELISH there! Flowers and sea air. so good)

Dreaml& at the b gallery

I'm really looking forward to the potential textile patterns these artists will generate. Jeromy Morris, Yuri Zupancic and Jeremy Rockwell had their opening reception at the b gallery last night. It'll be on display for the next month. Go check it out...
