new interview!

Cagliaripad ci ha intervistate. Andate a leggere!

CRUDO ROOMS

Abbiamo realizzato targhe e portachiavi per il nuovo B&B Crudo Rooms, situato nel centro di Cagliari. Ognuna delle sei stanze è caratterizzata da una pianta (presente nel balcone) e dal relativo colore. Reinterpretare a modo nostro la flora tipica della nostra isola è stata un'esperienza interessante e divertente.

What's cooking?

in the last weeks we have been away from the blog because of an  interesting as unexpected commission.

We finally finished and delivered it so, since it will be released from the final owner, we can not show much.

But prepare yourself for a colorful garden, all hand embroidered and finally sewed in small and big dimensions ::)

And if you're in Cagliari at the end of this month, we'll announce the event here or on our facebook page.

So: stay tuned!

your_initials_here

Since I were a child, I always appreciated customizations.

I still have some cutlery with my name engraved by my mother with a burning toothpick; some towels with a small label embroidered with my surname for camping, and so on.

 It's nice to have something really special, that says clearly that this specific item is yours, and just yours. It gives a touch of personality and a priceless value-added.

Because of that, when we receive custom orders, we really like to do that, and we work for a result that can be satisfying for both customer and us.

Here's some pictures of our last custom order, it was a pouch that flied to Sweden like this:

Monster Case

Sometimes your client are the best inspiration, mostly because since they like what you do, they can mix and combine different products a with different design in something unpredictable you never thought to create.

So I received this commission, the girl who asked me wanted a Cellphone Case - that I normally design with leaves - with a monocle monster - that I normally sew as a plush - attached on it.

She gave me trust and freedom and this is the result! 

You can order it now on our Etsy shop. Custom only!

And remember: till 31 January there's 15% off on ALL our products with the coupon WINTERSALES

Love is Weird • Valentine's Card

We're not really into Valentine.
Not in the conventional way, I mean..We're mostly into monsters, surrealism, iconographic accessories and tea cups ::)

So we developed an idea, to make something uncommon for this occasion, mixing our imaginary to this celebration.

A nice and funny card came up, with these two characters you will see around for a while.. soon a new update about these fellas!

Avaliable both printed and printable on our shop!

sunday at the flea market

Cagliari is a small city in the south of Sardinia, a not-so-small island in the middle of Mediterranean sea.

After travelling for a while, I decided to move back, and in these few months I'm discovering little treasuries around the island.

Today I went with my fiancé to this flea market, surprisingly it was one of the biggest I've ever seen, full of wonderful retro stuff, from sewing machines to vintage moto guzzi.
 

Here's some pictures of what I bought, let's start with my favourite one

 

An amazing diamonica, perfectly working, with his matching case

one of my favourite books of my teenage

a canister full of buttons

ceci c'est une pipe.

See you next sunday!

adopting a nano

Some days ago we did a cover for this lovely, old-fashioned (yes, we found out that a 2G device is officially "retro") ipod nano. It was age we didn't see one similar! And I personally think that this one is really nicer than the "clip" one. So we did this cover as a tribute for this old generation of mp3 players. he's even got games!!

Etsy Italia Team Shop for Charity - Vendita di beneficienza per le vittime del terremoto in Nord Italia

Maybe you already know what's going on in Italy from the second half of may:
a terrible serie of earthquakes are really damaging the northern area of Italy, destroying buildings, displacing people and making victims (17 people have died so far).

Just a couple of days ago (May 29), there has been another earthquake that caused new victims and the collapse of buildings already damaged from the previous one. The nightmare never seems to end.

The EtsyItaliaTeam wants to contribute by donating the beautiful creations of its members for sale in its charity shop. The proceeds will be donated to region of Emilia Romagna that can use them where necessary to help.

We decided to participate and our first item has already been sold; now our little pipe is avaliable for those of us that want to support earthquake victims buying handmade:

take a look at the shop and support us; we already sold more than 60 items but we can do more!

Mauerpark und Karnival - Berlin

Mauerpark is a public park located in Prenzlauerberg, one of the most fashionable and aesthetically pleasing district in Berlin . The name translates to "Wall Park", referring to its status as a former part of the Berlin Wall and its Death Strip. The park is one of the most popular places for young residents of Berlin, and in 2004 was established the Flea Market, that soon became a weekly appointment for locals and tourists. It became probably the most famous flea market of the city, and every sunday, with the sun on your head or the snow falling down, you can go there for a walk and find the most interesting, weird and old-fashioned things you can imagine. From vintage to handmade, passing by cycles, supplies and food from every corner of the world, there's really everything you can look for on a relaxing sunday. Just across the market there's a little amphitheater, where you can assist (or challenge!) at the "Bearpit Karaoke Show", a real Karaoke competition with a very interested audience. Over the years this tradition became a regular fixture in the park on Sunday afternoons, and it's possible to visit the shows from spring through to late autumn.

 

Some weeks ago we made our first attempt. The weather was a bit cold, but the sun was shining, the people appreciated our stuff and we found a lot of inspiring things as well! We'll repeat very very soon...In the meanwhile, some pictures of the Cultures Carnival (more infos about the event here)

Questi due saranno in esposizione e vendita domani 2 febbraio al tattoo studio Elegant Ink durante l'evento al quale saremo ospitate (qui la locandina); per ordinazioni personalizzate potete contattarci via facebook o mail.
