Just In!
A warm welcome to Marty May of Sacramento, California!
Many more designs in store! :D
Born in Florida, Marty has been on the move since she was 18. She formed her Press & Stitchery during her years in LA to compensate for her fruitless day job. It was an instant hit! Now her Etsy shop is her primary means of income, while boutiques around the country bring her independent line of handmade messenger bags and wallets to the hearts of so many excited souls.
Now residing in Northern California, Marty lives an adventurous life of backpacking, cycling, music and merrymaking in her free time away from her sewing machine, silk screen press and giant fabric cubbies. All of her goods begin as brainwaves and are brought to life by her two capable hands.

Just In!
Just in! Amazing prints and cards by Brooke Weeber of Portland, Oregon!
Perfect for the love in your life!
Brooke is an illustrator who brings whimsical, nature-based scenes to life. Her complex pieces combine animals with instruments, ribbons with clouds and always feature her iconic subtle color palate and playful aesthetic.
Brooke finds her inspiration from various natural landscapes as well as Greek and Native American culture. She started drawing when she was a young thing, but started focusing on it in high school and later in college. After receiving her BFA in painting from the University of Oregon in 2003, Brooke flew her native Northwest for the big city, where she focused on her other passion - professional baking. She received a degree in Professional Pastry Baking at the French Culinary Institute of New York in 2005 and worked as a high-end cake decorator immediately.
Craving more trees and more drawing space, Brooke packed up her apartment and re-rooted herself in Portland in 2009. She's been cranking out pieces ever since and has had shows locally at Mississippi Studios, the Farm, and Tribute Gallery. She's pleased as punch to be on her bike, thinking of pictures and what kind of cake to make for her next friend's birthday.
Stop in and see her stuff soon!

Ohio Valley Creative Energy
Happy sleepytimes, all! Its late, but we are so stoked on this amazing cause we just had to share immediately!
Ohio Valley Creative Energy is a non-profit organization that is proposing an Arts & Education center to be built, and sustained by converted energy from the Clark-Floyd landfill in Southern Indiana. If this center is constructed, it will be the first community & commercial landfill gas development partnership in the US!
So we can take our waste...and recycle it, to make art! This is blowing our minds with excitement! We are hopping on board now in anyway we can to support- you should too!
The mission of Ohio Valley Creative Energy is to educate the public about sustainability through the creation of art and the exploration of innovative design.
About The OVCE Arts Center
The proposed OVCE Sustainable Arts & Education Center will be located near the Clark-Floyd landfill in Southern Indiana and will be powered by its excess methane. This renewable energy source, along with other alternative energies, will initially be used to power clay, glass, and metal studios and eventually will grow to include a gallery, a greenhouse, and an education center.
OVCE has partnered with the Clark County Commissioners and Hoosier Energy to develop the first community & commercial landfill gas development partnership in the US at the Clark-Floyd Landfill. Hoosier Energy´s 2 MW electricity generation project provides “green’ energy for over 1200 Southern Indiana homes.
Their Vision is to transform the local ecology of the landfill through an eco-vention, or an artist initiated project that will involve the entire community in turning a landfill into a resource for our community. In doing this, they hope to inspire each visitor to consider and recognize their individual ability to have a positive impact on the earth, in our community, and the health and well being of all.
