 Tweet! It’s our brand-spanking-new 12×12 inch Record Frame sized Indigo art print, “Honey You Know Where To Find Me”.

Happy little garden scene for happy little homes.

This print utilizes the Indigo print format with incredible detail & vibrant colors and archival inks and archival, eco-certified 100lb cover paper (see details below) we think you’ll love this addition too.

  • Size: Paper size – 12 x12 inches (30.5cm x 30.5 cm.) Image Size – 10×10 to allow plenty of room for a matte, if desired.
  • Paper: Mohawk Via Bright White, 100lb cover weight which is an archival, no-acid, American manufactured paper by Mohawk using Wind Power electricity. Produced with 30% post consumer recycled content. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Green Seal Certified.

Introducing “Bowl Stack” a kitchen-centric new giclee art print!

Happy Kitchen, Happy Home. We’re admitted foodies with a strong background of working in the restaurant industry, as well as just being big fans of fresh, home cooking with seasonal ingredients, the whole nine.

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in any house, and we believe it’s truly the heart of every home. So with that in mind, we turned a little sketch by Allison into a new, perfectly sized giclee art print to brighten any little hearth in your home!

Bowl Stack is inspired by our love of cooking at home and the neatness of a set of stacking bowls. Good cooking and happy kitchens are all about balance. Our favoritest-favorite set are a vintage Jadeite set that nest beautifully and have a translucent quality.

  • Size: Image area measures 6.5″ x 9.5″. Sized to be flexible so that you can use either frame the print as is with a nicely sized border, with an 11×14 sized frame, or you easily trim down the border area so that it can fit or 8.5 x 11 or 8×10 sized standard frame as well.

Full of colorful overprints and transparent layers, our “Bowl Stack” giclee art print is a marriage of all of those things in one brightly colored little bowl village just waiting to find a new home in your home!

  • Please note, this is a digital and giclee archival print (not a silkscreen print) of an original illustration by me, strawberryluna. Each print is hand titled and signed.

“Bowl Stack” is now available for purchase in our webshop here and also in our Etsy Shop here $20.

  • Additional photo below shows how this print might looked framed. (Sold unframed & without a matte.)
