Knits and ink

Friends, its been a while, forgive me. its been super crazy around here.. mainly because..

Beebee is here! that's Iraqi for Grandma :)

beebee is the yarn queen. Although nowadays, her hands and fingers gave in to time and age. she still crochets and knits, but much less than before.

When i told her about Le Petit Sourire, she told me to get my yarn out, because she wants to help out.

ever since then, she has knitted multiple hats and knitted things, all of which I absolutely love. she has her own style, and i have my own. This is great because it adds diversity and fun to LPS's collection. im so grateful to her for her enthusiasm. and I get to hear the best stories of her youth while we sit and knit.

I've also started on some Art prints and greeting cards. Ive been using old fashioned ink with a nib pen. a process which i think is so beautiful because of its antiquity and the precise marks of the nib pen, im generally a messy artist, but i absolutely enjoy this hours on end.

work on the website is coming along, and I anticipate LPS to be ready for launch in august :).. maybe late august, haha :) life+ work..sigh. 

next week, im planning a sewing/screen printing extravaganza. purses, pencil cases, screen printed t shirts and the like.I'll post some pics as soon as i get things done. I already have a couple of ideas for tshirts inspired by 2 of my favorite people..

peace, guanabana juice and eggplants,

aya
