Christmas in July
Posted on June 17th, 2010 3 commentsThis may sound crazy but every time I get a new design project started it’s like waiting for Santa on Christmas. With the artist that we are currently working with it’s even harder than that to wait. Stephanie Corfee is amazing! Don’t believe me check her out, Stephanie Corfee’s site http://stephaniecorfee.com/. I have found myself lost for over an hour reading her blog and looking at her etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/stephaniecorfee. I know I sound a little obsessed, maybe I am.
Can you see why??? These are the happiest feet I’ve ever seen!Stephanie is the creator of “Grow”
I am so fortunate to have Stephanie as part of the Green as Wee Grow artists. I actually find myself giddy thinking about the endless possibilities that lie ahead when working with Stephanie. She has a free spirited style that makes me smile. I think what first drew me to Stephanie was the color of her pieces, it’s almost like they are giving off light. We have two of her pieces hanging in our house, one in my room and one in my daughters. I find it impossible to look at these pictures and not have a smile on my face.
With how crazy this world is anything that can make me smile when looking at it is worth being around. Babies & toddlers have that same effect on me. There’s something about the chubby little legs and arms, the toothless grins and the laugh that form the most irresistible little people! Being around these little crazy beings always makes me feel hopeful.
So what could possibly be better than to have Stephanies art work on clothing for these adorable little people, I’m guessing not much! We are in the works to have at least 3 new Stephanie designs added to our Green as Wee Grow collection!
Can you say excited, like waiting for Santa!
This is one of my favorites, how can your day be anything but great with this as one of the first things you see! Thank you Stephanie for sharing your many talents with the world! -
Art with a Cause
Posted on October 20th, 2009 1 commentI recently stumbled across an amazing artist, I was lucky enough to find her through one of the blogs I visit www.Scoutiegirl.com. I fell in love with all her designs immediately. I emailed her to find out if she would be interested in working with me on some new art work I’d been thinking about. Giddy with excitement doesn’t describe how I felt when I got a response back that she would be interested in working together.
Not only is Stephanie a spectacular artist, she is an amazing person. She is working with a local venue to put on a show with a portion of the proceeds going to the children’s charity The Terry Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation, http://www.tllccf.org. Stephanie’s art will be on display all November long with a special piece of art being created on site on November 6th at 6pm. Stephanie is located in Philadelphia and the show will take place at Milk Boy Coffee, http://milkboycoffee.com/home/. Also if your not in the area but would like to purchase some art and have part of the proceeds go to charity you can check out Stephanie’s Etsy shop www.stephaniecorfee.etsy.com.
Here are a few pieces from Stephanies Etsy shop.
I am excited to say that Stephanie’s Create, Fly, Grow, Dream will be among the first of the prints that we will be doing together. If you love the prints as much as I do and would like to own one on a shirt, you will start to see them in our store beginning early November or late October.If you would like to find out more about Stephanie and her art please check out her blog at www.stephaniecorfee.blogspot.com
I will post about Stephanie’s charity event as it gets closer but please spread the word about this amazing talented artist and her generous heart!
