Faux fur studies and photography by Craftcourse.

Earlier this summer, the Emily half of Craftcourse styled and co-hosted a baby shower for the Mandy half of Craftcourse. After a feature on Inspired by This, we're sharing tons more photos of the party - a handmade affair and a true collaborative effort with our local friends at Vintage Sparkle and Love + Lion.

Sometimes its fun to just make for the sake of making. Ages ago, we did just that when we made this mobile using a set of Handy Dandy Productions' mobile frames. Even though there was no real purpose to it, it's still one of our favorite little projects from the whole year! Can you imagine a whole party planned around this 'theme'? It would be so so good.

Okay. We say this every time, but this is absolutely one of our favorite projects to date. We recently teamed up with Jessica from Pine Street Makery to bring her personality and sense of style to her product photos. Jessica makes screen-printed tea towels, prints, notepads, tote bags, and more (all available in her Etsy shop!). She loves color and pattern, a little quirk, and some classic kitsch. 

We had a single sit-down with Jessica, and we knew just the concepts we wanted to bring to this shoot. In fact, we ultimately went with two totally different concepts that we were able to bring together for a few of the shots.

Concept one: The 50s housewife with a serious case of ennui - pairing our 'model' with handmade paper food and cigarette props. Concept two: Shapes and color and pattern.

Now, enjoy these images shot by Betsy Limbaugh and be sure to stop by Pine Street Makery!
