We are inspired by the world around us and love to showcase new and exciting artist, designers and crafters and our guest designer series is a great way to inspire our Crew as well as each one of you to try something different, show off a new style or help you think outside of your creative box, so from time to time we like to invite crafters to be our Guest Designer/Blogger for a month to challenge us to see things in a different way and so that we may learn more about our products through the eyes of a new designer. This month we have invited Sanna Friedner aka SannArt. DIY crafts is all the rage these days and we love that so many of our basic products are perfect for simple and clever crafty projects.

Sanna says ” I applied gesso on to the apron on the spots I was concidering painting on. After drying I sketched the face and painted it with acrylics. I wrote the big letters with Montana coversall dripstick and the smaller letters with a ordinary marker. Stencils, stains and ink sprays was used to create different patternes on the pockets.
