Screws for you
Posted by Her on May 25, 2010 
We love to make things.
In fact, simply put: it’s what We do. Designing, building, creating–these are a few of our favorite things. And, as it turns out, often We’re engaging in our our other favorite activity when We’re doing it: slurping wine. (Unless Xacto knives or band saws are involved, then We stay off the sauce.) We also spend a lot of time brainstorming and ideating about what to make next and how to combine our two loves (wine and design). This blog is a direct result…hand screen printed Swirl Smell Slurp corkscrew t-shirts and cards will be another one (coming soon).
And today I came up with another idea: a handmade mosaic poster.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on an art project which involves cutting up pages of W magazine and gluing them back together. I realize this sounds fairly ridiculous, both in terms of process and end product, but the project has been incredibly fun and fulfilling. I’ve created four 12″ x 16″ panels so far and have three more to go (“b,” “about,” and “it seems” ). The unfinished series is resting on my mantle. The devil is in the details…the images are created from small strips of cut up pages. Up close the mosaic is almost impossible to not touch.
Today I realized how fun it would be to incorporate the corkscrew of our logo into a panel. I’ve started the cutting and pasting. And…okay, I’m drinking a glass of wine. Broke-open the box of Big House Red 2008. Tasty.

Wow, your craftiness is going (whoosh) right over my head
It looks awesome though! I love seeing what people can do, sadly I simply can’t do it myself.
