11.10 sketch challenge


Hi! It's about that time again for another sketch challenge from Sketchy Thursdays. Play along—we love to see what you make each week! Here is the DT inspiration for you.



























November GDT - Leah


This week's challenge is sponsored by Bananafishstudio!


Bananafishstudio is a small shop specializing in vintage inspired paper notions with a modern twist. France Wisniewski, the owner, is a graphic designer and has been playing with paper forever it seems. She began her Etsy journey a couple years ago when her husband suggested she sell some of the things she was always making. It never occurred to her that anyone would love her little odds and ends as much as she did. 

Using her massive collection of ephemera as inspiration she continues to create adornments based on her love of old office supplies, ledger paper, labels and vintage advertisements. All her items are designed, cut, and packaged in her home studio in Seattle. 

By the way, the name of her company was suggested by her husband and reveals her love of Salinger and books in general. She is fond of telling people that she is a graphic designer with an English degree. It seems fitting that she is always looking for creative ways to tell stories.


VISITING PLACES!

The shop will re-open temporarily with a limited supply of holiday items the day after Thanksgiving!

One lucky winner will receive the December Daily Accessory Kit! 
This exclusive Bananafishstudio kit is just bursting with holiday goodness. It contains hand stitched journal cards, a full set of round 1" number spots, assorted labels, embellishments and so much more to add that perfect touch to your December Daily project. 

*Some items may differ from the images based on availability.
