A Catalogue Creation

This is a catalogue that I made for my Graphic Design final last fall semester. The assignment was to create an 8 page catalogue for a business of our choice using products that we had. I decided to use my Etsy shop, Fabric & Shoestring, as the business and create a canvas edition catalogue out of some artwork I've made. Each piece has a witty story to go along.

Weeping Guitar: "A small stringed instrument named Friedrich sits crying under a willow tree. He just lost his first love to a screamo band. She had been going down the wring path for a while now. Friedrich had a bad feeling about the last gig. His feelings were right. She was smashed. Literally."

Dying Butterfly: "It is hard to tell when a butterfly is dying. They are not like humans. You cannot see signs of aging like wrinkles or grey hair. With butterflies, the young fellow is just as beautiful as the one that is about to die." 

Waggish Branch: "Susan will never forget the day she turned into a rabbit. She fell off of the very top tree branch and was quite alarmed that she wasn't hurt. She did, however, spend the rest of the day as a rabbit. She told Lucy about it while flying kites the next day. But Lucy didn't believe her."

A big thanks to friends Becca, Kaelin, and Ellen for helping with the photos! All photos taken by me and all canvas art by me. I super enjoyed this project! Definitely my favorite of all of them for that class.

*Canvases not really for sale. Sorry, kids.

Dwindling Etsy

I realize that my inventory in my shop is dwindling and I apologize. The semester has just started and these last few weeks have been super busy.

But have no fear! 

New items on the way.

Shop Update! *feathers*

Just updated my shop with a bunch of nifty feather pendants.These feathers are so very beautiful, I had a hard time deciding to give them up and sell them. They can be used as necklace pendants, hair accessories, or whatever else you can think of. Look in my shop and see if you find any to your liking!

A New Escapade

Hello! If you don't know already my name is Kathryn. Formerly known as Kathryn Lynn Photography, I am now venturing towards a new journey called Fabric & Shoestring!

Now a 19 year old girl with creative juices a'flowing, I'm ready to start an outlet for other's to enjoy my craftwork. So I've created a handmade and vintage shop on Etsy. Not only am I stoked for the challenge of consistently making new things to put up for sale, but this will also help me to pay for college! I'm studying photography at Union University and feel extremely privileged to do so. Buying my items will strictly help pay for my schooling.

Another part of my shop will be vintage items. I've always loved digging through old garage sales, thrift shops, and antique malls to find really unique items that have a neat history. Old, dusty, antique things fascinate me. I try to find items that just the right person will stumble upon and say, "I must have that!"

The focus of my items, handmade and vintage, is beauty, function, and affordability. If you are wanting the finest quality of this or that then I probably don't have it. I'm not too into that groove. But if you want a unique vintage or handmade item that won't cost you an arm and a leg, then take a look in my shop and see if I have something to your fancy. And you could always help out a poor college student, right?

Also, a large part of Fabric & Shoestring is going to be the blog. I will be posting lots of DIY tutorials, Film Fridays, and so much more. And a big part of that will be encouragement. More about the blog soon. For now, check out my Etsy shop here and be sure to subscribe in the left-hand column!
