Good Gourd!

Good morning all,
I've finally gotten around to making a few more bird houses. I have other gourds still drying in my basement that are a different variety (next year should be fun!) but should be just a beautiful. Often these are called Purple Martin Houses as they are favored by them. The size of the hole and placement of your house will also determine the kind of bird nesting in them. Even if they do not attract birds, I think they look cool hanging in a tree or on a porch or patio. We've got about a dozen varying bird houses in the studio currently, but they won't last long! Stop by to purchase yours and check out the new window display. Happy, happy week!

Badger Pack

Good morning all,
I've been having such fun creating lately, I'm tempted to quit my job and become a full time play girl! Now that training camp has officially started we are all thinking football and with football comes cold weather. I did a beach version of these bags, and thought they would be perfect for taking to the game. It's a pillow, it's a bag, no, it's a blanket!  I discovered I cannot  make and sell any products made with officially licensed fabric, but I can give them away! I can also create them in your school colors or favorite team colors. Details to come, so stay tuned for a chance to win your stadium bag! Happy, happy week!

Back to School

Good morning all,
Each month we change out one of the display windows in the front of the store and yesterday I spent the day making a few items for Maneque our mannequin mascot. Today's image is a pencil skirt (get it!) with a zipper accent that can be worn in the back, on the side or even the front! Be sure to check back in early August for the big reveal! Happy, happy week!

Happy, happy week!

AZS

Good morning all,
While screwing around with the hypertufas weeks back, I thought it would be cool to make my own letters. Before taking the time to construct the whole alphabet I thought I'd make an AZ and S (acronym for Arnst Zipper Studio). While the A was curing, my sister-in-law and co-worker Kim Kuehl presented me with a framed Z. Now I had two letters made in two different mediums. I needed a third. I went with the first thing that came to mind, fabric. And there you have it, hand made letters at Arnst Zipper Studio!
Don't forget Uncle Shebs, this Saturday the 13th. New designs and a one day only special. 923 Michigan Ave. in Sheboygan from 10-2. Happy, happy week!
