Last week we joined about 30 team energetic Etsy Dallas team members, Spring Bash vendors and happy volunteers to all join in and help us make some rocking decorations and prep supplies for our Etsy Dallas Make n Take booth for the Spring Bash. 
They also made a pretty mess. We only got a shot of the yellow and white paper cuts, but later on there was some pretty teal mixed in there too!
This week we gathered the troops again over at Bonny Bead's home studio and stuffed the Bash Bags that we designed and printed for the show. These Bash Bags are STUFFED with so much awesome!
Here's a quick sneak peek of just a handful of the goodies that you'll find in there if you're one of the first 50 shoppers. 
We included some of our new coasters in pretty teal and black. These we so much fun to make. Dylan hand cut the wood, sanded and printed our logo on each one, then Pamela designed some fancy packaging and we stuffed one of these babies in each bag. 
Slinkachu, a artist from the UK, creates street art, but a little differently than just whipping out the cans of spray paint and covering a side of a building. Instead he places tiny figurines around rough urban areas, creates a usually playful, but sometimes melancholy interaction between the two, then he captures the moment in a beautiful photograph. Pamela finds Slinkachu's work to be quite charming, humorous, and well though out. See more of his work here. 
This art pretty much stopped Dylan in his tracks. I mean what's more appealing than a big slab of texas shaped steak to really draw you in. MEAT America is brought to you by photographer and artist Dominic Espiscopo as he explores the spirit of America through icons and symbols made of meat. Go see the Elvis tenderloin and check out more of his work here. 
For this Spring Bash Pamela made the artwork for the bags and Dylan screenprinted them in our little 2 car studio. We say 2 car studio, because our studio is actually converted from our old two car garage. 
What's great about printing in the Studio is that we can open up a whole wall to the outside on nice days like today with just a click of a button. We sure will miss that if we ever move to a different studio.
These babies are super soft and stuffed full of love and stuffings. We love each one and hope you do too.
Be the first to get your hands on these in the Dowdy Studio Wagon .We'll be at Bosla Cafe in Oak Cliff this Saturday from 2-11pm and Sunday 10am-3pm. See ya there!
Were still grooving on the new sign, but we think we need to make a couple more that say "Come on in" or "We don't bite....hard" to put on the other doors. We're noticing that people aren't quite sure if they can actually come in the Dowdy Studio Wagon or not. Well, ya can guys. Come on in and have a dance party with us in there. What do you think our signs should say? Tell us in the comments. 
The park was in full bloom with all kinds of lovely flowers. To get this shot I actually laid down in a bed of flowers (not on the flowers...don't worry, they're okay). When i got up, I realized people were watching me.....probably concerned for my mental health(?)......but I just shot up and waltzed off like it was normal...cuz everyone does that, right?
There was lots of fun tents all over the park! We didn't get to do much exploring, but we lived through the rest of the event through the tales of our Wagon visitors. One adorable little gal told us that the animal rescue booth was giving away rubber duck-i-corns for $1 donations after seeing our Musicorn tee. I didn't believe in the magic duck-i-corn until she showed us the proof.
Told ya, the park is beautiful!
Ok, so back to the duck-i-corn, my good amiga Stephanie, and I (Pamela) have some weird childhood crazy girl obsession with unicorns, so the duck-i-corn totally made our day. 
The first step was drawing the Dowdy Studio logo. Luckly we had a little print out to look at while drawing the new chalk logo. 
Logo done! Now Pamela moves on to sketching out the type in pencil. She made a teeny little sketch on a post-it note to be a guide for the real deal. 
Our new chalkboard sign got it's first debut on the door of the Dowdy Studio Wagon all weekend.
There were lots of cool vendors. Must give a shout out to my Etsy Dallas peeps: Signifying Not, ReGeared, Karmacrocket, 2Enju who were all there and a special shout out to our friends from F is for Frank. They all rock'd it as usual.
Justin + Lindsay had the cutest lively bundle of fluff. The lovely Milo, waltzed in the Wagon and started shopping even before his parents knew what was going on. I think he was kinda bummed to find we didn't have any tees in his size, but we think he still had a good time. 
Thanks for stopping by our blog guys! We hope to see you soon at the next Dowdy Studio Wagon event. We'll be at Oak Cliff Earth Day this Sunday from 12-5pm.
