Peg and Awl: Edible Backyards

 

We didn't make it out for much of First Friday, as we only arrived for the tail end, but the Peg and Awl opening at Art in the Age made it worth the trip. The show looked great and there were BABY CHICKENS! (Forgive the excitement but its not every day that Olivia and I get to see baby chickens!!!!!) Margaux and Walter did a fabulous job of incorporating their handmade items with art of all types (photos, prints, video, paintings and sculpture), history of gardening and introducing their new business venture Edible Backyards. Can't wait to see more! The show is up until the end of the month. If you are in Old City, go check it out!

 

First Friday!

Tonight is First Friday! I'll have some tiny chickens and a few squirrels over at Art in the Age for the Peg and Awl: Edible Backyards show!

Julia Levitina has new work at Artists House Gallery!

Art Star is having a Craft Bazaar preview at the Race Street Pier! 

And as always Frankford Ave Arts Scene is awesome, including a food truck pop up shop at 1340 Frankford Ave...yesss!

Peg and Awl: Waxed Canvas Totes and Pouches

 

 

Waxed Canvas Tote in Autumn Spice by Peg and Awl

It is rare that a bag of any sort can stand up to all the shit I put it through...life, sculpture, Olivia (She put a pound of rocks in my bag the other day and I didn't notice until I was already out of the house...awesome.) So when I heard that Peg and Awl was coming out with a waxed canvas tote made from antique military leather, I was so excited. Not only would it be able to hold all my day to day shit, but it would be able to stand up to the random tools I need to throw in my bag (I have been known to pull needle nose pliers or screw drivers out of my bag on occasion...and once a whole handful of cut nails.) So yesterday was the day! They have it in both spice and coal and the bags are beautiful. They also have pouches that I am thinking of using to store my modeling tools. Both bags are made from antique and reclaimed materials AND made locally. Check out their Etsy shop for more info...!

And we gave them a human skull a few weeks ago (long story) and he's already made it into some photos!
