In May of 1914, Gertrude Stein's
Tender Buttons was published, and, by coincidence, Stein's work has offered
us a great deal of inspiration over the past month. In fact, we've just rolled out the first of our Stein inspired creations, a set of four cotton flour sack towels, each one hand screen printed
with a different fragment from the "Food" section of the
aforementioned book:
The fragments printed are:
ASPARAGUS. Asparagus in a lean in a lean to hot. This makes it art and it is wet wet weather wet weather wet.
CHICKEN. Pheasant and chicken, chicken is a peculiar third.
PASTRY. Cutting shade, cool spades and little last beds, make violet, violet when.
SALAD. It is a winning cake.
These, and more, can be found in the new
"Tea Towels" section of
the shop.
