I like to use any profits from my open studio event for new products, last year it was wallpaper, this year something a little easier! And, great excitement, prototypes of my rocking horse design as a tray and cutting mat arrived in the post today. Now I have to make decisions (this I am not good at!). Should I split the order and do this in teal as well? Should I do two designs? I would like a tray in the Logpile design and a cutting mat just so that I can call it 'chop chop'. I hope to have production in place before my Summer holiday ready for Autumn. (I can't believe summer is racing away before it has even started here in the UK, we are back to skies the colour of tin buckets today)

goodness such beautiful things! Yes do the log pile too... it's a winner. I'd love a tray x
ReplyDeleteOooooh! I'm in love! Yes,split the order,I'm sure teal will be fab too (and you should make the logpile too!)
ReplyDeletethat is gorgeous, the tray looks amazing! it's a tricky one, though I guess it's all eggs in one basket if you only have one colour, plus you can work out which is the more popular if you have 2 colours available.
ReplyDeleteyes teal. yes logpile. all yes yes yes! me and seventy tree have been wanting to do trays for a while but can't find the right place. are these ary? x
ReplyDeleteAgree with Fran, yes to both. Chop Chop board will be on my wishlist straightaway.
ReplyDeleteLog pile please and teal would be lovely. Love chop chop name too! X
ReplyDeleteDefinitely logpile chopping board!
ReplyDeleteI would have the two products they match each other and look great, the log pile would look too, I guess is than to money? I have been looking to do the same products but could not get my act together, so well done on you, by the way so nice to finally meet you in person, and lets get together very soon please!!!
ReplyDeleteThank-you all, still deciding!
ReplyDeleteFran - not Ary, another Swedish manufacturer
thanks for the tray info virginia, i'll have a look. x
ReplyDeletep.s i have a crush on grayson perry too.
Both are delightfull, I have no doubt! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood work Virginia....love the horse tray, I think two colour options would be good....more coordinating potential for customers and love the 'chop chop' idea!
ReplyDeleteOoh love these and yes please do do log pile and teal! Chop chop - genius! So funny as we've got some trays in the pipeline too!! Hope all is well with you x
ReplyDeleteHi ya, love them both and I love that they match each other - they'd make great gifts sold together or by themselves. Do you mind me asking where you get the trays from and how they're printed? I'm in New Zealand - so a UK supplier wouldn't be practical (and I don't want to go down the made in China route) but I'd love to email them for their advice. That would be very much appreciated, thank you : )
