WELL PRESERVED
Michele Graybeal developed a taste for the
culinary arts on a visit to Germany when she was
just six years old. Inspired by her father's love of
marmalade, she set herself the task of creating
the most flavorful preserves. When she's not
working as color and lighting lead on Disney TV
Animation's Monsters At Work, she's cooking up
small batches of citrus marmalades and preserves
using natural pectin and fresh ingredients. Pick
up a jar for $10 at hearthandlarder.com.
PRIMITIVELY FUNKY
Fancy a funky T-shirt or canvas
bag with an original block-print
design? Look no further than
Phil Cummings' collection that is
inspired by pre-Columbian, Celtic,
and African designs. The animation
timer for Bento Box's Paradise PD
fell in love with block-printing
when he was seven and often
includes Latin epigrams in the
motifs. T-shirts are $30 and can be
found at philcummingsart.com.
A YEN FOR YARN
Erica Smith only recently started
exploring needle punching, a technique
she employs in her colorful bags and wall
hangings. The background designer, who
works at Bento Box, creates abstract
and graphic designs out of yarn. These
adorn her versatile bags which hold
anything from art supplies to cosmetics,
or framed wall hangings.
Prices range from $20–$50.
