Whisker Graphics

Jan Ely is really more than a customer, she’s my pal and co-worker. We first met years ago at Room with a Past and now she’s working with me at Whisker Graphics. Jan used Divine Twine in a way I hadn’t thought of before and it’s brilliant! She made art by wrapping the twine around twigs, wire and paper.  I really like how the twine creates different looking textures depending on how it’s wrapped. Check it out.

You can read how Jan made her creation HERE and see the product. She added more details after she shared it with me.

Jan also has a lovely blog where she shares her adventures and other creations.

Thanks for sharing, Jan!

Another color will soon join the Divine Twine family ~ Plum. This shade of purple lands somewhere between grape and eggplant, but a little softer. It should be available by the end of the year. If you’re interested, you can visit this page on the website and sign up to receive an email notification of when it’s in stock.

I’m happy to introduce another new Divine Twine color coming soon, Brown Sugar. The color is a yummy medium brown like milk chocolate and looks great with kraft paper. It should be available by the end of the year. If you’d like to be notified when it’s in stock, click HERE and click “Request re-stock notice” and we’ll send you an email when it’s in.

I’m delighted to introduce ONE of the new colors of Divine Twine coming soon. It’s called Air Mail and I just love it! It is a petite stripe of red, white and blue and though it’s called Air Mail (because it reminds me of the stripes on air mail envelopes) it would add the perfect patriotic touch (hello Fourth of July!). It’s amazing how many country flags are red, white and blue.

I must give credit where credit is due. This color combo is the brain child of Janice from Papier Valise. A woman who know a thing or ten about cute, beautiful and inspiring visual delights. If you’ve never visited her on-line shop, you are missing out.

It will hopefully be available by the end of the year. If you’d like to be notified via email when it is in stock, please visit this page and click on “Request re-stock notice?” under the photos. You will automatically receive an email when it is available and as always, I never share your information with anyone.

My daughter is crafty (in a good way). The other day she had and idea for transforming a plain white plastic headband. She used a flower we had left over from this post and some Aqua Divine Twine. She secured the ends with scotch tape (I think glue would be better long-term) and attached the flower with wire. I think it turned out pretty cool.

Lisa Pearson strikes again! How cute is this picnic she put together?! I wish my lunch would arrive to me each day just like this. Thanks Lisa!

I’m so very happy to announce the three new colors of Divine Twine are now in stock. Yummy Cotton Candy pink bakers twine, delicious Cherry red bakers twine and sophisticated Oyster gray bakers twine. I’ve been having fun mixing and coordinating different colors together. Some favorites are Orange & Oyster, Aqua & Cherry, Cotton Candy & Oyster. Click HERE if you want some to live at your house.

It’s in here…

Thirty-two might just be my new favorite number (scooch over 33). That’s cause 32 is the page number that Divine Twine is featured on in the June 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living! Happy dance, jazz hands, ginormous smile all at the same time. I got my hands on an issue yesterday (delivered to me along with a cupcake from my best pal, Denise) and have left it on my counter open to page 32. It’s a surreal experience every time I walk by it.

Every once in a while a customer sends me a photo or two of how they’ve used their Divine Twine. I love seeing what people come up with.  Lisa Pearson sent me the photo collage below. Oh my! Lisa’s not only thoughtful, but stunningly creative! Thanks Lisa!
