Three Sheets 2 the Wind Blog

Earlier this year I made a few updates to the existing textile print collection. I added the color canary yellow and slate gray as an option to several print styles. I also changed three 18″x18″ floral wall prints to a new size, 14″x18″. You can see several examples of this in the photo below. There’s  also a new vertical print, gerbera.

Counter clockwise from top: 14×18 daisy flower in canary/white and tangerine/pebble, 14×18 sunflower in canary/slate/white and glacier/bark/pebble and tangerine/celery/pebble, 14×18 square flower in glacier/pebble and celery/white.

I’ve just posted photos of the new full coverage patterns on flickr.

I was asked to create a few small wall prints with yellow artwork for February’s issue of Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine.

The new color, Canary Yellow, is now available in four 8″ wall prints: perennial, small tulip, solid pompon, and leaftlet.

I just finished a project for Lauren Stern Design out of Brooklyn, NY. Lauren, an interior designer, contacted me about creating three large wall prints for a playroom in a residence in Fisher Island, FL. She chose the artwork, color and layout for all three pieces. I made a few suggestions and revised the layout slightly. Fortunately for me, Lauren understood the aesthetic of my work so it was easy to land on a final design for all three prints. Each piece is 30″ x 40″ in size. The prints were professionally framed as well.

These three prints are part of a remodel and redesign of a 10,000 sq ft residence on Fisher Island off the coast of South Beach Miami.  Lauren describes the style as uber-lux modern with a hint of beach. She is also working on a gut renovation of a NYC 4-bedroom west village duplex penthouse, as well as a 6-person engineer office in Bergen County.

I’ve had a few requests lately to print white ink on the graphite linen instead of the black ink. I think it looks really nice so I wanted to put it out there for other people to see. I am always open to special requests… all you have to do is ask!

I just recently posted this image, along with a a few others on flickr. Check them out!

A customer of mine ordered these two prints a few weeks back. I photographed them at the time because I thought they made a great pair. The natural linen color on the right with white & black ink is a nice balance to the white linen color with bark & black in on the left.

Striving for better quality!
I am SO excited to announce that I have upgraded the linen quality here in the studio! I made the jump and switched to Irish Linen as of last month. The fabric weight is slightly heavier, but the hand feel is softer and the weave is finer and smoother. It’s amazing!

The transition over to the new quality will happen in two stages. I am currently using the new quality in every color except – marigold, twig and russet. These colors will be available until the end of the year and then I will be switching over to a new color palette for 2009.

Organic linen options are now available.
The studio is stocked with white and natural organic linen. Any styles ordered online in white or pebble linen can be switched over to an organic option. Please email me at jenny@threesheets2.com and I will change your order to organic!

Bags are back
It’s the 4th year anniversary of three sheets 2 the wind this fall season and I wanted to celebrate by bringing back the linen bags. They make a great gift for the holidays.

One yard of fabric for the D.I.Y. types
Finally… an idea for those of you who like to do it yourself! I’ve added hand printed fabric in “one yard” pieces to the website so that you can use it for your own home projects. The 36” x 59” piece can be stretched and stapled to wood stretchers or a canvas frame bought at your local art store.

Deadline for a holiday order is December 1st
December 1st is the deadline for holiday orders. Any orders received by this date will be shipped the week of the 15th.

Happy Fall Everybody!
