Pigeon Toe x Juju Papers Ceramic Collaboration Now Available

Juju Papers is thrilled to announce this new line of ceramic dinnerware made in collaboration with Lisa Jones of Pigeon Toe Ceramics.
Longtime admirers of each others work, we finally had a chance to meet and decided to design some pieces together that reflect the characteristics that embody best of both designers - the elegant simplicity of Pigeon Toe's matte minimalist porcelain  forms, paired with the spirited marks of Juju's signature wallpaper style.
Together, the forms are classics in the making - statement pieces that reflect a modern, iconic simplicity and elegance.
Juju and Pigeon Toe are offering serving plates, small plates, and vessels in grey and white, exclusively through the Pigeon Toe website.pigeontoeceramics.com.

Cle Elum and Sisters of the Sun: New designs for 2014 Announced by Design*Sponge

So excited to present two new designs for 2014: Cle Elum and Sisters of the Sun. I was thrilled that Design*Sponge chose to announce the release!
As quoted from Design*Sponge: Designer Avery Thatcher of Juju designed two new styles for this year’s launch: Sisters of the Sun and Cle ElumSisters of the Sun is a contemporary spin on a classic dot pattern. I love the way each dot feels different and lets you see a bit of Avery’s paintbrush gesture with each dot. As much as I love a clean geometric, designs like this that really show the artist’s hand and style a bit more are always my favorite. Cle Elum is a hand-drawn pattern inspired by both the flora and fauna of the Cle Elum river area in Washington and a short story by Raymond Carver, who lived in and wrote about the Pacific Northwest. The pattern is an upbeat twist on Carver’s dark tale with fun florals, coniferous trees and hazel catkins in shiny silver and gold. I love the dark charcoal background on this style- it feels so rich and sophisticated but still has a bit of playfulness. Avery will be debuting her collection at ICFF (Booth #831), but until then, you can check out her work online right here. Thanks, Avery!  Thanks to Grace, and thanks to all of you who have been in touch to pre-order and get the jump on samples and rolls! My website's Paypal deal is up and running now, so we're all set. Thanks for your patience! XOXOXO   Screen Shot 2014-05-07 at 3.20.33 PM  Screen Shot 2014-05-07 at 3.12.06 PM

How to use ONE ROLL of wallpaper: Furniture Makeovers by Barb Blair offers tips on how to use Juju for a home accents

A lot of people write to me because they love Juju, but they can't commit to wallpapering the walls either because of their renters status, or because of the expense of multiple rolls. Barb Blair offers some great alternatives to "the whole room" by adding splashes of pattern into the decor. Check out this piece that she made with Juju Papers' A View of the Woods in White. It only used one roll! [caption id="attachment_428" align="alignnone" width="278"]Barb Blair's Chest with Juju Papers Barb Blair's Chest with Juju PapersFM1[/caption]

The Diner Journal!

Some of you may already know the Diner Journal, founded by the good people that brought you Diner and Marlow and Sons in Williamsburg. It is food as told by a contemporary voice that hasn't been edited to death. Anyhoo! I did some illustrations and collage for their latest issue, Number 24. The incredibly talented Tom Dean of Lostwoods Prints did the front and back cover, and I did the inside flaps along with the collage for a story titled Nonnie. Here are some of the recipes featured in this edition
Bone Marrow Toast w/ Lobster Salad , Beer Braised Rabbit, Farro Soup w/ Poached Oysters + Roasted Mushrooms,
Roasted Grapefruit Granita
I love this quarterly!

I love this lady! Karen Combs of Nama Rococo

I really admire Karen Combs' beautiful line of wallpapers. So much that when I first saw her work I went to North Adams to meet her in person. Sure, she probably thought that I was a little creepy . . . but now we're buds! You can truly see how I get my dork on. Thanks for the pic, Karen. XO
