Our little side project, Dolls for Friends, had the wonderful opportunity to have work featured in December’s issue of Portland Monthly magazine. There are some words about the feature on the DFF weblog.
Because we had experience in both print and web design, and because we truly loved working in both mediums, we decided that we shouldn't be completely exclusive in any one particular area.

Crafty, What?
December 24th, 2009Migratory Patterns
August 17th, 2009After quite a bit of deliberation, we decided to take a step away from Tumblr and to employ Wordpress as our primary weblog for the studio. We truly loved our time with Tumblr, but honestly, we realized that we had outgrown it and for various reasons, we needed a publishing platform with a bit more power and options.
Perhaps the main impetus for getting us to make the switch was for the Search Engine Optimization benefits. We have been concentrating heavily on improving our organic search results as a company, and we realized what we were missing by having to push our readers to an external site to read our posts was having, in our opinion, a negative effect on those results.
As of today, we are officially moved over to Wordpress and all of our content has been migrated. We have kicked the tires and bit the nickels and we’re happy with our new little e-Smith Corona.
Paper Trail
June 19th, 2009Jill and I were just interviewed as Dolls for Friends for an upcoming article in our local newspaper, The Columbian. The piece will be about our involvement in the upcoming Recycled Arts Festival in Vancouver, WA over the weekend of June 27/28.
This is the second year we have participated in this show, and it’s probably one of the best (and only) craft-related shows in Vancouver. The article mainly focused on our style, process and work aesthetic. We’re not sure when the piece will be coming out, but we are checking the paper regularly so we can snag a copy of it.
