We are honored to be selected to participate in SFMade and Citibank Local Manufacturers Award this week. Our products get to display at one of Citibank Branch; Geary Blvd, San Francisco CA 94121 for a week (May 6-10). If you are around Outer Richmond Neighborhood during (May 6-10), please ask for a ballet between May 6-10, 2013. We appreciate if you can give us your votes for support!
We made these SF Victorian house collection journals to match SFMade week theme. Every details of these artworks were engraved by hand dot by dot and line by line. It took us 5-6 hours to engrave these covers.
We engraved on cedar wooden covers. We also included our little brochures on the display for Citibank’s customers to take home.
We also printed our Golden Gate Bridge photo to present it as products backdrop.

This little personalized journal is perfect for mother’s day gift. You want to show your mom your love and appreciation by giving her a special personalized gift! Remember our Zaarlty spring promotion is still on til May 17, save $15 on your special gift for mother’s day!
This is a fashion portfolio cover we made for Desireen. She sent us a flowery boot for the front cover engraving. First we traced the outline of the artwork, then we pretty much hand sketched the rest of the details with razortip pen.
We added shadow to give some dimension to the artwork.
Compare these sketches with Desiree’s portfolio cover, somehow we can identify our distinctive hand sketch style even there are on different medium.
All women love shoes no exception for us! We did some shoes sketches 2 years ago, then made it to book marks for give away at our craft fairs. We remembered once there was a guy took one of our shoe sketches book mark, then we curiously asked him ” You like women shoes too?” then he smiled and said ” I like these sketches and it’s nice to have them”. In that moment we realized our feminine sketches can get men’s attention too!
The inside pages are removable so it’s easy for Desiree to add or remove her own portfolio content.
We also custom made her a muslin bag to match her portfolio cover, hope this little detail can make her portfolio stand out from the crowd.
Testimonial from Desiree:
“Mai, I am very satisfied, it is so beautiful and beat my expectations! Thank you for everything you have done!”

This is an unique gift we made for Frank. It’s one-of a kind custom journal we made to Frank’s specifications. Frank sent us an image ( below), and see we could hand burn-engraving this image on the journal cover.
It’s a challenge project but we had fun doing it too..oh.. Frank said his girl friend loved it too!
How do you like this hand painted burlap bag for final touch packaging?
