Our brick and mortar store is now 35 years old !

We have been in STRAWBERRY SQUARE since October 1987 working hard to bring you "nEAT sTUFF" you won't find at the "mall" with a strong presence of treasures HANDMADE in the USA. It has certainly been a journey!! Thanks to all who have been along for the trip.
As you may know our online store was born out of nesscessity due to Covid. OUR STRAWBERRY SQUARE store remains home with lots more “nEAT sTUFF” than you will find here.

‼️AND A REMINDER. . . for those of you who are local just message me or add note to your order if you prefer picking up at the store during our public hours. I will reimburse your ship cost when you pick up.

Not driven by trend, heeding the advice from their followers and endless reconnaissance, Maruca’s functional shapes are designed to actually work in your life.  AND FROM OUR EXPERIENCE OF SELLING THEM FOR OVER 20 YEARS…NO FLAWS ON DELIVERY & NARY A COMPLAINT AS TO THEM “WEARING OUT”!!!!!!

Maruca Design, over 25 years old  remains a small, intimate studio nestled in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado. Every bag still hand cut and sewn. Maruca, believes that creating small production runs of their bags within a cottage industry, creates a consciousness that humanizes the work and makes for a more “harmonious society”. The result is that they can tout a product that is unique, well made and moves from heart to hand.

GO TO YOUR STUDIO AND MAKE STUFF

 

 Paperback 64 gloss stock pages

10 7/8” x 13 3/4”

 I rediscovered this prize once sold at IDEAS AND OBJECTS  last year (2020) and happy it was safe and sound laying flat on the  cado shelf

SIGNED BY THE ARTIST as part of the order placing process over 20 years ago.

........... It's a manifesto--a call to art! A call to self-expression, to taking the road less traveled. For too long, people have been buying paintings because they match the furniture, turning to sappy, picture-postcard landscapes or abstract swirls in designer colors. Well, Fred Babb is an artist and true art lover who's had it with this soulless art approach, and in Go to Your Studion and Make Stuff he presents an illustrated rallying cry for creativity, the purity of expression, and a return to honest, unpretentious, heartfelt art. Go to Your Studion and Make Stuff combines 26 full-color paintings with inspiring text about the power of art and the imagination. On the big, framable poster pages are Babb's colorful masklike faces and heads, the strange characters with the startled eyes and open mouths. But Babb has always mixed text and image, and these paintings convey his famous art observations: "Art can't hurt you." "Art is one of the few things left worth doing." "Good art is often too broad to fit through narrow minds." And the classic: "Good art won't match your sofa." Facing the paintings are Babb's thoughts about art. Like the work itself, Babb's ideas are personal, quirky, refreshing, and very insightful.
