Thanks Amy!

Ah friday...

Eric's off from work today and we are going to take a little trip out of the city to go mountain biking. I wanted to post some awesome reviews by a few bloggers we got to meet at BKLYN designs.

Day One of the show

So we just finished day one of the BKLYN Designs show. It was a long but pretty wonderful day. Eric and I have been getting some great feedback about our work.

First Day BKLYN Designs!

Ok so it's been awhile since we've posted. I could never have imagined how busy we would be from the time we applied to today - the first day of BKLYN Designs.

Valentines Day Carving Mallet!

Best Valentines Day present ever! Eric made me a carving mallet, which is pretty great considering we are working on a few carving projects right now. Freakin' sweet. Happy Valentines Day!

Let's Start A Company?

So our biggest dreams and fears have been granted to us all at once. Thrilling as it was to be accepted into BKLYN Designs, now we have less than 4 months to make it all happen. We feel good about our ideas, but they have to become "products." We think we're good designers, but now we need to be a company. It means exploring manufacturing options, learning about how small businesses work, creating an identity, not to mention building more prototypes and putting our whole booth together! One of the first and most important items on the list is creating this website. Lucky for us, our good friend Chromix knows more than a few things about making websites, and he started by getting the perfect domain name: colleenanderic.com. We'll be adding things along the way, but for now, a blog.

BKLYN Designs 2010!

Colleen and I just got the news that we have been accepted into the BKLYN Designs 2010 show! We're designers by training but not occupation and have been quietly working on our own stuff for years. The BKLYN Designs show has really become a crazy big deal and we've been impressed by the work shown there. After watching from the sidelines for a few years, we decided it was time to give it a go. The application process was pretty official, and we knew we were up against both smart designers and established companies, so we did our very best, and hoped for the best. They liked it! We're pumped, and now Colleen & Eric is for real.
