Wise Owl Designs @ The Goose's Garden Party

 Introducing the creative works of two women, Wise Owl Designs.  More info and images can be found at their website.

Lea and Rachelle on their work:

"Wise Owl Designs is a collaborative workshop creating unique apparel, handbags, fiber work, and wall pieces.  Our designs are imagined by either Lea Donhowe Lovelace or Rachelle Reis Branum and then we work independently on each step of the process: screenprinting, appliqueing, sewing and adding vintage elements such as buttons.  By the time a piece is completed, both Rachelle and Lea have worked on it numerous times.

Our M.O is fun, earthwise, modern, vintage, quirky, charming, and funky!  We use organic, vintage, and upcycled clothing and buttons as our material, as well as well designed modern fabrics.

We are currently working separately in our home studios and passing items back and forth.  We are excited to announce that we will be working in a new collaborative space at 207 1/2 Washington Street in downtown Decorah, Iowa starting this summer!  We are looking forward to the way this will enrich our work further."
