Lobi's Profile

Bio

** Sorry for the low store stock. I'm currently preparing for the Constructor Craft Fair at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn, IL on Sunday, May 20th. Come and see original LOBI pieces there - and don't pay shipping!***

I'm a Chicago-area designer, doodler, and teen services librarian that loves to play with paint, line drawings, and modern design. There's about nothing I like better than injecting a simple piece with new life.

All of my mugs and ceramic pieces are made using carefully selected vintage pieces from many different designers and periods. The designs are then hand drawn or painted and baked, ensuring a completely unique piece every time. This process is environmentally friendly and gifts a one-of-a-kind piece for every customer.

I'm currently packaging in 8 x 8 x 8 boxes (unless special sizes don't allow it), and wrapping in newspaper. Newspaper, while not the most attractive packaging material, offers strong cushioning in an ecologically responsible way. Share the love and recycle when you unpack.

I've enjoyed looking at Etsy for awhile now but I'm new to selling here. I'm really proud to be a part of this inspired handmade community. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
