How to: Make a Gigantic Solvent Transfer

I've been on a "big art" kick lately. And when I say "big", I mean gigantic (check out The World's Largest Wood Type for further clarification). There's something about a traditional art or craft done at a mind-blowingly large scale that just tickles my magic beans. So I'm going to file this 15' x 10' solvent transfer sign + tutorial in my enormous folder for all things awesome.

The creative folks at The Mandate Press applied this Beatrice Warde quote to a big ol' sheet of canvas that is, hands down, the largest solvent transfer I have ever seen. If you're not familiar with solvent transfers, the process is actually quite simple: … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com

Every stone, tile, and brick is handmade, every tree is hand-felled, and even the trebuchet-looking construction set-up was hand-crafted.   … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com

How to Drink Tequila Like a You Know What You're Doing: Unless You Live In Mexico, You're Probably Drinking It Wrong

We're wrapping up our series on tequila with a post that, arguably, should've been the first to go up: a discussion of the basics. This spring we teamed up (deliciously) with Olmeca Altos Tequila to talk about all things tequila: a spring cocktail + popcorn snacks, Cinco de Mayo (a Moscow Burro, we called it), a margarita smackdown (hint: make 'em right we'll come find you!), rules for a weekend getaway, and salsa-party hosting tips.
