Ain Soph Aur is a Hebrew word meaning limitless light; which is a phrase meaning Crown or God. Ain Soph Aur is a conceptual menswear line which seeks to inspire creativity, reflection, and manifesting reality. Influences/inspirations/themes that run through Ain Soph Aur consist of Mysticism, Architecture, Abstractionism, Religion, Surrealism, Minimalism, The Ocean, Absurdity, and many other things that come through intuition. Each collection is part of a greater concept; starting off as something as simple as just a word, causing a catalyst to form, creating a story with imagery and characters that wear the clothes. The clothes therefore become artifacts from the world created in the mind.

A brand new box of crayons is magical. Half-used, broken crayons are often tossed aside. CrayonFawn brings new life to these old forgotten crayons in the form of cute fawn, roller skates, owls, bunnies and Abraham Lincoln head sculptures. The recycled crayons are melted down and then poured into a handmade mold in layers of various hues and shades into an experiment in color. Festive, unique, and always a party favorite, Cupcake Hats and other fun hats are a spin-off from the CrayonFawn brand. They make a prefect accessory for a costume or just to add a little flair when you’re going out dancing with your friends. |

With a whipstitch here and a blanket stitch there, Lexi Lee can turn just about anything into an art project. Looking for a way to hide and cower behind her crafts, she created the alias “little bit”, under which she has found her stitch and rhyme. If you were to drop in on Lexi unannounced, chances are you’d find her engaged in one of the following activities: hand-binding a journal too precious to actually write in, sewing an adorable addition to her felt menagerie, or spontaneously crocheting the likeness of, say, a vegetable or a punk icon, When she isn’t selling her hand-crafted wares at local arts-and-crafts shows, Lexi usually hangs out in her garden where broccoli grows from sinks and flowers from fishbowls. All the “little bit” domain names were taken up, so you can find her at www.atinylittlebit.com. Contact Little Bit |
