Fall is here!

We've been so busy here at Wonder Thunder headquarters we haven't had much of a chance to update our Internet presence! Thanks to your interest in our offerings we're staying incredibly busy keeping up with our stock and orders! We're working on some new items as we speak!

We now have new sets of vegetable bags available in our Etsy store, and will soon add them here!

We also have the Complicated Clouds shirts in new colors, once we have pictures we'll add them!

New colors of the Octopus's Accident pillow are printing this week as well as reprints of the tea towels, we'll let you know when they're done!

We're also working on some new screen-printed posters, as well as some new tea towels!

Just as fetid as west virginia's water.

hello there binary friends. i hope you've had your honey crisp apple today.

bumbershoot went great despite the monsoons, we heard about 9.4 million people say "toast!" followed by giggling or just more "toast! toast! toast!" we only had nine pillows to offer you, though. so if you were one of the lucky 9, you can put your extraordinary eye and snatching skills on your resume. it may be useful when applying for jobs in the thieving arts, fly catching, noodling, even...

we have a new upcoming event, a brand new one for us this year. We'll be participating in the Sustainable Ballard Festival September 26th and 27th. We'll be offering our reusable vegetable bags for all of your bagging needs. Please come by if you're in the area!

(roughly copied and pasted from their website!)
Sustainable Ballard is a non-profit organization started in 2003, as a positive and active response to the Iraq War. We wanted to explore what we as a community could 'do' to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Sustainable Ballard embraces the idea that we are all founders of a sustainable Ballard, where community self-reliance and sustainability is good foreign policy implemented locally. Comprised of local neighbors, Sustainable Ballard originally organized around the idea of Ballard becoming the first US town to become energy interdependent.

Though they mention Ballard as a town, it's now just the neighborhood of Seattle where we live. Ballard used to be it's own rough and tumble sailor filled city but was sneakily annexed by Seattle. We hear rumors from the 1900's that that Seattle put a dead horse in Ballard's water supply in an effort to convince them to vote for the annexation.

Anyway...The 6th Annual Sustainable Ballard Festival. No dead ponies, but still fun for all.

We're just days away from Bumbershoot (September 5,6,7) where we'll be exhibiting and selling with lots of other talented folks at Flatstock 22. Come see us in the Fisher Pavilion!

No Notion Like Rainbow Notion.

Oh yes! One of our favorite places Bluebottle Art Gallery and Store did a little interview with us. Read it and do a little shopping!

We're still getting ready for Readymade Handmade in San Francisco (July 18th and 19th). Here's a really basic preview of our new booth design. Does it lure you inside?




My computer is about to overheat from the extreme heat of indoors. More soon!

Finally!

Summer's finally here(if you're living in the Pacific Northwest, otherwise you should be pretty deep into the heat), and we're happy to announce the first couple items for the season!

We've made some new batches of our famous vegetable bags, this time in a bright green color! We're real happy with them, hopefully you will be too!



Secondly, our new Moody Toast Pillow is now available for purchase! He's a nice little addition to any moody household, flip him over depending on how you're feeling.




We'll have some new shirts up verrrrrry soon!

Big things!

Are in the works! We've been busy playing house and getting our new studio space in to shape. We've managed to get things in working order, and here's some pictures of a few things that we've been doing!

Here's our new bready friend, he helps us decide what kind of mood to be in each day.
Yay...

or nay...

Some stacks of fabric, take note of the green!

About ten loaves worth of bread.

The bathroom in the studio/ basement is pretty intense. For now it's our jars of food room. On the left we have what will hopefully be a gallon of ginger kombucha(made with black tea). On the right we have what will be some fermented vegetables, namely pickles and carrots.

And there's been a little bit of this going on as well.

That paper bag in yonder corner holds what will be a small army of praying mantises to devour the coming aphid scourge that will be our neighborhood.

And it looks like the cat made it to the new house as well.
