The Wonderful Word for Wednesday is ‘Products’!
Friends, I am so excited to share with you what I have been working on behind the scenes lately. I’ve been putting my own designs on products!
POD
Do you know about Print on Demand (POD) sites? For those of us who love to create all the things, POD sites are amazing!
Print on Demand is a way for a creator to design and offer products without having to keep inventory at one’s house or handle packaging and shipping. Many of these types of on-line POD sites will allow you to have your own ‘store’ on their site, so that’s what I did!
My favorite POD site at this time is called ‘Art of Where’, and this site hosts my little store called Little Bird’z Studio.
Sidebar on naming “Little Bird’z Studio”
The ‘Play Art With Kim’ name is great for workshops, tutorials, and this BLOG, but I felt I needed a different name for my products and thus, ‘Little Bird’z Studio’ has been born.
The inspiration for the name comes from a little card I received from a good friend years ago with a little bird on it. Add to that the fact that I love birds and that my husband sometimes refers to me as his ‘little sparrow’, it seemed like the perfect fit.
When I went to purchase the domain (the site address) it was already taken. BUT, my husband suggested using a ‘z’ in place of the ‘s’ in birds, and THAT one was available and now mine.
Now back to the PRODUCTS!
Art of Where
Art of Where is my favorite right now because they have high standards for quality materials, and if I’m going to sell something with my own art on it, I want it to be quality!
I have applied some of my favorite designs to some of my favorite products: pillow covers, tea towels, notebooks, pencil pouches, headbands, and of course a mask is a must.
Take a look at all the goods! This is the time to be looking for Christmas gifts friends! And if you shop like me, it’s “one for _____, one for me” and repeat”.
I cannot tell you how much fun I’ve had designing and applying my designs onto these products. I will be adding things to the store frequently so check in once in awhile to see what’s there! Here’s what’s there as of today:
Home Decor
How good would one of these items look in your house? How about for a Christmas Present? You get to choose the fabric type for the pillows and I’ve heard that the tea towels are a hot item.
Stationary / Office Products
These notebooks and this zipper pouch are fantastic quality! I have the dark teal notebook and a zipper pouch and am very impressed with the quality of both.
The notebooks are hand-bound and have 70lb white acid free paper and a scuff resitant velvet ultra matte laminate cover. Furthermore, when you order a notebook, you can choose whether the pages are blank, lined, grid, or dot grid. You can use your brush pens for calligraphy in this notebook and this paper will not damage your pens.
The zipper pouch measures 9″ by 4″ and has a YKK zipper and a keychain tab. The outer fabric is durable twill printed fabric,and it is lined with artist canvas.
Put these two in your purse or bag to have with you at all times!
Personal Products
I have the mask pictured below and it’s my favorite! It is double layered and has a place to put a filter if you’d like. it has a moldable nose bridge piece for good fitting, and super comfy ear holders. I have ordered the headband but do not have it yet, although I have seen and felt their headbands and they are high quality.

Well yes, this was a shameless sales plug, but you wouldn’t know what I had to offer if I didn’t tell you! Can you imagine not knowing these beautiful products are in the world? You are welcome.
Alrighty friends, Go Forth and SHOP and/or CREATE your own products!
