These ceramic fruits are cast from oranges acquired at the local Chinese farmers market in San Francisco.  Because of the nature of these artworks, each piece varies.  Fruits are roughly 4" in diameter. 

Cathy Lu's work revolves around the manipulation, appropriation, and de-contextualization of traditional Chinese art imagery and presentation as a way to explore how Eastern imagery is seen and understood in the US, and how ideas of cultural ‘authenticity’ and ‘tradition’ interface with contemporary trans-cultural experiences. 

Her work draws inspiration from the displays at the Asian Art Museum, to fruit markets in Chinese immigrant neighborhoods, and to the trinket shops in Chinatown.

Cathy currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA.

Devised by New York product designer Jamie Wolfond, the pipe's bowl is artfully pierced by a slender stem encompassing both its mouthpiece and its carb.

It stands steadily on a flat surface, its proportions and scale have been calibrated for pleasure and ease of use, and its lab-quality borosilicate glass does not conduct heat, making for a cooler, smoother smoke.

FOREWORD by Tee Corinne:

In 1973 I set out to do drawings of women's genitals for use in sex education groups. I wanted the drawings to be lovely and informative, to give pleasure and affirmation. I organized the drawings into a coloring book because a major way we learn to understand the world, as children, is by coloring. As adults many of us still need to learn about our external sexual anatomy. Coloring is a way for the child in each of us to revision and reclaim this portion of our bodies from which we have been estranged.

The Cunt Coloring Book, published in 1975, was immediately and wildly popular, although many people complained about the "awful" title. Three printings later, in 1981, the title was changed to Labiaflowers and the book virtually died. So much for euphemisms. Welcome once again to the Original Cunt Coloring Book (with a few additions). May you color it with pleasure. 

Call me a romantic, but they look more like friendly Labiaseashells than flowers to me.

Our bodies, ourselves are about 65% water. When we're floating in our mamas' bellies (in amniotic fluid, about 98% water), our mamas feel extra nice floating in a warm bath tub, relaxing their muscles and enjoying. Blessings on the floating babes, the floating mamas, and blessings on the water that floats us! Lisa Foti-Straus drew the sketch for this card one evening, sketching a pregnant sister-friend in the tub. A good one to give to mama's in wait. Emily Johnson printed them with a rainbow hued split fountain on an OG letterpress at EMprint Press, at YU, in Portland, Oregon. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper.

"Hana 'i'o ka haole!"The foreigner does it in earnest! Neither strictly born on a Hawaiian island nor genetically Hawaiian, our nonetheless Hawaiian Lili designed "Go Stay Stay Go," honoring the moon, the mountains upon, and the sea that surrounds those paradises. A persimmon hue was selected for the backside and a fine gold powder was mixed in so that if you look carefully, these beauties shine. Emily Johnson printed these cards with love and expertise on an OG letterpress at EMprint Press, at YU, in Portland, Oregon. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper.

A dreamy pillowcase to inspire sweet dreams. Standard-size (that's 17" x 24"), envelope-style (with an 8" pocket). Very dark green "Boobs" printed on fancy 230 thread count Pima cotton. Sewn here in San Francisco, California. Sold individually. 

"Boobs" has made the leap to paper in a tiny-kind with a major delight result. United Colors of Boobs! Once Cass went up to Portland for a week of printing with the expert Emily Johnson and this was the first plate to hit the press. Previously, "Boobs" had only been printed as a large-scale silkscreen on fabric, using just one color at a time, and they wanted to play with as many colors as possible for these letterpress prints. Inconceivably, Em had never experimented with split fountain inking on her press, so they were both learning new tricks as they went along. These cards were printed on Em's vintage Miehle letterpress, at EMprint Press, at YU. The size of the cards is 6" x 6" square. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper. Gravel & Gold is donating the proceeds from these cards to the worthy La Leche League of Northern California and Hawaii. We're hoping to share the boob positivity more more more!

"I am Nut, and I have come so that I may enfold and protect you from all things evil." -The Egyptian Book of the Dead Nut, her body covered covered in stars, is the Egyptian sky goddess, the constant mother, friend and protector of the dead. She provides order to the cosmos out of chaos. In the beginning, she lay on top of the earth god Geb, continuously laying on him. From this union, she gave birth to Osiris, god of the afterlife, Isis, goddess of nature and magic, Set, god of chaos, and Nephythys, the home slice goddess. Her daily task is to ensure the safe passage of Ra, the sun god, swallowing him at dusk, passing him through her belly each night, and giving birth to him each morning. Cassie McGettigan designed this card, "Nut. It's a nice card for a friend! Emily Johnson printed these Nut cards and others with love and expertise on an OG letterpress at EMprint Press in Portland, Oregon. The size is 6" x 6" square. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper. 1274

A box of twelve colouring pencils, with an accompanying booklet about the psychology of colour, explaining the association between colours and moods.

Many of us haven't owned a nice box of coloured pencils since we were children. Yet no adult life should be without one, because having a suite of hues at our fingertips provides a route to a wide array of moods and inspirations.

This box knows that colours are connected to the chords of our souls.

The set includes a booklet about the psychology of colour, explaining how particular shades can link us to a range of memories and feelings.

You don’t have to be a designer or an artist to take an interest in the psychology of colour. When decorating at home, choosing a new item of clothing, or even taking notes at work or school – different colours bring out different sides of our personalities. These colouring pencils are a good way to explore the contours of your emotional life whilst making plans and reflecting on your feelings.
