Goodbye i heart...

Hello Wolf Bones.

Friday 5 August 2011

Design our new logo!

There's some exciting things happening behind the scenes of i heart... just now, ones that can't be revealed, just yet. We will tell you soon though, you know how bad we are at keeping secrets!

However, we can reveal that we will be changing our name. i heart... will be no more! We came up with the name i heart... never imagining that we would transform into a massive smorgasbord of craft workshops, projects, events, online eco-shops... Never in our wildest dreams. But we're damn proud that we have. So we think it's time to change our name to fit who we are now & will continue to be in the future.

We will soon transform & be known as Wolf Bones.

Like it? We do. A random name, you may think. But, did you know that wolf bones are used to find out environmental changes in the Earth's climate? Like tree rings. And as you know, we're all about helping the planet. Plus bones are at the core of our bodies and connect & work together to make something awesome. Which is what we aim to do - encourage people to use their raw creativeness to collaborate & create amazing things. Plus, we like wolves. They are nice.

With a new name comes a new logo. And guess what? Yes, that's right, we'd like you to design it!
As with all our projects, anyone is welcome to take part, whether you're a professional artist or someone that just likes doodling on the edges of the newspaper.



Guidelines:
  • The logo must include the text 'Wolf Bones'.
  • Entries must be in by 15th August.
  • Feel free to experiment and be as random as you like in your design, but if you're struggling remember our organisation is all about being eco-friendly, making the arts accessible to all & encouraging collaboration.
Send your submissions to hello@wolfbones.com for the chance to win a £30 gift voucher to use on anything in our online eco-shop as well as lots & lots of exposure. We'll pimp you out big time.

Cannot wait to see what you come up with!

i heart...

I Build Collapsible Mountains.

By far one of my favourite musicians & also one of my favourite people, so I'm very happy to say that we're featuring him - the lovely Luke Joyce (who also happens to be an awesome photographer, e-mail him with requests) on our website this month.

The track 'Face Of Thunder Grin' comes from his upcoming album 'Spectator & The Act' which will be released through American label Burning Building Records on the 11th October. I've been lucky enough to have a wee listen to the other album tracks too & by Jove your ears are in for a treat.

I Build Collapsible Mountains will be playing in the GoNorth Tour stage at the Wickerman festival this weekend, so if you're going make sure to pop in for a listen & if not head on over to our website & have a listen now!

If you would like your music to be featured on our website, send your tunes to our Soundcloud dropbox.

Stationery Love

i heart...

stationery.

I love it. I get scarily excited about buying new stationery. It was the favourite part of the year when I was younger, the once a year trip to Inverness to get the back to school necessities. Oh, the butterflies I would get picking out my pencil case & pencils & pens & highlighters & tipex...
This love continued onwards as I grew upwards, moving onto unique cards, diary and letter writing-like stationery goods and of course a good pen every now & then.

Well, my love & excitement for stationery is still as strong as ever and I am super happy about a whole bunch of new eco-friendly products we've just added to the stationery section of our online eco-shop. Eee! Here's some of my very favourites...


Bicycle Stationery Set


Instant Comfort Pocket Box DIY Kit


Poor Thing Card


Hooray! You Tied The Knot Card


Bird & Cage Stamp Kit

There's a whole heap more too, head on over to our online eco-shop for a look-see.
