Pencil & TIE

Leave-It Notes
GIFT of the YEAR award shortlist  |  Stationery
Here's a fun way to leave a message! This is how it works; First, peel off a note. Write down your message or scribble a doodle on the back, so it stays a surprise (and a bit more private). Fold TIE upright and leave the note in a spot you'll know the receiver will find it. The notes are feather-light so be careful not to leave them next to an open window or a fan. Then Tie goes wiiiiiiiiii!!

Illusion
In these notes, we used a bit of an optical illusion so it looks like TIE is really holding on to your message for you. And if those cute, big eyes of his do not draw in the receiver, then sure its little message on top will;’ message for you’.

Instructions
1. Write a message
2. Fold upright
3. Leave-it

Inside-Out Sketch Books
We think this will be an instant classic from our Pencil & TIE lab. Lovely thick blank pages to draw on, these sketchbooks have double-sided covers, folded in two different ways. In short, we used one cover to create two sketchbooks. Never a dull moment in our lives, huh?

Detail
To create a nice set of these sketchbooks, we used contrasting yarn for the saddle stitch. So each sketchbook gets its twin with matching colour for the other one in this set. Let’s geek out!

Egg Salad
Do you love eggs too? They are just so iconic and one way or another they are always such a happy sight. Sunnyside up today!

Detail
We called this art print Egg Salad. Because it’s funny and it’s true. In Japanese culture, it’s not a rare sight to find a salad on the menu that is made of just one ingredient. It has to be a great one though, super fresh! Like out art cards, limited edition and fresh from the press.

Instructions
Is it a card or is it art? It is a card-sized art! it has the perfect size to stand alone or in a lovely frame. Small enough to display on your desk or in that little nook you have in your home. It fits about anywhere and anyplace in your home or office that just needs that little extra to brighten the day. And of course, you can send the Egg Salad someone’s way! Make a friend or family member happy with art sized as a card, logo embossed envelope included.

Big Eyes Bag
GIFT of the YEAR award shortlist  |  Craft & Design
This bag has it all and holds all. Made from amazing blue cotton, that is hand-dipped and sewn by hand too. It is a limited edition and numbered bag held by custom made yellow handles. For those already familiar with Pencil & TIE it's easy to spot the pockets, they are just really Tie’s big eyes.

Detail
The handles on this bag are slightly placed off-centre which makes it just that much easier to carry with or without any baggage in there. The colour is custom made and the material of the handles is extremely durable. Every bag is hand-dipped and therefore colour variations occur. We love that about this product, it’s all-natural after all. There's a small inside pocket for a phone, keys or tickets to a concert. And for the main part; Take it all with you, brushes, your sketches, or a baguette?

Instructions

Shibuya
The Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is one of those magical places. The tall buildings, the neon lights, 3000 pedestrians crossing at the same time when the lights turn green… wow.

Detail
As aspiring minimalists, we love a good graphic print. And who doesn’t need a bit of sparkle in their lives now and then? Are these strong lines and whimsical inks not the perfect marriage for this art card?

Hello
Pins carry your attitude. They are small tokens of your love for art, stationery or music. Pin them on your jacket or bag or on your cap if you have one. Be sure to make someone look.

Detail
This enamel accessory is outfitted with two 'pins' at the back, for maximum grip and stability. This way Pencil won’t have to do a backflip all the time. He gets seasick real quick.

Instructions
Be sure to remove the enamel pins before washing your garments or bag. Pencil is afraid in deep waters, and your garments might get damaged. We would certainly want to prevent such an event.
