Dustin McNa at Fashion Denver’s summer fashion market BOUNCE!

Dustin McNa is a local Denver, Colorado artist whose works will be featured this Sunday, June 3rd at Bounce! Fashion Denver’s Summer Market.  He creates handmade and hand bleached bags with signature works painted on them.  Because his works are individual and have a signature style, many designs are unmatched and very rarely are there any reproductions with exception to gallery shows and t-shirt designs.  Coming from a family of artists, McNa is self-taught and he loves to be creative and tries to push the idea of what art is and how it is seen to the masses.  He works with customers and listens to their wants while providing his input alongside the customer to make a one-of-a-kind piece.

Studio Yanagi at Bounce!

Studio Yanagi

In some traditions the willow has long been regarded as a powerful symbol for dreams and intuition, which is why Matt Gushee, of Studio Yanagi decided to use it as the symbol for his company.  Yanagi is the Japanese name for the willow tree, which inspires Gushee’s intuitive and spontaneous design process.  Designs from Studio Yanagi will be featured this Sunday on June 3rd at Fashion Denver’s Summer Market Bounce! at the Grant-Humphreys Mansion.

In Gushee’s jewels, you can see his inspiration of early-20th-century architectural motifs, spiritual symbolism, plants and animals.  His fascination of spirals is also apparent in his collection.  There are a variety of metals and stones that are incorporated into the pieces of Studio Yanagi, such as sterling silver, copper, amethyst and agate.  You can purchase Studio Yanagi jewelry at its Etsy shop:http://www.etsy.com/shop/studioyanagi.  Be sure to also check out Studio Yanagi’s collection of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces this Sunday!… Read more!
