The folks from the newly launched Worship Museum had a little kick-off studio sale just down the block from me over the weekend, and there were lots of little treasures to be found.  While much of the product I spied this weekend isn’t yet up online, I’m sure they’ll be updating regularly with new additions.

David Yochim’s drawings (above) remind me a bit of Chad VanGaalen’s animations, what with all the hands growing from unlikely places.  Drawing should never go out of style; I aim to start investing in some quality hand-sketched goods to adorn my walls.  My neighbour, who happens to be an editor for online arts rag Skewed Magazine, is excellent at leaving me delightfully weird gifts like this.

I picked up this wicked little tank from The Black Cat Audition with all sorts of magical things on it.  Asking people which one of the pictures they would get tattooed on themselves has proved to be a fun little game (me: the quill and ink…though the magnet is a tempting second choice).  Am now seriously considering getting one of these little iconic gems actually tattooed on myself.

Great jewelery from Sleep Standing Up (pictured above) and Anita Sikma was available at the sale as well – I would have purchased pieces from both of these talented designers if my wallet had allowed for it!

And finally, what’s a shopping excursion without the perfect bag…Ora Recycled Leather Bags convert used leather garments into fashionable and practical satchels.  I’m slightly obsessed with the Bobby Bag, pictured above.

Keep your eyes on The Worship Museum for great gifts and knick-knacks weaned from the calloused hands of some of Vancouver’s most talented creators.
