Zebra Pillow

Meet the newest member of our animal pillows, Charlie the Zebra.

BUY NOW.

Charlie is tired of being square, and wants to finally join the fun. Spruce up your couch with him.

This has been another collaboration between the Katherines, as I drew and screen printed Charlie and KWang sewed him into a pillow.

APE and new items

The show in SF this past weekend was hard work but in the end we're glad we did it! It was a great way to get our name out there.

Space Lynx T-shirts were a hit as well as some of our housewares. Now that we're done with the show we're bringing you more cutesy oven mitts, aprons and pot holders just in time for the holiday season.

They make sweet gifts! http://www.etsy.com/shop/GlamKat

Let's Get Down to Business

Hey there! It's been a while, I missed you too. I recently came back from a trip to the Louisiana swamps inspired to make wooden cutouts in the shape of alligators. Most people seem to like things that function (go figure) so this alligator can hold up to 30 business cards. It is laser cut with plywood and hand-painted with acrylics. Great for trade shows, your store, or your desk.

Also available as a dachshund in brown and black!

Space Lynx Tee

Lynus the Lynx goes to space! The last time we met up with Lynus, he was trying to woo some wild cats. He’s past that now, and has his eyes set on meeting new life forms. Join him on his journey!

This original design is screen printed with water based inks on Alternative Apparel t-shirts. The tees are fitted, so none of that baggy sleeve stuff.

Big thanks to our lovely models Katherine Wang (that's one half of GlamKat) and Tamon!

Blood Tears Collection

Indulge in your romance novel fantasy. Keep this Twilight-inspired jewelry near your swiftly beating heart or close to your jugular vein as homage to your own Edward. Each blood-red tear is custom-ordered and handcrafted by contributing artist Nicholas deSomov.

Special effects designer and vampire enthusiast deSomov comes from a long line of traditional glass blowers. For this limited collection, he selected a particular type of Borosilicate glass endowed with special properties that magically turn crimson when exposed to flame.

What better gift to give your Valentine than a symbol of eternal love? Comes as either earrings or a pendant on a silk cord.

BUY NOW.

Retro Futuristic Jewelry and Coasters

Valentine's Day is around the corner! Treat that special someone or hells, yourself to some new jewelry and coasters!

I've always loved the way the past depicted the future with its geometric shapes and minimal frames. This jewelry is a nod to the Retro Futuristic movement, and I think is a product of watching too much Mad Men followed by Tron.






The Hexa and Poly necklaces are laser-cut from colored acrylic and fastened with gunmetal chains.

BUY NOW.

Okay, so you don't wear jewelry. Well, I know you do drink. Here are some colorful Tetra Coasters with tessellations etched into acrylic. I didn't pay enough attention in chemistry class, but patterns of all those compounds has resurfaced onto these coasters.

BUY NOW.

Happy Valentines!

Let's Get Cozy

Our home decor line is up and running! Let's get cozy with these two pillows.

Pillow Idgie is exhausted from her run around America. She's traveled from DC to Alaska and is happy to be home. If you missed her adventures, you can still catch them HERE.

This Victorian Chair Pillow will remind you to Sit. Take a breather. Sitting idly is not only reserved for the Victorian era.

It's been a true collaboration between the Katherines, as I created the digital illustrations and handed them off to KWang, who turned them into pillows with her sewing prowess.

Thanks to the real life Idgie for modeling, and to her owner Tien for letting us shoot in her awesome kitchen.

BUY NOW.

Art Deco Jewelry

We're baaaack. Our shop is now OPEN. We've been hibernating for too long and its time to share our new line. First off is a winter collection of jewelry inspired by the geometric style of the Art Deco movement. This collection was made for the career gal in mind. Your cubicle may be stuffy, but your jewelry doesn't have to be. These necklaces are light and delicate, lazer-cut on birch wood and fastened with a brass chain.

New Stuff!

Big news! Not only is GlamKat back we're also moving forward with our brand-new home decor line. Check our Etsy store soon for the goodies (also perfect as holiday gifts). And KChiu has released line of custom jewelry for the career woman. We're keep you posted as soon as our store is updated!

SNEAK PEEK

On the Road

Our unofficial GlamKat mascot Idgie, the foxy dog, is currently traveling up Route 66 and hitting up the iconic (and not so iconic) landmarks of this great nation. She's going to space, rolling with bandits in Missouri and making a splash in Oklahoma. Follow her journey at http://idgieacrossamerica.tumblr.com/ to see where she shows up next!

Patchwork Festival

This past weekend, GlamKat was feeling crafty and headed out to the Patchwork Indie Arts and Crafts Festival in Long Beach. We helped celebrate (by buying, not selling yet) Patchwork's 9th event of bringing independent goods to the marketplace. There were lots of knitted animals, industrial-looking necklaces, and fun pillows all labored with love, spawning the reaction, wait you mean you made that? With your bare hands??

With friend (and model for GlamKat) Christina Kuo.

I can relate.

There will be another festival in the fall and hopefully you will see our frazzled yet smiling faces behind a booth.

Lynus the Lynx

Overheard conversation at the Kitty Lounge.

“I’m Lynus the Lynx, nice to meet you. Do you come here often? Yeah, that’s right. I see you checking out my paws. These huge guns help me plow through the cold snow. No, I don’t work out that often, just twice a day to catch a deer or two. I’m a transplant, originally from Alaska. I love it here, so many glam wild cats like yourself. I got a litter at home, some six young, but they fend for themselves. So slide me those digits, Kitty. I’ll be seeing you. Wait, why are you strolling away? Was it something I said?”

Lynus needs a little help. He needs a home and a sweet caretaker like yourself to nurture him and teach him how to be a kitty’s lynx (i.e. ladies' man). I personally like him better when he’s Space Lynx, like below:

Tame his wild side. Take him home today.

GlamKat Adventures

Some of you may have noticed that one of the GlamKats has been conspicuously M.I.A. for the last few weeks. Fortunately things have settled down a bit and I can start thinking about creating new items for GlamKat again. But until then, here's a photo montage of a recent GlamKat adventure! We got to hang out with our favorite Metblogger Queequeg who wrote a great piece on KChiu.

The itinerary: Silverlake Farmer's Market for some grub, UniqueLA Downtown for some important GlamKat market research, Tinlark Gallery in Hollywood where some of KChiu's art was featured among other works of awesomeness.


We need sustenance! Fueling up for the GlamKat day of adventure.









Great booths at UniqueLA!













There were some great pieces at the Tinlark including KChiu's huge Patagonia painting, transient artwork and a very Zen looking stuffed lion. Plus our Victorian kitty found an owner. Woot!
