One of our contributing writers, Megan Eckman (hello Megan!), wrote me about her new work over at her studio, Studio M.M.E.. I went over to have a peek, and loved what I found.
Megan has teamed up with Catherine (Cat) Ivins of Polarity, transforming her artwork into magnetized art necklaces that you can change on a whim.
Isn't it great when two very talented individuals work together in collaboration? When each one has their own set of skills, their coming together fuses them and a new creation emerges that may not have been possible otherwise. I find it very alluring and truly in the spirit of indie.
As I begin to reflect on working on STYL(mag) as a full time job (and it has slowly started to sink in), I thought of the many mags and blogs out there already in existence and in full force, some of which I personally enjoy reading myself. I do like to think of them as my colleagues rather than competition.
Wouldn't you like to see your favorite shops and designers teaming up with one another, or do you know any who are already doing so and creating products that just wows you? If you're a business owner yourself, would a collab suit your business approach?
I think Cat has summed it up really well in her Etsy Featured Seller interview.
"...the positive response in my Polarity shop for my new artist series of lockets has amazed me. Promoting and supporting other artists has a way of working its way back to you in surprising ways."
