Play + Imagine (April 2016)

April's tee is a fun collaboration with talented artist and seamstress, Jessica Near of Opposite of Far. It features three of her fabulous mask designs printed on a navy tee in white and metallic gold ink.

"This design was a collaborative work between me and an illustrator friend, Candice McDonald of Cordial Kitten. I described to Candice that I wanted paper masks made from my actual mask designs, but with more whimsical detail added that I can't add in felt. She is incredible at illustrating and ended up sending me absolutely beautiful drawings of my mask designs! Then together with the Curated Tee team, we arranged the drawn masks into the playful and fun design you see on the tee!"

We also worked with Betsy Petersen (our November tee designer) for help with hand lettering the words spelled out using the masks strings. It really was a collaborative affair this month!

In conjunction with each month’s tee we also email a digital download for you to print out and work on with your little one. It includes a full-page reproduction of the month's design AND extension activities based around the image and art style. Each tee will also come with a fun little craft kit for your Curated Kid to create their own mask with.
