Introducing, Crayon Box - uhuui's Debut Collection!

In addition to running uhuui and working as a freelance designer, I moonlight as a waitress to make ends meet.  The inspiration for this very first collection actually came from the restaurant I work in.


On top of the table linens, we put white butcher paper down.  The paper serves two main purposes - it helps keep the linens cleaner longer and it provides a drawing surface for antsy children as they wait for their food.


I remember the first time I cleared away the dirty plates,  cups and balled up napkins to reveal a rainbow of scribbles.  They were wildly free, visceral, and beautiful.  I don't know that I can articulate well what it is exactly about kids drawings that I love so much, but it was love at first sight.  I couldn't bear to throw them out, so I started taking the drawings home with me.


All of the artwork I created for the collection is very simple, just crayon on white paper.  I wanted it to be fun and sweet.  There are four main fabrics to the collection:

Circles and Dots

Colored Rings

Blue Scribbles

Crayon Stripes

I am proofing one more print for the collection and creating a few other colorways for the Scribbles fabrics so that there are lots of options for coordinates!
