Music from Epidemic SoundHow to use the Specimen Card Notebook by Peg and Awl #artPeg and Awl2022-08-13 | The world is bursting with magic, and for anyone looking it positively pulses! I collapse into my pillow – nearly daily – with my thirst for the world unquenched; books unread, things not drawn, conversations not had. It is like traveling to somewhere and not seeing everything, thereby loving the trip all the more for the possibilities of next time.
As we settled into the newness of the 5 Acre Wood after moving out of Philadelphia in 2018, Søren, Silas and I began investigating plants, creatures, mushrooms, rocks, and back of the fridge anomalies. It was a way to draw, write, and get to know, with a little more scrutiny, the beings sharing this world with us. What began as a homeschool adventure, is here now, as a notebook of 20 perforated cards for your observations or imaginings of the world around you, be it indoors or out!

Music via Epidemic SoundHow We Make the Scout Plein Air Pochade Box in our Philadelphia Workshop | Peg and AwlPeg and Awl2022-07-23 | #handmade The Scout Plein Air Box was inspired by our endeavor to make art every day. Each one is handmade in our Philadelphia workshop. It compactly secures all of your essential art supplies for painting outdoors. Fill your box with your favorite colors, paintbrushes, and sketchbook. Find your spot and quickly transform the box into a mini studio. Set it on a flat surface or mount it on a tripod, snap the liquid jars, brush holder, and easel in place, clip on your canvas and you are ready to paint. Watch our video showing how we make the Scout Plein Air Box!
Music via Epidemic SoundExpedition Cards by Søren Kent – Free Downloadable Project | Peg and AwlPeg and Awl2022-07-09 | #art It has been heartening to watch the evolution of Søren's journaling practice, from bland journal pages to documented expeditions – completely Søren-ed and so shareable. We’ve simplified his card design into a free downloadable PDF! Søren tested it out earlier this week on our local hiking adventure to Harmony Hill. As Søren flipped through his cards for my camera, he said, “It feels like I’m reliving all of this – even just glancing at each one.” If the purpose of a journal is to create a ritual, to reflect and document, to build writing and observation skills, and to have a place to go, then Søren has fulfilled these expectations, and I am overjoyed with his finding his own way!
Music: Strange Contraptions by Real Heroes (Epidemic Sound)Plein Air Oil Painting of the Mountain Landscape in Catskills, New York | Peg and AwlPeg and Awl2022-06-21 | #art We set out for Montreal a week ago, not knowing, as usual, what we’d see along the way.
The foggy first morning found Walter painting at the bottom of the mountains in the Catskills, NY.
"What is it? And shall I die before I find it? Then (as I was walking through Russell Square last night) I see the mountains in the sky: the great clouds; and the moon which is risen over Persia; I have a great and astonishing sense of something there, which is 'it' – it is not exactly beauty that I mean. It is that the thing is in itself enough: satisfactory; achieved. A sense of my own strangeness, walking on the earth is there too: of the infinite oddity of the human position; trotting along Russell Square with the moon up there, and those mountain clouds. Who am I, what am I, and so on." – Virginia Woolf

These vintage waxed canvas mini totes will be available in our upcoming Of a Kind collection. @pegandawlbuilt and I went on our first road trip together in 2008 and stopped at flea markets along the way. We found two old wooden cots (that I had to have) with thee magical stripy textiles. We ditched the wooden parts (I wish we hadn't!) and saved these for some future something. Here they are! I LOVE them. What do you think? PS: We are having a tiny colour battle. Is the stripe red or orange?

We've taken two favourite antique quilts (one is well-worn, soft, and frayed and the other, unfinished and crisp!) and transformed them into useful pouches lined with waxed canvas. These are often one-of-a-kinds – the textile patterns and designs used within one patchwork square are unique from another!
We've done our best to divide the pouches by similar qualities so you may have an idea of the one that will arrive on your doorstep, but if you love mystery, the green quilt especially will peak your interest. These pouches are perfect for art supplies, make-up, or anything else that needs organizing in your bag or on your desk – they're hard to be without and you can never have too many!

Music from Epidemic SoundHow to Adjust Leather Straps | Peg and AwlPeg and Awl2021-05-03 | This video walks you through the proper steps for detaching and attaching the leather shoulder strap and front closure on Peg and Awl bags. One of the key steps to speed up the breaking in process of leather is by simply twisting and rolling the leather to aid in the softening process.
As you use your bag the leather will naturally soften and become much easier to maneuver.

We decided to make a little video to respond to this question and share some of my favorite supplies. #art In this video, I am using our Orra Portrait Sketchbook (which fits nicely into our Sendak!). We use Strathmore Drawing Paper in all of our journals and sketchbooks, which we find to be very versatile. Here are some of my favourite things to make marks with... 1.
