Studio Tour and Why Paper Still Matters

by lorendoolittle

Did you ever want to see a bit more of our studio in Newton, Massachusetts?  Did you ever want to hear our voices speaking about the care and craftsmanship that goes into every Felix Doolittle item?  Were you curious how the name Felix Doolittle came to be?  Did you need to hear another reason why paper isn’t dead?

Well, take a look at this 2 minute video created by nice guy, Andrew Eldridge who works at the local TV station, NewTV.  We donated several sets of note cards for their charity auction, and they in turn produced this fabulous little video to accompany the giveaway.  Thoughts…. besides that I look nervous and Felix looks so natural?

Click here to see the Video of Felix and I at the studio or watch below.

Letter-a-day inspiration: The Hand Written Letter Project

by alicedoolittle

Welcome to Day 2 of our Letter-A-DayProject!

 

Today, we would like to share another bit of handwritten letter inspiration – the Hand.Written.Letter.Project!  This ongoing project invites designers, creative thinkers and others to submit a handwritten letter. In an era that is increasingly overtaken by impersonal and electronic communication, his project showcases the individual fingerprint (and smudges!) of handwritten correspondence.

The project creator states, “There is always something nice about receiving a letter, especially these days when email, text, status updates, and tweets, dominate our communication, leaving many to lose sight of the things that have been around for a while (like ink and paper). However, it is important that they do not.”

Needless to say, we agree wholeheartedly!

Please let us know how your own Letter Writing Project is going.  We are so excited so many of you are joining us!

Ask Felix

by alicedoolittle

What are your hobbies and interests outside of Felix Doolittle?

I love fishing, looking for salamanders, turtles, and fish- otherwise known as swamp-hopping. I love making models, miniature gardens, and habitats for creatures that I’ve kept. I love going to the bookstore, library, a good magazine shop with European magazines, and looking for all manner of visual inspiration.

Do you have any pets?

Newts, turtles, fish, and two kittens that despite their given names are often referred to as Rascal #1 and Rascal #2.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading all kinds of art books including A Genius for Place, American Landscapes of the Country Place Era, The Art of Ponyo, A film by Hiyao Miyazaki and Steinberg at The New Yorker. I’m also reading a number of business books from the Steve Jobs biography to The Lean Start Up.

What’s for dinner?

Chicken under a brick by Loren. Steamed sea bass by me.

How would you describe Felix Doolittle in 3 words?

Beauty, care, and passion!
