About the designer:
Jacob Vaughn Gushue is a 28 year old artist/designer hailing from Boston, MA who runs a one-man silk screening and leatherworking shop called Project TransAction. Jacob earned his undergraduate Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with Distinction from Massachusetts College of Art in 2003, where he studied in a unique program called Studio For Interrelated Media (S.I.M.) Since then, he has shown in two indie film festivals (Flaming Film Festival and Pawtucket Film Festival,) a number of political poster shows (including Paper Politics and internationally acclaimed Yo! What Happened to Peace?,) co-produced a series of rock/mixed media art shows with Form Productions, and most recently worked on graphic design and tech for Homo A Gogo 2009.
Jacob created Project TransAction in August 2006 as an idea based around bartering and re-use. Over time it evolved to become what it is today: a shop featuring a unique combination of custom screenprinting and handmade leatherwork. Jake designs and hand-crafts each and every item with careful attention to detail, and in the most earth friendly way possible. He selectively works with other progressive companies to create affordable, long lasting, and thought provoking goods that people can feel confident investing in.
Project TransAction is currently based in San Francisco, CA.

About the designer:
Jewelry-making reflects my creative vision. I strive to create unique, dramatic, upscale jewelry — made with passion. I scour the world seeking superior, unique materials -the absolute best available.
At times, although they may not consist of superior materials, fabulous vintage components are incorporated into my designs. I utilize them because their character supersedes my desire to exclusively use such materials.
My inspiration comes from the materials I use: contour, texture, color. I keep myself surrounded by gorgeous stones and pearls…..they can almost make themselves into great pieces!

Try as I might I just couldn’t bring myself to pick out a bunch of snuggly, cuddly woolly warm bits and pieces because down here in the Southern Hemisphere we’re just coming into spring and my thoughts are full of lemonade and sunshine. Tights are banished, boots are relegated to the back of the cupboard, overcoats are out of sight and out of mind, and all I want is a go anywhere dress, some sandals and a shot of pure hot yellow to match the light of our fiercely burning sun.
The Luba dress (or oversized t-shirt if you’re a very tall sort of person) from CUT-IT-OUT is exactly the kind of throw it on and dash out the door piece which will take an Aussie mama like me from beach to playground to beer garden and back again without losing my cool. I can hardly wait to wriggle my little flipper feet in the sand at my beloved Bondi beach, but that sand can get egg fryingly hot so a pair of yolk yellow sandals are downright essential – these ones from Ricardo Tovar are just the ticket to save me from fried feet in fine style.
When I’m out amongst the waves body bashing (that’s bodysurfing for all you non-Australian types) a bikini can be a bit of a flight risk, but a one piece like this snappy Jerry Hall style crocodile swimsuit from Black Heart Bunny will keep me covered (and uncovered) in all the right places. Having a toddler in tow means I rarely get to travel light, but when I get the chance to run off on my own for a few hours I like to take the smallest purse I can find – this yellow Garden Path clutch from Peep Accessories is small but perfectly formed – and that bunny will make my little boy smile too.
When the sky is a clear intense blue day after day it’s easy to forget that there could ever be a grey rainy day – but without those cloudy days the blue skies would never be so sweet. The Stone Cloud ring from Emily Watson is a smooth cool reminder to never take the sunshine for granted. – Skye Cassidy editor of Skylark and Son
