Winter Cabin X American Museum of Natural History

My online shop Winter Cabin Collection had the chance to create a special product for the American Museum of Natural History's Gift Shop for the Etsy collaboration. Winter Cabin Collection is a collaboration between myself and Man Vs Ink. It was so fun to see the products we made at the gift shop at the museum. 

Client: American Museum of Natural History x Etsy

Gather, Observe, Ponder

We also created these banners to go with the bandana. The illustration in the corner was inspired by look at the archives of birds.

sketches 

I wanted to include as much of the exhibits of the museum as possible. These are my favorites and everything was sketched on site at the museum. 

Teddy roosevelt

I chose this quote from Theodore Roosevelt because it really spoke to me about the importance of preservation and felt it worked really well with the museum.

We had the opportunity to tour the archives at the American Museum of Natural History. We met with folks from the rare book archives, Mineralogy, and drawers and drawers of birds. These are my notes from the tour, I used a lot of the detials I picked up from the tour in the designs of our products.
