In early June I got to spend a week at Ranger Ink. It was so great to go there and meet all the people who work so hard to make Dina Wakley Media products, as well as all of the other fabulous Ranger products. I got to meet the awesome art department, production, plus lots of other staff. What many people don't know is that Ranger manufactures its inks and paints and mediums right in the production facility in New Jersey. It's so fun to see the factory lines running and everything being made and packaged. Really impressive and cool.<\/p>\n

I got to be there with Tim Holtz <\/a>and Mario Rossi<\/a>, which made it SO fun. They showed me the ropes, and we laughed and ate and laughed. Sprinkles, anyone? (inside joke…).<\/p>\n

Here are a few highlights:<\/p>\n

Mario was kind enough to follow me around the factory and get pictures of me next to my products. Here are my paint labels:<\/p>\n

Here are my stamps, ready to be sent out for orders:<\/p>\n

Here is a big barrel of Turquoise paint, ready to go to the tube filler.<\/p>\n

Empty tubes, waiting to be filled:<\/p>\n

I just need one of everything. Or two. Or a hundred.<\/p>\n

I taught a quick class to the art department, we had fun and made a mess! Pics are from Mario:<\/p>\n

We decided to get ice cream and walked into Carvel 5 minutes before it closed. Oh boy, that started an obsession. We went every night. Mmm, Sprinkles. Hey, look at that giant fudgie on the wall!<\/p>\n

\"Ranger<\/a><\/p>\n

We had some good meetings about upcoming releases. I am so excited about what is in the works for Dina Wakley Media! Good things are ahead!<\/p>\n
