A children’s book for the youngest: marvel, learn to count and let your imagination be stimulated! In German.
With the Quirky Carrots children’s book, children learn the names of different types of fruit and vegetables. The book is an ode to the quirky fruits and unique vegetables. Anyone who has ever worked in the garden knows: Nature does not produce uniformity. They also learn to recognize and name shapes and colours, they can count how many Quirky Carrots there are on a page and it stimulates the imagination: because do you actually see a kiwi or a butterfly?!
The cover is wrapped in a poster, do you see what it is?
The book is designed by Jelle F. Post. The production is in The Netherlands, to ensure good working conditions and a process that is as environmentally friendly as possible. There is no use of volatile substances during the production of the book and the inks are as much as possible plantbased.
For the little ones aged 0-4 years! Available in three languages Dutch “toffe peren”, German “Tolle Knolle” and in English “quirky carrots”
The odds & ends editions are produced in batches. The factory collects remainders and I use these colours to create a new design which is then produced. That exact design is only a start, along the production the left overs run out and are replaced with similar colours. Therefor the images you see in the photo’s are an indication of what the towels look like, but there’s small variations within the batch.
Recognize a Odds & Ends towel by it’s signature striped hem. Each item in the collection comes with this hem that is made on a jacquard machine.
The Odds & Ends textiles are produced in Portugal with 100% cotton industry remainders. That’s small batches of yarn that are left over from other productions.
Each item comes with a hang tag or sleeve designed by Rachel Sender. On the back you find more information about the project.

I made several designs with the idea that they get only more interesting if we use more colours, read: even the smallest remainders. The designs are produced in several similar colours and even within the edition there’s differences, because when colours run out they are replaced with new ones and that’s where coincidence takes over :D!
All items are designed to dry quickly and come with a label for hanging.
