Touch the Dutch is the Toronto-based design studio of Canadian Artist Anneke van Bommel. You may recall her work from our June 2009 issue, where we featured her moose antler rings. Her inspiration includes more than just moose, however. As she puts it, she is exploring “the themes of value, irony, memory, home, Canadiana, and the souvenir.” (She must be a cottager, or at least one at heart.)
Anneke sells her one-of-a-kind, limited production designs online through Etsy. (If you’ve never visited Etsy, go there! It has all kind of amazing stuff made by artists across North America.) Here are a few of her pieces:
Silhouette axe brooch, brushed nickel, $60
Silhouette beaver brooch, brushed nickel, $80
Take off, eh? “Hoser cosies” beer holders, made from vintage plaid fabric, $32
Bear high five artwork, wood grain vinyl, $32

As a stickler for both spelling and grammar, I would appreciate it very much if you could change the headline to include accurate spelling of the artist’s name. Peace out.

Egads! Thanks for pointing it out, and apologies to Anneke!
