I’m rapidly realizing that I’m into papercutting. It takes the ability to visualize parts becoming a whole and I’m really into that kind of foresight and the people that have that ability — it’s one I lack.

Such a small world moment here today — I was looking at a beautiful papercut of a big ball of yarn admiring it and the skill of its maker, Erin Dollar, only to then read her Etsy profile to learn she’s also behind I Made You a Beard, which I believe I saw and met […]

She owns a letterpress upon which she makes amazing cards and stationary inspired by animals – real and imaginary – I think.

Another of the vendors at the Renegade Craft Fair that I was excited to find and get to know was Marilyn Brogan of Meander. I love her slightly obsessive drawings that focus on multiples of dots, circles, lines etc. The above is called her Stack piece. I love how it looks like cartoon waves almost. […]

Also at Cite the other weekend, I stumbled upon Niels van Eijk and Miriam van der Lubbe – turns out their work extends so far beyond the handgun purse that was there I almost want to separate this into multiple posts but I’m going to try one! I love how the above are like apartment […]
