papernstitch

Have you heard of papernstitch? It’s a little showcase of handmade items curated by Brittni and designed by Jeff. They both deserve a lot of credit because the site is beautiful and impressively simple to use.

Here’s a peek at my shop. Be sure to look at all the other wonderful exhibitors this month; I’m especially excited about Allison Cole, Nosideup, Mati Rose, and Selflesh.

A new look

My website has needed a sprucing up for a while, and today it all came together, finally! Hope you like it.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me by buying my prints! I’m constantly working to keep the store stocked with new prints, so be keeping an eye out.

Website spruce-up

Kid-friendly

I’m super-busy, but I still wanted to drop a post here to share a couple exciting news-es:

  • The adorably hip LMNOP Magazine has featured me in Issue Four. LMNOP is a free quarterly PDF magazine for hip, stylish parents and their children. :)
  • I’m a finalist in Etsy’s Handmade Kids Challenge- in two categories! Vote for me and enter yourself to win some sweet prizes. My Tree Stump Stool is in the furniture category, and the Happy Day banner is in home decor.

Unifying images

I’m very excited to be working on a project for a talented woman named Sarah Salerno Thomas. More info to come, but for now I’d like to just share a few of the images I’ve been working on. Sarah does interactive performances with children in schools, museums, and libraries across the Northeast. The photos she has collected from her different performances vary slightly in lighting conditions, exposures, and image quality. This is fairly standard issue, and it can be a challenge to find a way to unify an array of images.

For Sarah’s project, I’ve chosen to overlay the images with colored drops of paint. It creates a playful, exciting result. I love this technique and hope to be able to use it often- it’s a very satisfying way to incorporate your hand into digital work.
