Anna Giertz

I love Giertz’s work… it was hard to choose which prints to show, but I really like these three mask-like prints.

What a nice day- I have been coming across some very great portfolios after feeling rather uninspired for a while…

Carved, painted, stamped, and sewn

So this year we decided to make Christmas presents for our families.  My husband and I hand-carved stamps and then decided on three colours to use for our layers, and came up with layouts for each of them.  It was a really fun process…  we were clearly feeling inspired by Native-American patterns.   This is the design we ended up with:

And here’s a glimpse of our process…

Etsy find: Dutch Door- new prints

Just found that Dutch Door is doing letterpress prints of all 50 states birds and flowers paired up.  Charming idea… perhaps a good gift for someone you know?  Looks like so far they’ve released New York, California and Illinois.

Ruth Laskey

I love Ruth’s twill patterns.  Simple and beautiful textile design.  More designs and closeups on her site

By the way… thank you all for beginning to comment more!  It’s nice to get to know my readers a little better. 🙂
