hello whipup gang.
i am so late with my monthly post but was waiting for something to hit me and today it did. in new york right now the Stationery Show is going on and i thought we could all spend a bit of time ooooh-ing and aaaah-ing over all of the amazing paper arts that are out there. since i can’t be at the show i am taking most of these inspirations from grace’s amazing posts this week … be sure to check out her blog for more complete information … i’m just giving some call outs!
at first you think … well what can you do with cards that has not been done already?! but everyone has a vision and it has been so fun to see what is going on out there in more of the larger market and how that might inspire those of us who might be in a smaller market. some of my favorite inspirations from graces’s posts:
pancake & franks
saturate
hammerpress
herman yu
foxy and winston
binth
good on paper
and then a few call outs to some who were not mentioned but whom i admire:
etui
chiemitti
pink bathtub
abby tries again
posy press
and so i leave you to check it all out and if you want, leave your favorite paper artist in the comments. i know there are many, many more whom i have forgotten and i will be kicking myself once i hit “post” … have a lovely & inspired day! until next month, mav

I first became a fan of Anne Black, a Danish ceramics designer, when Design Sponge posted about her work. The shapes are beautiful, often with a very simple silkscreened pattern like a dotted line or a starburst. What really kills me is her jewelry line, though. Like these bracelets:
and necklaces:
There are also brooches and earrings. More of her work at Tivoli Home (where I got the pictures) and Greener Grass Design, among other places.

Actually Knitty has three surprise patterns this time. First up is the wild skirt pictured here that is knit in sections and joined with a three needle bind-off — pretty nifty construction! There is also an adorable and quick baby top and whimsical felted tea cosy. A little something for everyone.
