that “documents a six-week trip Knisley and her mother took to Paris when each was facing a milestone birthday.” back cover I’m so envious of people that can draw! It was also cool to see places in Paris that I’ve been to through another writer’s eyes. She also includes lots of food in her travel journal, not surprising since Paris=food. The book made me hungry.
The second book Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design highlights the craft movement and many of the artists that I love online. There are too many great artists to list here but some of my favorite sites were highlighted.
If N’ Books & Marks
My Paper Crane
Jenine Bressner Fireworks!
The Small Object
EKRA
Knitta
There are so many more inspiring creative artists so the book is definitely worth the read. Then it reminded me I never posted about another craft artist/Goddard student I met in Vermont. If you find yourself in Burlington, Vermont stop by! Or you can buy their goods on etsy.com
The Bobbin
Today, visit the websites of these wildly creative people and perhaps get inspired to make your own art. Now get back to work!
Lovingly,
