I love bridges. One of my favorite past times while living in Brooklyn, was walking across ‘my‘ Brooklyn Bridge. Moving from a great east coast one (Brooklyn Bridge) to a great west coast one (Golden Gate), I’ve become really fond of the image in different house hold objects, jewelry, and stationary. Their iconic features now remind me of home, in two different cities. I’ve also included some objects from another bridge with really beautiful architectural features, little London Bridge. Here are some of my favorites!

Hand embroidery! Such an awesome craft and looks stunning! I really wish I had the patience to jump into this. I did a quick search and found some great tutorials here via crafttown and here via our friend, Martha.
Here are some beautiful samples for some experienced artists- all available on Etsy!

I am constantly in awe of all the amazing artists making some kick ass paper good/sculptures/art pieces. New People in SF’s Japantown opened fairly recently and their stationary dept has some pretty awesome DIY kits for those who want to give the art of paper a try. Take a look at some cool lil creatures and animals below.
For this past holiday (which feels like ages ago already!) I tried to get my craft on.
I made some necklaces and baked goods as gifts and decorated with cut paper. Always fun to de-stress during that hectic season with some therapeutic arts & crafts! My holiday card this year also featured a variation of my newest print, which is available on Etsy here! Happy New Year everyone!
