all we have to say today is… step away from the computer for a few minutes, get up and go vote! It’s our duty, and quite frankly, you’re not allowed to complain about a single thing unless you make your voice heard by casting your vote. It doesn’t take that much time and it’s so important. Go do it….go on….
We’re thrilled to be bringing you another brilliant Getting Crafty post by our girl, Laura Parke! We’re pretty obsessed with this great idea for displaying photos. This is a perfect and creative way to show off those first year month-by-month photos so many of us have taken. Love the idea of displaying them all at once so you can have a daily reminder of all those cute stages. As Laura points out, there are endless possibilities for this project. Thanks, Laura, for the idea!
Materials: Muffin tin, 1 3/4″ paper punch, photos or prints to be trimmed, 12 craft paints in various colors, white spray paint suitable for metal, and a paint brush.
Now who doesn’t get a little nostalgic thinking about making a paper plane? It’s a childhood classic! And those of us with our own kids now must know there will be many a paper plane in our future if not already!
Well, get this, a group of artists from the group Little Paper Planes (yeah, we’re assuming the concept of the book derived from their name, too) have collaborated on a beautifully illustrated activity book filled with constructible paper doll airplanes, plane mobiles, mix-and-match gliders, and more. Yep, they are taking our notebook paper planes up juuuust a few notches!
Chronicle Books continues to inspire us with the products they put out and this is no exception!!
Read the full description below and get your book here:
Featuring work from rising stars and indie darlings from the aptly named artists’ collective littlepaperplanes.com, including Gemma Correll, Michael Hsiung, Julia Rothman, Alyson Fox, and Lisa Congdon, these patterns take the paper plane to a whole new level. Printed on perforated pages for easy removal and assembly, the planes are accompanied by instructions, artist interviews, and loads of cool visuals. From paper doll planes and shark planes to plane mobiles and mix-and-match gliders, this delightful collection is jam-packed with creative ideas sure to launch the imagination into flight.
Kelly Lynn Jones is a San Francisco–based artist and founder of littlepaperplanes.com, an online community that helps emerging artists from around the world share the art they create.
ahhhhhh!! how amazing are these?!! Sanna Annukka just launched a brand new online store! We are obsessed with these three new limited edition silk-screen prints, hand printed by Sanna herself! The new range; Lapinlintu, Karelianlintu and Saimaanlintu are fantastical birds based on Sanna‘s much loved areas of Finland. The pennies are going in the piggy bank now, we must own one of these birds one day!
