RE:MAKE

Check out this sweet project from my friends over at MAKE: how to repurpose all of your old plastic bags into a messenger bag. I worked with these guys a few years ago on illustrations and design for MAKE, and I art directed the launch issue of their sister publication, CRAFT.

I’ve been traversing the scary world of taking up a new hobby. While knitting is useful, I’m not so good at it. How can I concentrate on a computer screen for 3 hours straight without getting up– while sitting down to knit I get cagey and frustrated after 20 minutes? Who knows. Still, the crafty, detaily hum of needlepoint has been more appealing. Right now I’m making an art deco monogram. I googled fashion patch, or something like that, and found this awesome crown. I am going to scour the craft books for new patterns. This new thing– for me– also reminds me of the piece I designed at Craft. We profiled Jenny Hart, her work is amaze. Check it out at Sublime Stitching.
