owly shadow puppets! ok, not only are andrea’s laser-cut shadow puppets and kits amazing, but she also does a snarky valentine’s collection that cracks me up. smart humor + meticulous craftsmanship gets me every time.
apparently one of these has made it’s way to the white house…
more smart humor and meticulous craftsmanship…
sighn is my new craft-crush of this trip. i’d seen his “its ok” pieces online and thought they were interesting, but once i saw a few of his pieces around amy and dawn’s apartment i was impressed. then dawn tells me they’re not laser-cut but done one by one with a scroll saw. what?! all new respect. the little orange lettered piece below is 2″ x 3″!!!
saturday morning i marched up to the itsokadia booth to introduce myself and take photos. even cooler, i got to invade his studio that night and see and learn more about his whole process, camera in hand, as well as meet his wife and dog! i’ve posted my sighn studio tour on flickr.
