Some things I’ve come across online: essimar’s work with colors and x-acto knives, hand-stitched books by permanent crease bindery, and the quiet pages of an artists’ journal, elizabeth perry’s woolgathering.

And something that might be of interest to those of you who are more adept with sewing than I am: Greenjeans has posted a call for entries for a juried exhibition of small handmade quilts. The deadline for submissions is January 20th, which is coming up really quickly, but you can submit sketches and ideas if you don’t have a quilt on hand yet. You can find out more details here.

It’s a brilliant sun-filled morning over here in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to get to work (hopefully I’ll get a lot done before jetlag starts acting up in the afternoon). Hope you all are also enjoying the beautiful winter weather!
