One of my favorite things about etsy is that it has opened the door to some really fun custom projects. This is a collection of photo mats I created for a customer in Oregon. My favorite is the mat with two openings (on the right in the photo above and on the left in the photo below).
Today is the start of American Craft Week -- a week so big it actually lasts ten days. Here's what they have to say about crafts in America:
American Craft enriches our homes, wardrobes, offices and public spaces. It contributes to our nation's economy, our balance of trade, and the fabric of our national history. It is original, beautiful and enduring, so let's tell the world!
Amen! I turned the corner on my cold during the night and am hoping I feel up to taking the kids to the Textile Center tomorrow for their textile play day. Have a great weekend!
LOVE the photo mats you did!! WOW!! Thanks for sharing!
