ART VS CRAFT–PART TWO

Here's part two of my round-up of favourites from Saturday's Art vs Craft fair. Check out the snazzy free tote they handed out at the door!




Duck and Cover | Nikki Hollander creates these awesome resin film strip bracelets. You could wear moments from ET, Star Wars, Blazing Saddles and many more! website // shop // twitter


Miki Christopherson | Miki makes gorgeous, geometric pieces that are elegant and really highlight the beauty of the materials. supermarket // etsy

Paper Michelle | Michelle Zerzanek has a great line of stationery that features fun graphics (look at that gnome, need I say more?) and clever phrases. website // shop // twitter

Team Nerd Press | I just finished making some linocuts for some printed wrapping paper and I had forgotten just how difficult it is to cut that dang stuff! So I was doubly impressed by Nathan Adam Beadel's gorgeous linoleum & woodblock prints after my feeble attempts at the medium. His prints mix great graphics and type and are printed on a beautiful neutral chipboard base. Check out more from Team Nerd Press here.


The Wind & The Sail | Laura Stantz is the crafter behind The Wind & The Sail. I love her plush animals with their neutral bases and pops of colour and pattern. website // shop // blog // facebook


iamhome | The wall decor pieces made by this husband and wife team from Chicago caught my eye—in particular their fences. These pieces are made from a combination of reclaimed wood and plastic pieces cast from the wood itself. I love the coloured pieces in combination with the natural wood. Each fence is named after a Chicago street and is one of a kind. website // etsy // supermarket // twitter // tumblr
