book sculptures...

 I am obsessed with Thomas Wightman's intricate book sculptures.

suite!

my beautiful, awesome, crafty friend tammy bought me a present just because it reminded her of me. it's an edger punch patterned with the playing card suites! if you're on my blog, look around, it's very obvious i'm infatuated.
i love it. check out the suite confetti too.

love you tammy!
thank you and happy valentine's day!

lizzie thomas...

featured on notcot today is lizze thomas. she makes pop-up paper cut trees in little wooden boxes...
hehe, i like the effect of the overlapping trees set like an accordian.

cutting bills...

scott campbell took some bills and decided they were a good art medium, and i think the results are facinating...
he does tattoos mostly, but some other intense art as well.
