Handmade Inspiration and Sarah Backlund
One thing I'm really aching to do this year is to show more of the pure awesomeness of what handmade can be. Instead of just shopping finds, I hope to also show off the side of handmade that isn't necessarily for sale, the side that lies at the intersection of art, craft and design. The hand-styled, hand-drawn, hand-written, hand-crafted things that add beauty to our homes, our public spaces and our imaginations. The side of handmade that inspires further creation, that leaves people thinking, "wow."
