i draw inspiration for my work from vintage crafts + design, particularly of the 60s + 70s. please think of this blog as a sketchbook where i share my inspirations + observations (as opposed to providing instructions, patterns + sources for craft supplies). i do not make copies of anything from my collection and am unable to respond individually to such requests. thanks!

Many of the images are from my collection of vintage books, magazines, ephemera and found photos. Whenever possible I cite the sources of the images I post. In some instances I will be showing some of my original work that has been inspired by the images I feature. Please be respectful and do not copy or reproduce anything without my permission.
