ILLUSTRATORS:


aya kakeda's brutally beautiful illustrated stories/embroidery


christine schmidt's yellow owl studio work, who i found through reform school! i have been tracking her down for a while, and hey susy pointed me her way! ... oh dear and i'm melting over the lovely interview with her supportive husband (a must have!). every talented hand crafter needs one! (the husband, not really an article).
