shop local

two of my favorite local artists had open studios this weekend. friday night the lovely and preggers maggie campbell of campbell raw press hosted "everything is somewhere"

a series of letterpress blind line contour drawings.

"local" via sweden/san francisco lotta jansdotter was clearing out goods to free up space in her studio. needless to say i went on a shopping spree.

campbell raw

maggie campbell from campbell raw press custom made this scrapbook for my recent trip to japan. i met her at the holiday craft sale at fountain studios where i saw her journals that utilized vintage stamps for covers. i asked if she'd be able to create a scrapbook with a japanese stamp and she was super accommodating with the request. after a few months of correspondence and me sourcing stamps back in san francisco. i picked up the scrapbook last week and finally finished loading it up. thanks maggie for the lovely scrapbook! it's the perfect home to highlight my wonderful trip.
