I love paper cut art. It’s so intricate and ever so time consuming. I’ve done my fair share in the past when I was at art college, but its not something I decided to pursue. I’ve seen and like a few artists, but never until now seen someone’s work that uses recycled paper, like newspaper […]

Check out the work of Chris Kenny.
Batteries are quite hard to recycle and you’re never quite sure what happens to them once you’ve dropped them into a box at your local supermarket – do they get re-processed in the UK or shipped abroad and have to travel great distances in order to be recycled. So it was a joy to find […]

It’s come about because of the Causing Chaos exhibition at the museum curated by artist Claire Barclay for Fife Contemporary Art […]
I discovered these beautiful porcelain hearts today entitled Corezone. Corezone is a closed ceramic space, where you can place your thoughts, feelings, emotions. Write them down on small pieces of paper and put them inside the heart. You must then physically break your own heart to free them.
Jessica Hische is a typographer and illustrator working in Brooklyn, New York. I discovered her work on Craftgawker today and decided that this week’s Theme Thursday would be a selection of her beautifully printed alphabet. Letterpressed on Crane’s 110lb Lettra paper, these individual letters are a selection from the first six alphabets of the Daily […]
