3 days ago by craftsanity I’m not sure what’s going to happen next. But even if I decide it’s not the right time to pursue a big goal, it’s incredibly fun to dream about creating an inspiring open space for people to gather, share ideas and make art. In case you’re wondering, these are the tiniest looms in the CraftSanity collection. I introduced them at the Michigan Fiber Festival in August and will be adding a new batch to my shop very soon. #craftsanityheadquarters #dreamoutloud #weaving #comewhatmay #printing #artstudio #openstudio

2 days ago by craftsanity I finally finished carving a block that my daughter Abby and I designed over the summer. This is a progress shot from last night. The design is for a t-shirt promoting my fictional band. I’ll print extra shirts in case any of you want to join. ; ) #craftsanitypress #carve #lino #myfictionaband #printmaking #printmaker
