What's pretty small, folded in half and could be worth a lot of pounds? Apparently these. The Royal College of Art in England has a fundraiser every year where they sell little handmade cards. Some are by students, some are by famous artists.

I love little handmade things. And what with all this NAMBOPO-ing, and the requisite website surfing, my love of the NICE THING MADE BY HAND has reblossomed. Re-blossom-ed. Is that a word? Well, I am just going to say yes and keep going. You all know what I mean.

Here is another site I have been looking at lately.

And finally, the arty thing I am most excited about...One of Austin's Christmas presents is currently being handmade by an alcoholic bohemian grandfather who of course, also frequents Caffe Trieste, just like us. Whether he is an artist of renown I cannot tell. When I google his name all I get is some website for a slightly porn-obsessed cyber pagan. And also a restaurant near the ballpark here in San Francisco. But anyways, this guy is making alphabet cards to hang in my son's room. Judging by the last piece of art Austin recieved from the Boho Grandpa, which has a lot of racecars on it, I think the alphabet cards will be a success.

So this is my art post, I guess.
