I am absolutely giddy over this print I purchased on Etsy from British artist, Lizzy Stewart.

It seems that lately, I am constantly seeking those moments of quiet, not only in everyday life but in my head and in my heart.  Every time I look at this print on my wall, I feel peaceful.

I think it [...]

Ok, I’m still going cuckoo over vintage stamps. I had to share this with you. I just came across these amazing collages by Stamposaurus. These letters are made from vintage stamps. It’s really lovely how the artists used stamps in a similar color range in creating these. These paper works of art would make an absolutely [...]

My house is filled with artwork. So much so that I have a backlog of framing to be done and a quickly disappearing amount of wall space on which to hang things. My collection has blossomed in recent years in part due to so many great artists and printmakers offering affordable prints.  [...]

As we’ve mentioned, we are in the middle (well actually more like 2/3rds of the way through) a big reorganization of our studio and warehouse space. Anyone who has taken on a big project like this, even at home, knows that sometimes to organize things, you have to create a big mess first! [...]

I bought a few Halloween cards at Target yesterday.  Yes, even I buy cards at Target sometimes!  I was shocked by how big of a card section it was and even more so by how decimated the selection was.  I thought to myself “Wow! People really send Halloween cards! I guess Rock Scissor [...]

Created by a dear friend of ours, Carol Sauvion, this series is dedicated to the exploration, preservation and celebration of craft, the [...]

Happy Back-to-School!  Today is the first day of school for so many kids (and grown-ups too!).  Driving into the studio today, I saw tons of kids, sporting new backpacks and sneakers, making their way to school. Oh how I loved the first day of school. So much excitement, so much possibility!

With [...]

I love getting mail (the non-junk, non-bill kind of mail) more than anything. So when I stumbled across a website called Swap-bot, I was instantly hooked.  Swap-bot is a site that facilitates trades between people. Some of these swaps are for random store bought things, but I skip those and go straight for [...]

If you live in Los Angeles, you know what I am talking about when I say that the sky is heavy today.  Brush fires are raging about 10 miles east of the Rock Scissor Paper studio and for several days now the sky has been obliterated by smoke and ash, making it difficult [...]
