Happy Christmas to one and all!

Thank you to everyone who has sent me cards, e-cards and other jolly xmas stuff. Rather sadly for the first time ever, I think I've received more e-cards than printed on paper ...sad but true!  Anyway, thanks to all for your good wishes.

And here's one of my favourites so far this year from Sandy Suffield:

Sewing on paper

I got a call from Sandy Suffield a couple of months ago. I used to work with Sandy many years ago when she worked on John Rushworth's team at Pentagram in the late 90's/early 00's and since then she's been at various places including Time Out and has spent the last four years in the US. Anyway she revealed that one of her hobbies is sewing on paper - check these out...

Now most people assume that if the word sewn is used in the context of paper, that you're referring to some binding method - well not in this case! Sandy actually stitches into the paper to create these amazing artworks. The pictures speak for themselves. I think they're incredible - and now for the paper plug - they're all on our recycled Colorset 120gsm!
