subversive handcraft

It has been a pleasure being guest blogger at design*sponge. I have loved being able to showcase some of my favourite handmade artists and designers, and of course to show a little bit about myself as well. For my last post I would like to show the subversive side of handcraft. I am a big fan of this side of crafting and art and love when artists can take what is ordinary, traditional and everyday and make it into something else entirely.
