The Crafters

Day 5 of new Craft book with Meg Mateo Ilasco. Rope hand crocheted rugs, japanese curtains & gold leaf milk bottles. We spent yesterday at Lisa Congdon house who owns the amazing store Rare Device. She made a fabulous plate wall for us. Today we spent the day at Lisa Wong Jackson house who owns Good On Paper Design, their dog pixel and ever helpful husband Nick. 90* and the most amazing views! A few behind the scenes pics and vignettes from NYC, LA & SF shoots. Enjoy! More to come...two more days and 5 more crafters to go!

p.s. look for the book next year published by Stewart Tabori & Chang.

Karen and I scouted on two rented jalopy 3 speeds over 3 bridges in 1 day.
90 degrees outside, we finally found all our locations.
Here are a few outtakes and behind the scenes snappies.
Check it out from Stewart Tabori and Chang in Spring 2010.
Good fun in NYC.

New Book! Printing by Hand by Lena Corwin

in the middle of how-to shot, gus came to visit.

listening to elliot smith & snuggle time with Gus while Lena labored happily screen-printing, painting, cutting, pasting, & working her tail off for her first book.

If you don't know Lena, you may have seen her maps in Elle Decor, I adore them!
