There was an interesting artist at the show who creates sculptures by making a single, simple fold on each page of a book. I was chatting with Kari Chapin (author of our upcoming book The Handmade Marketplace), and she said she saw an Anthropologie window display that used the same idea. I went home and grabbed a vintage copy of Wuthering Heights off my shelf and tried my hand at it. Here is the result!
web site, but her email is joycerosenfeld@gmail.com.
In addition to getting inspiration for making my own stuff, these are the things I bought at the fair:
A print from Jen Skelley (jenskelley.com), definitely my favorite artist at the show. I already have a few of her bird silkscreens hanging in my house. This one is going up in my dining room. Her husband, also a really great artist, sells at the fair too. I love cute art couples!
A plush bird from Miaow (catsmiaow.com). These birds are awesome — the sharply tailored designs and tweedy-looking wool fabrics make them look very buttoned up and crisply proper while being ridiculously cute.
A tee from Red Prairie (redprairiepress.com) — one of the many beautiful T-shirt designs this artist had. There were actually a lot of vendors selling nice T-shirt designs at the fair.

Definitely check out Twist next time around! There is another planned for the end of the year.

I bought the pink long-sleeve version of that shirt and I love it!
