Paper and Stitch

What: The Paper N Stitch blog is a design and style blog that features artists, makers, crafters, and indie labels. In addition to these features, Paper N Stitch also features DIY projects and tutorials, fashion and home decor. The blog is updated with new posts 3-5 times a day.

Phase II for Paper N Stitch is a comprehensive website that will allow users to upload their own information and start promoting their work. The site will include plenty of features and offer something unique for buyers and sellers. The blog will of course continue in conjunction with the site, once the site launches in October of 2008.

Why: As an artist myself, I felt I was always struggling to get my work seen, but just didn’t have the means to do so. I had a website and a shop, but needed an extra boost. I thought, if I was having this trouble, there most be others with the same issue. 

Who: I am a high school art teacher. I run a shop called Simple Vintage and I am an artist. I also started an online magazine called CREATEjacksonville in 2006 (RIP), which featured artists and makers in the surrounding area. I live in Jacksonville, FL with my fiance, my dog, and my cat.
