Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you're just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive. Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!

Paper marbling is an ancient method of aqueous surface design which can produce very interesting patterns. Oil-based colors are floated in a shallow marbling tray and designs are created with a wooden sticks and hand tools, using a kind of painting technique. Each sheet is then carefully lowered into this tray and the pattern transfers on to the paper. The sheets are hung up to dry naturally. Each and every sheet is individually hand-marbled by skilled artisans, making them truly unique. They are not screen printed or digitally mass-produced.

This intricate design features a groovy mix of bright aqua blue, hot pink, and mellow yellow.

The creation of Marvling Bros is a story that began in 2010 with two mums at the school gates of a sleepy surburban primary school in Essex… In 2010 the head mistress of the school held a competition for the pupils. The task seemed straightforward and simple enough: How much can you fit in a matchbox? Hayley’s seven-year-old son was not enthused by idea, but Hayley entered for him and came up with all sorts of objects that not only fitted in the matchbox but fulfilled a concept too. For example, a grain of rice and a coriander seed which she labelled ‘curry takeaway’, and a picture of the Mona Lisa and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers became a miniature art gallery. She did not win the competition, and most people thought it was mad, but one other person at the school totally got it - Emma. Two years later, Emma, inspired by the matchboxes, (and having just offloaded her youngest child at school) thought the concept could be the basis for a business and for nine months she and Hayley beavered away researching products, developing ideas and learning how to run an e-commerce company. They launched in July 2013 with a website and 12 different product designs. In the first week they sold exactly ten matchboxes, half of those to people they knew. Not the big hit they were hoping for. However, by their first Christmas, they were flying out of the door. In the last eight years the business has gone from strength to strength, while keeping the company ethos - to provide inspiration!

In 2008 Cammie and Kip began selling it at farmers markets. From there, Eco-kids evolved. This woman owned business lives by the mantra — creative play the natural way. Products are developed with this belief in mind. From using non-toxic, natural ingredients to the unique packaging, Eco-kids works with environmentally friendly companies from around the United States to bring you fresh ideas in the world of art supplies.

With their masterful use of calligraphy, hand lettering, hand-drawn illustration, vintage etching, watercolor, and typography, the Antiquaria design philosophy embodies a vintage-modern design aesthetic. Antiquaria designs are meant to be approachable, not fussy or over-the-top. At Antiquaria, we believe design should feel natural, like it’s meant to be there, like it’s always been there. Above all, our designs should make you happy.

Antiquaria was officially born in August of 2010, but the adventure began a year earlier, when Emma James and Bailey Amon met in the Austin, Texas stationery store where Emma was designing invitations. Bailey walked into the store one day with her calligraphy portfolio, and the two immediately hit it off... we’re talking instant mutual admiration society here. A couple of months later, Emma hired Bailey to do the calligraphy for her beautiful wedding invitations, and the rest was history.

You’ll love sewing these into those projects that made you swear plenty of times, but you finished anyway. You know the ones...

The yarn is hand-dyed in a bath of natural indigo. This project gives over 120 women, most of them widows and orphaned survivors of the Genocide against the Tutsi, dignified employment.

Old Motel signage makes me think of a 60s era vacation in Florida or along Rt 66 in Arizona. Dad on a lounger with an old pop top beer in hand, mom with sunglasses on with a scarf on her head and kids showing off their cannon ball skills into the Motel pool... or that could have just been something I saw in the Wonder Years that makes me think that. Either way modern versions of roadside motels are coming back as of the time of writing this description and I'm into it.

Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you're just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive. Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!

The creation of Marvling Bros is a story that began in 2010 with two mums at the school gates of a sleepy surburban primary school in Essex… In 2010 the head mistress of the school held a competition for the pupils. The task seemed straightforward and simple enough: How much can you fit in a matchbox? Hayley’s seven-year-old son was not enthused by idea, but Hayley entered for him and came up with all sorts of objects that not only fitted in the matchbox but fulfilled a concept too. For example, a grain of rice and a coriander seed which she labelled ‘curry takeaway’, and a picture of the Mona Lisa and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers became a miniature art gallery. She did not win the competition, and most people thought it was mad, but one other person at the school totally got it - Emma. Two years later, Emma, inspired by the matchboxes, (and having just offloaded her youngest child at school) thought the concept could be the basis for a business and for nine months she and Hayley beavered away researching products, developing ideas and learning how to run an e-commerce company. They launched in July 2013 with a website and 12 different product designs. In the first week they sold exactly ten matchboxes, half of those to people they knew. Not the big hit they were hoping for. However, by their first Christmas, they were flying out of the door. In the last eight years the business has gone from strength to strength, while keeping the company ethos - to provide inspiration!

Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life

Jenna Woginrich started this project with admiration for small farmers and frustration with a consumeristic world that moves too fast and creates too much waste. Woginrich reasoned that learning a few basic country skills and ditching consumer culture could take her back to a simpler time, with simple pleasures like eating vegetables and wearing clothes you've grown and made yourself. This book is the account of Woginrich's journey, and a call for the reader to take up the same DIY mantle. Learn how to take care of your own needs and extricate yourself from the web of consumerism with this guide to homesteading and account of one woman's experience of leaving the fast-paced world behind. No matter where you live or how much experience or knowledge you have, it is possible to make yourself a little more self-sufficient.

Microcosm emphasizes skill-building, showing hidden histories, and fostering creativity through challenging conventional publishing wisdom with books and zines about DIY skills, food, bicycling, gender, self-care, and social justice.Microcosm has lived in milk crates, in closets, in a mud room, in a windowless basement, in a church, and under a desk at a major credit card company. We've brought our brightly colored books to infoshops, zine fests, media summits, bicycle conferences, parks, street corners, house shows, dirty bars, all­night coffeeshops, art museums, and every corner of the mainstream where we can clear away a little space to set up shop. We set out to save ourselves from not caring, but out there in the margins we've found communities worth always doing it better for. Now we have contracts instead of handshakes, a warehouse instead of a fanny pack full of zines. We have a staff, we have relationships in the industry that send our books to places we wouldn't have dreamed we could walk into ourselves. We're not as drunk or dirty as we used to be. But still, at heart, we've got this milk crate strapped to the back of a bike and we're riding wildly across town to hand you the book that might just be the one that saves your life!

Drawing can be challenging. To the untrained eye, it can sometimes seem as though it's an innate, rather than a learned skill.

With lots of drawing tips and tricks from author and illustrator Flora Waycott, you too can start drawing up a storm with advice and step-by-step guides for how to depict common everyday items. Including a brief introduction to various drawing mediums, from graphite to ink, colored pencils and gouache, this guide encourages you to jump right in and start practicing with items you might find around your home, practicing your new skills and developing your own personal style. Appropriate for artists of all skill levels, Draw Every Little Thing can help you improve your drawing ability no matter how talented you are initially.

Here at Hawthorn Handmade, everything we do revolves around helping you to get crafty and discover your inner creative soul. Our kits are designed for beginners and give you everything you need to bring your creation to life. We’ve searched high and low for the best quality tools and materials; spent hours poring over our detailed instructions to get them just right and packaged everything up on a beautiful box ready to send straight to your door. Owner and Creative Director Stephanie started Hawthorn Handmade in the back room of her previous business, a contemporary craft gallery and haberdashery. The first kits were such a hit that she closed the gallery and focused all her efforts on building the HH range and brand. 8 years and a few hundred thousand kits later, Hawthorn Handmade is one of the most recognised kit companies in the UK, and our fun, bright and achievable designs are stitched, felted and woven into life all around the world. All of our kits are still made in house in our studio in the heart of rural Dorset, England, with the countryside on our doorstep inspiring us every day.

The newest stitch sampler from Dropcloth Samplers is finally here, and it's got more stitches than any other sampler in the collection.

Introducing the Drawing Stitches Sampler. Inspired by the marks I found myself making in my own sketchbooks, this sampler is packed with no less than 31 different stitches for you to discover, practice, and master. You'll be left with a work of art to hang on your wall and a reference point for future embroidery projects.

The stitches range from easy to moderate, with nary a french knot in the bunch. I promise, you can do it!

A pie shaped sampler filled with lots, and mean LOTS of tiny stitches waiting to be experimented with. Each of the nine sections offers variations on the theme, giving the maker a chance to try out thick and thin versions of each stitch, as well as variations in color and threads. I encourage you to make this design your own and get out all your unique threads for this project. The end result is dense, colorful, and dynamic.

Inspired by the handful of wildflower seeds that I haphazardly threw into my garden, this sampler celebrates flowers that grow every which way. My meadow is a small raised bed in a Portland front yard. Yours might be out on a long walk, or in a box in your city windowsill. I've stitched the sample version in backstitch and running stitch. I can't wait to see what stitches and colors you pick out for your flower garden. The possibilities are endless.
