UPDATE

Sorry I've been out of the loop for awhile. I'm in the process of moving to Italy for a few months, but once I'm settled over the next week or two, it will be business as usual and I'll get myself on track. If you have any suggestions for craftsters/designers to be featured on the site, please send the link to:

See you soon!

Art School Dropout - Frederick, Maryland

I usually don't like clutches because I always have way to much stuff to fit in them, but I'd be willing to whittle down my necessities for this awesome one from Art School Dropout, made from wool felt with a pair of All Star-wearing feet on the front:

Art School Dropout has tons of crafty odds & ends, from stickers to accessories. She also offers a couple of DIY materials to make your own pieces, including bead sets and vintage fabrics.

My favorite, however, is her line of "Juxtapose Neclaces" made from new and vintage parts. Each one is different, but they all have a clunky aesthetic offset by the delicate flowers and jewels that they're constructed from. I can't wait to get my grubby little fingers on one of them.
