Cross-Stitch
Joe Riedel found that
the pixelated format
of cross-stitch lends
itself perfectly to
video game images.
Embroidery thread
captures a tenderness and poignancy
that quick-moving
images lack; these
bring a nostalgic
smile to our faces.

Booties
Beautiful slippers
have a special place
in our hearts (think
Cinderella or The
Wizard of Oz), and
Yaeko Yamashita’s
are no exception,
whether they’re for
babies or ladies. She
also makes hats,
clothing, and those
fabulous fingerless
gloves featured on
page 82 with our T-skirt.

5. Wild Things
Florence Forrest
creates exquisitely
beautiful toys, tapping into a magical,
imaginary world
(living in Australia
amongst the wild
things doesn’t hurt)
and proving that toy
making truly is an art.
