Your Emporium for Visual Inspiration: papernstitch (and super giveaway)
Papernstitch is an online exhibition space that was created to promote talented artists, designers, and makers selling handmade goods. The exhibition space is curated monthly and showcases the best of the best on an international level.
The site is a collaborative project for husband and wife team, Brittni and Jeff. It launched in October of 2008 and has been booming ever since! It has quickly become one of my most visited sites – especially since the galleries are always fresh and full of energy. Brittni curates the online exhibitions and has an impeccable eye for beautiful pieces.
While browsing papernstitch today, I couldn’t resist creating a treasury for A Beautiful Ripple Effect. Below are a few of my personal favorites from the current online exhibition.
And I think it’s necessary to end March on a wonderful note so let’s do a giveaway! Comment on this post for a chance to win one item from an artist featured below. Comments will be closed Sunday, April 4th at 6:00 pm EST. TWO recipients will be announced Monday April 5th! The recipients will be able to choose their favorite item (item must be $25 or less).

I absolutely adore your “happy” hang tag! It has such a unique feel. And your description is just amazing. “A simple & cheerful reminder to just be ‘happy’…” and “The edges are intentionally slightly frayed to add to it’s natural, rustic appeal and a perfectly, imperfect aesthetic!”
Thanks for the chance to win :) You have lovely blog!
So much fun! I love papernstitch. Glad to be introduced to your blog!
