I don't know if Portland grows amazing artisans, or just collects them, drawing them from other places around the world, but I do know this: this town is teeming with talent.
Here's a smattering of awesomesauce, PDX style.
"fish and boat in a bowl wooden automata" by cartoonmonster
I was lucky enough to see these in person at the Urban Craft Uprising show this summer. They. Are. Amazing. This is perhaps the most amazing-est one of them all! Look at those fishies!!!
"rainy bearded city" by tenderlovingempire
So clever. So creative. So true. The hubbers has serious beard-envy living out here in the PNW.
"facebroidery no 11" by cateanevski
She had me at "facebroidery." Such a cute way to envision a traditional embroidery hoop.
"colorful fishing floats 8x8 photo" by PhotosbyChipperfield
As I'm sure you already know from reading her awesome blog, T is an accomplished nature photographer. I gravitated towards this beautiful photo for its dazzling array of colors. I may not know what all those thingys are for, but they look so darn cool!
"rabbit food cookbook" by BethBee
At first glance, I just thought this was an adorably silly little journal. I mean, who cooks for rabbits? And then I realized (i.e. READ the description) that it's actually a handy, fully illustrated vegan cookbook! How cool is that?
