It's almost time for the Easter Bunny so I'd thought I'd share my "Hoppy Easter" tags. Just click the image to download the PDF. Then print on your favorite paper, trim and punch a hole for ribbon or thread.
Recent work
Here's a fun piece I got to work on recently. It's a super simple magnetic memo board. You basically need sheet metal, some enamel spray paint, ribbon, buttons and magnets. Drill some holes, paint the sheet metal, glue buttons or doodads to your magnets, add a ribbon to hang and voila—you're done. I love styling photoshoots and I worked with photographer Mark Wagoner on this particular project.
