Book Review: Magic Books & Paper Toys

My friends at Purgatory Pie Press are at it again, Esther Smith has put out another beautiful book on DIY paper craft: Magic Books & Paper Toys. With everyone's eyes on the bottom line these days Magic Books is a perfect antidote to the consumption driven happiness that has been sold to us for so long. With dozens of classic paper projects that are easy to do, like flip books and magic wallets, this two-sided book, filled with lovely hand-drawn directions, should be on every family's coffee table in place of the remote control.

Guerrilla Bag Activism

Morsbags is a UK based group that asks regular folks to form subversive activist "pods" to make and distribute...shopping bags! They provide a basic how-to for making a standard cloth bag, which you are then encouraged to distribute for free to shoppers at local stores as an alternative to using disposable grocery bags.

Thanks Mim!
