nobody@vox.com(Crafty Minx) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:32:22 -0800

Just a quick note to say that I discovered OutsaPop earlier and thought it was worth a look. There's been a "reconstructed fashion" trend the last few years, but I find that most pieces in most of the books that have been published on the topic la...

nobody@vox.com(Crafty Minx) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 02:16:49 -0800

Every time I've tried to post to Vox since my last post, that Firefox 3 bug has eaten everything I've written... hence radio silence on this end. However, I come bringing seasonal goodies! I love the Japanese site Paper Museum. It's probably b...
