Clare is a happily married twenty-something mother to Emily. When she's not singing nursery rhymes and changing nappies, she's being a proper little housewife and attempting to cook or bake. Sometimes it works out. But let's just say she's better at shopping.

November Spotlight: Brown Paper Bag Art

A few weeks ago I bought a set of note cards in a beautiful box. The blurb told of the artist, Naoko, who has always been fascinated with creating things on used paper. After long experiments with paper and inks, she established a way to draw on used paper bags without losing their colour and texture. Her "brown paper bag collection" combines the rebirth of something old into new, creating images that project the beauty of life.
