Lasers! We use ‘em for all kinds of stuff now, not just space gun attacks and crazy eye surgery. Who woulda thunk it? Lots of artists are using laser cutting technology to create unique furniture, sculpture, and jewelry. Philip Eggleston of Unpossible Cuts is one of these awesome folks. According to the Unpossible Cuts website, Philip uses the powers of “Laser cats, Viking blood, Eye of Newt, Unicorn Tears,Hipster Mustaches, and Wizard Beards” to bring his creative visions to life. We have no problem with that.

We just got a massive shipment of amazing goodies from Yes & Yes Designs, and we’re very excited about it! Designer Laura Bruland specializes in giving new life to cast-off objects, and the results are nothing short of incredible.  Laura began crafting in 2006, after inheriting a huge selection of wool scraps after her grandmother, the family’s “award-winning hooker,” passed away. Originally used for rug hooking, the bits and pieces of fabric became colorful headbands and brooches. Lately, though, she’s working with a new medium: book covers, from which she …

Cute has a new name, and it’s Faheema Chaudhury. Her delightful company, Unicorn Crafts, features a cast of charming  shrink-plastic characters that include dinosaurs, narwhals, Frankenstein monsters, and, of course, unicorns.

We’re simply thrilled to introduce YvoCrochet’s collection of jewelry designs to Modern Mouse! Artist Yvonne is a master crocheter who mixes old-school skills with modern fashion with fantastic results. I can’t imagine the teeny tiny crochet hook and wee thread Yvonne uses to make her creations, but she gets the patient-person-of-the-year award for such detailed work! Often people with skills like hers make a lot of doilies and beautiful but not-so-hip stuff, but she takes it to the next level with chic bow rings and totally bohemian earrings! Granny style …
