Baltimore By Hand

Local designer Christy Zuccarini—of For Queen Victoria fame—has revived her popular blog Baltimore By Hand where she writes about the indie craft community in and around Charm City. Look for features about "local artists, crafters and designers, DIY projects, upcoming events, places to shop, and other handmade happenings." Also, in the works (check back mid-February) is an online marketplace Baltimore by Hand: The Shop at Big Cartel. Yesterday, she wrote about the local artists selected for the prestigious American Craft Council Show. We featured Christy in our December 2008 Made in Baltimore story and her jewelry (necklace and bracelet) graced our model (in one of my favorite shots) at this year's One Fine Day Bride fashion shoot. —JED
