The Craft it forward project takes you way back to the time when we where all writing chain letters, you now the drill: you receive one letter and write your own letter to 5 people. With Craft it forward you send a little package of your handmade items to 5 people, they write a lovely blogpost about the received package and send their own handmade items to 5 new people.

Last weekend I received this lovely Craft it forward package from Studio Neeltje. Cora Verhagen is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator and studied Advertising at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam (The Netherlands). After her study in 2003 she started a Graphic Studio for people with intellectual disabilities, where she is still active now. She started Studio Neeltje in 2008. She works for small entrepreneurs and donates a part of her income to charities for children. Her clients get to choose the charity. What she loves most about her work is to translate her clients passion for their work to a clear communication concept.

Check out her website at Studio Neeltje for more info on Cora and her work.

If you already know Floris Hovers, you also know that you want every piece he makes. His industrial handmade items are simple and therefore amazing. I’ve been loving his pastel colored items ever since I first saw him at Piet Hein Eek, a couple of years ago. He has been getting a lot of media attention ever since, and every time I see a table, car or boat come by it reminds me where I am saving that money for…! I want it all.
