Tori Higa’s grandmother was a relentless sewer and quilter, and after a mass clean-out one day, she gave Tori a huge pile of vintage fabric from the 1960’s. Not knowing how to sew, but not wanting to turn down the offer of yards and yards of fabric, she decided to incorporate the fabric into her card designs. She has now taken her love of letter-writing and card design one step further, compiling and publishing Today’s Top Stationery Artists. The book profiles over 160 beautiful color images of artwork from 52 contemporary greeting card and stationery designers, and to see all of their various work represented in one space is nothing short of inspiring. Each designer is setting an innovative trend in the industry and Tori, a self-confessed “stationery dork,” has done a beautiful job of bringing it all together.
