Issue Fifteen is out now thewaxpaper.com Framed in the tradition of resistance in craft, the border designs are constructed of elements found in the design work of WWI era Belgian lace makers. Symbolic motifs of Allied camaraderie are reflected in the needlework designs along the edge of our pages.

Brought the house down at #AWP

When we say that we hope this post is ‘awesome,’ we don’t mean we want it to be expressive of awe or terror. We mean that we hope you like it. This reduction of a word's intensity is called ‘semantic bleaching.’
