Shop handprinted gifts that capture the overlooked beauty of Philadelphia. Inspired by vintage cut-and-sew patterns popular in the 1970s and 1980s, artist Oonagh McKenna has developed dimensional prints of pigeons, sparrows, and pretzels using monoprinting techniques. The artist will be selling her “City Sidewalks Cut and Sew” print and stuffed birds, foldable paper ornaments, stickers, and other small print designs.
