An Obamaware item “in action.” Photo from the American Craft Magazine article.

There’s a nice essay by Sarah Archer in the current issue of American Craft Magazine (the publication of the American Craft Council) about the Obamaware project we featured last fall. It’s very exciting to see a mention of OCP in the article, and even more exciting to read that Ayumi Pottery is maintaining an online photo gallery of the Obamaware pots in action. There’s something very special about seeing these items being used in people homes, rather than simply sitting on a shelf, as well as seeing these items–and many other Obama-related crafts–live on as a part of people’s daily lives after the election.

This photo landed in the OCP Flickr pool today and we just had to share it and the link to World of Wagner’s Obama Project. The photographer has photographed these 3 foot tall letters spelling “Obama” in New York City, Long island and Washington DC.
