A local artist finds an audience through Etsy.
Marnie B. Karger is the Shorewood-based artisan behind Crafterall, an Etsy shop featuring carefully crafted paper art. Karger specializes in topographic and bathymetric map recreation, which depicts depth and detail through the use of multiple dimensions. Cardstock is layered for depth after it has been carved into unique three-dimensional shapes. Her art ranges in price from $5 to $35, and custom work is available.
Karger’s handmade handiwork can be viewed online, and is available at numerous neighborhood shops including Mama’s Happy, 2271 Commerce Blvd., Mound; mamashappyonline.com.
