cool unforgettaballs!

Stan Hochman has an interesting piece in this morning's Philadelphia Daily News, about architect-turned-artist Emily Wolfson, who lives in the Philadelphia area. Her canvas of choice is the baseball; her subject of choice, baseball. (She does paint other things as well.) Wolfson, who calls herself a "miniaturist at heart", started painting baseballs in 1994, at first as a present for her husband. She kept at it and started selling the balls, which depict ballparks and opening days, at local craft shows. She now has the balls printed with her unique paintings at a factory in China and aims to create the best art on a baseball in the world. Check out Wolfson's memorable baseballs at www.unforgettaballs.com. She also has an interesting blog (www.unforgettaballs.com/blogger.html) about the balls and about running a small business.
