I have decided to continue on with this newfound series and present another ‘5 Great Treasury list’. This is a series that I am hoping to keep up with as there are so many great craftsman’s on Etsy, and their work deserves to be noticed.
My hope for this series is to help bring notice to these talented individuals.
Graphic design used to be a low priority for museums!—MoMa makes me doubt this statement sometimes. Look at all the different forms of graphic design present, from the incredibly well designed cafeteria, to the in-house store.
However it was Noel Martin a self-taught graphic designer who was the first to modernize the art museum exhibition catalogues—Cincinnati Art Museum. Noel made abstract art more accessible, and more appealing to the younger museumgoers, helping to introduce art to the growing generation. Thus he created a style that has been emulated by many other American museums.
Below are a few of his iconic logos:
Identity for Ohio Arts Council

There are now three new designs added to my store on Etsy, these are the first of many earring designs to come. Please let me know if there is a particular style you are interested in seeing, or if there is a particular style already present that you want to see more of.
One of my favorites is the ‘Nut-Brown Victoria Earring’, as this was one of my little achievements. Made out of delicate dried flowers and paired with a silver head pin, this makes an elegant combination.
