I Don’t Know from ATO Records on Vimeo.

lately i feel like the craft/art/design world has been making its way into music videos in a really big way. elements of all three worlds have always been in videos, but it’s been so fun to see crafts like felting, paper-cutting and knitting in popular music videos on youtube. today i wanted to share two videos from irish singer/songwriter lisa hannigan. lisa’s worked with people like damian rice and herbie hancock (a personal favorite of mine) and her solo debut “sea sew” was just released earlier this year. in the first video above, “i don’t know”, lisa creates an entire landscape from paper cutouts, and the second video below, “lille”, features a handmade pop-up book that goes along with the song. so, so cool. just click play to check them out. if you’re at work, they’re worth watching even with the sound off. [thanks, court!]

I saw Lisa in concert with Jason Mraz and she was amazing. She is full of life on stage and you can’t help but love her talent.

This is so cool. Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to have to share it on my blog too with all my crafting buddies.

These are fantastic, thank you. I’ve been a big fan of Damien Rice and his band for many years and still am. When I first heard them, at a singer-songwriter festival about 6 or 7 years ago, I, and I think the entire rest of the audience, was baffled that Lisa was a backup singer!

I was bummed to see her leave Damo’s band but I’m so happy to see her showcase her awesome talents.

Just lovely! She reminds me a bit of Amelie, only in real life. :) So cute.

WONDERFUL! I’m so happy every time I see another example of a crafty gal or guy using their talents in an unexpected way. Not to mention that she has a beautiful voice. I didn’t realize that I’d heard “Lille” before until now. Thanks for yet another brilliant post!
