Look, there, on the wall: the most exquisite Victorian wallpaper pattern. On a blush of delicate pink, the color of a clamshell’s interior, eight circles burst from a round center, each with a triangular marking inside. Come closer. Further enter the welcoming room, furnished with warm wooden antique cabinetry and lit with chandeliers, so you can better admire the wallpaper — except it isn’t wallpaper.

If summer is farmers’ market season, winter belongs to art markets. Each event showcases the wealth of Madison’s creative community, with row after row of booths or tables filled with paintings, jewelry, pottery and more. Still, not every artist can get a seat at the table — or, in this case, a table at the market.

Karolina Romanowska’s small studio space within The Kiln Shed, a community studio on the northside, is full of clay faces. A pinboard hanging across from her desk is a riot of unusual features: Wagging purple tongues, floral-patterned skin and extra sets of eyes clamor for attention, each design more outrageous than the last.

Did you know Bucky Badger is a Libra? The beloved mascot celebrated his 84th birthday on Oct. 2, the same day his likeness was copyrighted in 1940. We're celebrating by channeling the badger's iconic look. In recognition of Bucky Badger’s birthday (and the upcoming National Badger Day on Oct. 6), we asked Stillgood’s to curate a modern outfit inspired by both the mascot and the animal.
