Pat Mayer's Neuron Rebellion
Our friend Paul of Dude Craft points us to the fun work of Pat Mayer and her Neuron Rebellion. Her creations are cute and fun on their own, but coupled with her story of personal struggle after being suddenly stricken with a severe movement disorder that has left her bedridden, they take on new meaning.
