Mary Jo Hoffman Mary Jo Hoffman posts one image, daily, of gathered natural objects found near her. She sent her first image out into the universe on January 1, 2012 hoping that she would enjoy the discipline of producing a photo a day, and hoping that a few kindred wanderers might find their way to Still blog. Then design*sponge came knocking. And Martha Stewart did a feature. And Minneapolis Saint Paul Magazine. Then Target. Then West Elm. And now her work is seen in textiles, wall hangings, card collections, and other product licensing.
