You spent nine months laboring over what to call your little bundle.

If only you’d seen the writing on the wall — specifically, Anna Bondoc’s nameplates. The local artist creates nursery-door lovelies inspired by Chinese jihanzi and Japanese katagami (ancient forms of paper cutting).

Though strikingly modern looking, the sturdy pieces are made using the time-honored technique of layering paper. Bold colors and motifs (animal hoof prints, rockets, flowers) give the finished multidimensional pieces a crisp, clean edge.

Choose from six designs; your order is ready to hang in just two weeks. Can’t knock that.

Available at Eggy, 8365 West Third Street, at South Kings Road (323-658-8882); online at annabondoc.com, $80/unframed; $140/framed.
