I recently decided it was time to take some better photos of the letterpress book I created way back when I studied abroad in Italy. This trip was one of my most memorable college experiences, and the opportunity to take a letterpress workshop at the Tipoteca Italiana was definitely a highlight. (I also couldn't resist including the beautiful flowers I picked up at Flowers & Weeds. If you find yourself in St. Louis check out their new space!)
I can't believe we are heading into the last week of July, this summer has been a quick one! Here are a few quick picks I have found browsing the inter-webs lately. I am super excited about the beautiful new rug I just ordered from Arro Home, I can't wait to see how it looks in our apartment. I also have to recommend the lemon poppyseed cake recipe from Lauren's Latest blog, it's delicious! The Catalina Bag by Lo and Sons is at the top of my to-purchase list, it would be perfect for my commute to work each week. Enjoy the rest of these links!
It is always fun to create lettering for personal projects, and I loved creating a new logo for this website. I decided to stick with a similar style to my original branding I created. Next on the agenda, new business cards! I will be ordering from Moo, the quality of their luxe business cards is wonderful.
A few weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to attend a workshop at Hallmark with artist Ashley Goldberg! Over on the Think.Make.Share. blog you can see an interview with Ashley, as well as some snapshots from the workshop. Hallmark also created a video where she shares some great pattern-making tips. I was even lucky enough to walk away with the cat print pictured in the photo below (via the Think.Make.Share. blog):
Here are a few pictures I took during the workshop. The second image shows some pieces I created during the workshop. If you aren't familiar with Ashley's work I definitely recommend you take a look!
Here are a few links to browse this weekend, including this Bxxlght Light Box Sign:
