Ornaments

I'm sure it will surprise absolutely no one that I'm eyeing these ornaments for Christmas.

Thanks to Ugmonk, I don't feel bad for having such an unrelenting thing for ampersands. It's not my fault they're so good looking.

Sesame Street

I feel like I ramble on about letterpress quite a bit here and to friends, family, and acquaintances. What I hadn't yet considered was showing them how letterpress reunites children with their beloved pets.

Miso

This is the work of Stanislava Pinchuk, who works under the street artist name Miso.

I think they're dreamy. Delicate and temporary and special.

I found a few treasures in the photos of her studio exhibitions as well.

Thank you to the always lovely Valori for the heads-up.

Movie Break

Two videos for you today:

1. I'm excited for The Leonardo to open next month. Their daily countdown videos are tiding me over for now.

2. I recommend watching this one with the sound off. The paper sculptures/pop-ups I love, the muzak not so much.

I need to go find my video camera. And some scissors.

Pinewood Derby

This is the best thing I've seen today.

A tiny pinewood derby car made to look like a Vandercook press. And those teensy posters were even letterpress printed. Wait, did you get a good look at the tiny ink can?

Beautiful Swear Words

This project cracks me up. But obviously, don't visit Beautiful Swear Words if you're offended by, well, swear words.
