Lauren Minco Prints

Spotted on Etsy’s front page today — the wonderful artwork of Lauren Minco. This sweet print (The Tiny Artist) caught my eye right away. I love the whimsical playfulness in Lauren’s creations, and the pastel palette in this print makes me feel calm and content. Each print is $14.00 at Lauren’s Etsy shop:

Paper Jewelry by Frucci Design

June 24, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m continually amazed by the things that people are creating with paper, and this jewelry kind of blew my mind. Amazing, amazing creations from San Francisco based Frucci Design, including rings, bracelets, and necklaces that use paper as a main component…sometimes as the only component. Any of these beautiful pieces would be the perfect conversation starter and would pique the interest of everyone from jewelry mavens to M.I.T. grads.

Orange Beautiful Type Line Letterpress Cards

The Prepping for the Show series introduced me to a few designers that are new to me and reminded me of a few designers that I’ve known about but haven’t yet featured, including Orange Beautiful. Given my status as a typophile and fontaholic, I’m loving their Type Line. Simple. Bold. Great for any occasion:
