Paper Around The Web, November Edition

November 19, 2008 // kristen // 1 replies

There’s lots of paper love flowing on the interwebs lately. Here are just a few of my faves:

* Beautiful silkscreened 2009 Thyme Calendar by Nora Whynot (pictured above). Each month depicts a use of the herb, thyme, from Egyptian embalming to Greek honey collecting. via Design*Sponge

* Wonderful prints made from original illustrations by Oliver Jeffers. via swissmiss

* Port 2 Port’s oh so pretty 2009 letterpress calendar. via Lena Corwin

* Parts 2 and 3 of the fantastic (and free) holiday goodies from A Print A Day.

* Must see Topo art cards from Crafterall. via Pikaland

* Awesome paper cut illustrations from Skinny laMinx…absolutely unbelieveable that these were never used by the newspaper who commissioned them!

* How to make book and button flower bouquets at Just Something I Made. What a clever use for old books and that jar of buttons that I just inherited!

What a unique letterpress calendar from Albertine Press! The limited edition, miniature 2009 calendar is hand bound in a choice of four different handmade papers and accordian folded for a special presentation. The calendar measures 2.25″ x 3.25″ closed and would make for the most stylish purse calendar around.

Hee, and I had to post this wonderful limited edition “Stuff” letterpress card, based on Fluff, everyone’s favorite sugar-y marshmallow in a jar. My mum couldn’t make her Christmas fudge without it!
