I’ve been working on a post about crafting with wood veneer and had hoped to have the post up by the end of this week. However, I’m discovering so much information that I’d like to do more research before I post about it. So, be on the lookout for it sometime next week!

Until then, enjoy these gorgeous paper sculptures from Molly Jey. So peaceful and evocative of spring:

Eep! The hiatus from posting ran much longer than I anticipated, but I’m back now and hope to be posting again regularly. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some spring weather, and this set of letterpress mini prints/greeting cards from Yee Haw Industries makes my hope for sunshine and warm temperatures stronger. They’re also available in blue, for those of you who are interested in a more “chill” look. $20.00 for a set of 8.

Chinese New Year falls on February 7 this year, and Design Night is celebrating the Year of the Rat, this year’s zodiac animal, with these limited edition, intricately laser cut gift envelopes. You can tuck a gift card or money into the envelopes, which are gifts in and of themselves. Who knew that a rat could be so pretty?

I’m digging the greeting cards from Objet de Carte, created by artist and designer Robert Brownstein. His use of geometry, patchwork, and typography is both fun and inspiring. In addition, each card is printed on 100% recycled card stock, and envelopes are made from 100% recycled kraft paper.
