Angela Liguori Cotton Ribbon and Limited Edition Books

September 12, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I know that the blogosphere has been buzzing about Angela Liguori for a while, but I’ve been brainstorming about holiday gift wrapping and just had to give a mention to her fabulous imported Italian cotton ribbon. What a gorgeous touch this would add to any gift, though I know I’d be tempted to horde it!

Angela also offers limited edition, handmade books featuring wonderful illustrations that would be perfect for any book, graphic design, or paper collection. See everything that Angela has to offer at her Etsy shop.

Freddy Krueger 3D Paper Toy

September 08, 2008 // kristen // 3 replies

More Halloween-y stuff, this time in the form of Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street, one of the cheesy-great horror films of the 80’s. Sure, I say it’s cheesy now, but I remember being scared out of my wits the first time I saw it. I prefer to remember Robert Englund as the nice, innocent alien from “V”. I loved that show, even with all the aliens ripping off their human faces to reveal horrifying lizard faces. Oh, my dude! They’re making a new mini-series called V: The Second Generation!

Topic? If you’re a fan of 80’s horror films, you’ll definitely want to download the Freddy Krueger paper toy from Horrorwood and put it on display for Halloween or, if you’re a big fan, all year ’round. via PaperKraft
