As I sit here at the beginning of another hot and humid summer day, in a home without air conditioning that will feel like the interior of an oven in a few hours, I find relief from the less than welcome weather in Alicia Bock’s wonderfully evocative photographs.

Looking at Alicia’s creations makes me feel like I’m on a sandy beach, in a field full of fuzzy naturals, or beneath the shady boughs of a tree and far away from my stuffy abode. Photographs available at Alicia Bock Photography.

If this doesn’t make the typophiles lustily drool, then I don’t know what will. This beautiful letterpress poster was created by designer Cameron Moll to promote the First Annual Design Review for a team of 30 designers at the LDS Church. The poster features the Salt Lake Temple, created with characters from the Bickham Script Pro, Engravers MT, and Epic typeface families. Just beautiful!

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.

These letterpress cards from Ontario, Canada based Sweetbeets are super sweet and really get the nostalgia going. Give them as greetings at baby showers or children’s birthdays, or frame a series (the “numbers” cards would be perfect) as decorative accessories in a nursery or child’s room.

All of Sweetbeets’ lettepress cards are printed with vegetable based ink on 100% post consumer recycled cardstock and come with an envelope made of 30% post consumer recycled paper. $5.50 each at Sweetbeets’ Etsy shop.
