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!

Ilee Papergoods 2009 Letterpress and Silkscreen Calendar

September 23, 2008 // kristen // 4 replies

After seeing what Ilee came up with for their 2008 calendar, I’ve been waiting with anticipation to see what they would do for 2009. Well, I don’t have to wait any longer, and neither do you because the new creation is for sale!

Ilee has done it again, creating a calendar that’s more like a work of art, with 8 months printed with a letterpress and the other 4 a mix of silkscreen a foil stamping. Giraffes, silhouettes, florals, vintage-inspired illustrations…this calendar has a little bit of everything. And October is an absolute must see (awesome!):

10% of the sale of each calendar will be donated to a not-for-profit corporation called “Specialized Options for Disabled Adults” and also to orphanage in Thailand, so not only will you be purchasing a beautiful calendar, but you’ll be helping two good causes.

Egg Press has created not one, but two, calendars for 2009. They have a gorgeous and sophisticated letterpress calendar (excerpts shown above), featuring textures and patterns with pops and hints of color against a chic white backdrop. And they’ve also released a swoonworthy offset printed calendar, containing fantastic, colorful patterns and illustrations. The most difficult thing will be choosing which one to buy.

Ilee Papergoods 2008 Letterpress Calendar

November 02, 2007 // kristen // 3 replies

More letterpress calendar goodness, this time from Ilee Papergoods. The designer (and paper lover) in me is absolutely drooling over all of the printing techniques used in this calendar — letterpress, silkscreen, foil stamping, handpainted accents, and I love the darker background papers used for October, November, and December. $20.00 each at Ilee Papergoods.

Hmm, am I going to have to start collecting calendars now, too?
