Getting ready for 2008.
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007I stumbled upon this sweet bird-themed 2008 desk calendar from etsy seller Joom (check out her other pillows, prints, and cards here).

Her delicate linework and sweetly macabre themes are set off to perfection; here is a sampling. In addition to her new book, Julie has joined the ranks of a number of other intriguing artists with [...]
Two new etsy finds.
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007From Ice Cream Social, custom monogram cards. You pick the letter and the color scheme, and she creates these made-to-order designs. From OldMoney (a.k.a. Nadine Hernandez), a blank card featuring a flock of birds in flight.
Kirsten Hassenfeld.
Monday, December 24th, 2007I’m finding all kinds of beautiful paper sculptures and installations today! Here is a peek at the work of New York artist Kirsten Hassenfeld, previously on view at Rice Gallery and Bellwether Gallery. Her enchanting sculptures, primarily made of paper, reconstruct precious objects on a large scale with mundane materials. Via the amazing Mein Inspiration.
Made By Girl.
Monday, December 24th, 2007I love these bright and bold cards from Jennifer Ramos’ Las Vegas-based Made By Girl. More than just pretty, they’re also printed on 100% recycled paper. Check our her blog here. I especially like the one on the bottom. “To the king of the castle.” Ha! Sassy. Via Black Eiffel.
Kylie Stillman.
Monday, December 24th, 2007As Chris Natrop finds form in emptiness, Melbourne artist Kylie Stillman carves emptiness into form. Using a scalpel, she carves birds, trees, and other natural shapes through hundreds of pages of paper. The result is surprising and delicate. Via Lassez Faire.
You’re vs. your…
Monday, December 24th, 2007…here vs. hear, there vs. their… As a stickler for grammar, I can’t help but smile at the gentle irony in this card from Cake and Milk Paperie‘s boxed set. Find the whole boxed set of cheeky flat cards here.

Camilla Engman.
Monday, December 17th, 2007Four sweet new prints from Camilla Engman. I like the simple color scheme that ties them together, and I can’t help but love the one with a bird on a bear. Via the lovely Paper Crave.
A typographic fantasyland.
Monday, December 17th, 2007This takes Bembo’s Zoo to an entirely new level… This is Olivier Beaudoin‘s “Typolution”, set to “Nostrand” by Ratatat. Via Black Eiffel.
