I love type...

... but not as much as Jessica Hische, I came across her website a
while ago and her work blew me away, I love her love for typography!

She is really gifted and has a few typefaces for sale on various font sites.
I have been looking for some inspiration for my Mom's 60th birthday
stationery and I have definitely been inspired by Jessica! Thanks!

I think I'll be going with creams, whites and maybe an accent of gold
here and there, whenever I think of my mom I think of gold,  she loves
that colour so much! Here are a few examples of Jessica's work that
will help me create the perfect invitation for my Mom.

Ceramics by Sarah Cihat's

After having a lovely day at Moyo yesterday and while having
my wonderful pot of tea, I fell in love with the teapot and realised
how much I missed my pottery evenings with all my wonderful
classmates. I miss the chitter chatter of everyone and all the
beautiful pieces that were created around me.

My teacher, the very talented Belinda Orman will be exhibiting
her week in Paarl next week and I will be there to support her.
Yay! When I found these pieces on Re-nest, I had to share
them with you, beautiful pieces by Sarah Cihat's, enjoy!

Cut out fun

Sculpted pencils, visionary alphabets, unusual media,
and painstaking attention to detail are common elements
in the works of three contemporary artists on view in the
Batchelor Gallery beginning April 2. The vivid colors and
eye-catching detail contained in these small objects, that
measure around a foot or less, will leave you astounded
and amazed.

Dalton Ghetti, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, has been making
his pencil creations since he was a schoolboy in Brazil.
Using a variety of simple razors and needles, he carves
incredibly detailed miniature sculptures out of the lead core
of pencils without the aid of technology or even a magnifying glass.
Alphabet, 2005, comprised of 26 individual pencils,
is hismost famous work.

Laser cut Leaves

Leaves were used as invitations and flyers for 'Design Naturally'.
The leaves need to be viewed in front of light, I think I might try
this and see what the outcome is.

Leather Handbags to die for!

When I found these bags I nearly fell off my chair,
I mean can anything look this beautiful! I totally
want one, thank goodness it's available through
Kim Gray.
