13:1 Lost in Translation
I recently decided it was time to take some better photos of the letterpress book I created way back when I studied abroad in Italy. This trip was one of my most memorable college experiences, and the opportunity to take a letterpress workshop at the Tipoteca Italiana was definitely a highlight. (I also couldn't resist including the beautiful flowers I picked up at Flowers & Weeds. If you find yourself in St. Louis check out their new space!)
July Around the Web
I can't believe we are heading into the last week of July, this summer has been a quick one! Here are a few quick picks I have found browsing the inter-webs lately. I am super excited about the beautiful new rug I just ordered from Arro Home, I can't wait to see how it looks in our apartment. I also have to recommend the lemon poppyseed cake recipe from Lauren's Latest blog, it's delicious! The Catalina Bag by Lo and Sons is at the top of my to-purchase list, it would be perfect for my commute to work each week. Enjoy the rest of these links!
Alexandra Violet
It is always fun to create lettering for personal projects, and I loved creating a new logo for this website. I decided to stick with a similar style to my original branding I created. Next on the agenda, new business cards! I will be ordering from Moo, the quality of their luxe business cards is wonderful.
Ashley Goldberg Workshop
A few weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to attend a workshop at Hallmark with artist Ashley Goldberg! Over on the Think.Make.Share. blog you can see an interview with Ashley, as well as some snapshots from the workshop. Hallmark also created a video where she shares some great pattern-making tips. I was even lucky enough to walk away with the cat print pictured in the photo below (via the Think.Make.Share. blog):
Here are a few pictures I took during the workshop. The second image shows some pieces I created during the workshop. If you aren't familiar with Ashley's work I definitely recommend you take a look!
