Lost Art

I am going to go out on a limb here & say that hand lettering is becoming a lost art. The less & less we write out, the worse our handwriting is becomes. Imagine writing a whole email by hand?! 

Unless this is, if you're Molly Jacques! I have been really keen on hand lettering lately & really want to make a conscious effort to work on writing more. Whether it may be lists, ideas or snail mail. Molly really inspired me this evening with her beautiful hand lettering. Plus it doesn't hurt the quotes she happens to write are absolutely inspiring--I mean Christopher Robins? Brilliant.

I'm sure you've seen her stuff popping up all over pinterest, design blogs & even online shops. 

One of the best things I discovered on Molly's site is that she personally shows you how to create a holiday card with her own signature flair--see the directions here. There is still time to whip some of these bad boys up & get them out the door!

White Light

I am particularly fond right now on the sculptural art of Bjorn Dahlem. With only a few materials & neon lighting he creates some breathtaking installations that I think would be equally exquisite during the day as the night. 

Neon is so hott right now.
