Just what 2007 needs!
Talented ceramic designer Diana Fayt has a newly designed calendar out for 2007. It’s twelve beautiful pages of Diana’s designs printed on Japanese paper. I love her charming works of art – they make me want to display all 12 months at once! I’m thinking of clipping them to wire and stringing them all above my desk for artistic inspiration.
A calendar from a ceramics artist may seem unusual, but Diana has been venturing into the world of graphics and illustration on and off for the past few years. She had previously produced a calendar in 2005 which were sold mostly in Japan and a small number of them here in the States. 2006 proved to be a busy year for her much in-demand ceramic work, so after skipping a year, she’s back at it for 2007. It all worked out well, in fact, because she had a head start for this year. There are just a limited number printed of Diana’s calendars and they are going to be featured in the December issue of Domino Magazine’s gift buying guide, so I suggest ordering soon, while they last. A beautiful way to ring in the New Year.
Tis’ the season…
It’s that time again…I know it’s not even Halloween yet (well, it will be tomorrow!), but it’s a good time to start thinking about your holiday cards. The lovely and talented Eszter Rabin of Emma Rose Papery has just put out a gorgeous Holiday Collection that you should check out for all of your holiday shopping needs.
Each fold-over note is flat printed by Emma Rose Papery and has plenty of room for you to slip in a 4×6 photo and jot a quick note. Be sure to take a look at their holiday party invitations, too. You can choose the fill-in style, or provide them with your information to print. They’ll even customize your envelopes with your return address if you like.
Emma Rose is also a good spot to stock up on letterpressed gifts for friends and family. They’ve put together a line-up of really great goods from calling cards and bookplates to recipe cards and fine stationery. And don’t forget to grab some gift tags for all that wrapping to be done!
