Pascal Tessier

I found Pascal’s beautiful work via my stumbling around on Flickr, which led me to his website.  I suggest looking at his Flickr sets though for the sake of ease.

The Invitations

One of the things I miss about working in buying was that year round, as Fashion Week approached, I would be the indirect recipient of the most beautiful and expensively produced invitations from couturiers and small fashion houses around the world.  Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks were of course the times when there were no-holds-barred and we’d get the most beautiful invitations.  Letterpress; silkscreen; plastic overlays; laser-cut plastic; foil- you name it.  It was my job to make sure that my boss got the invitations that he would most certainly care about, but the rest were mine to ogle and dispose of, or (occasionally) hang on my inspiration wall by my desk.

I was reminded of this when reading this article on Hint by Haidee Findlay-Levin, renoun stylist.

The Kiowa Five Pochoir Prints 1929

I am so amazed that these prints are from five different artists (Spencer Asah, Jack Hokeah, Stephen Mopope, Monroe Tsatoke, Lois Smoky, and James Auchiah)- the style seems so consistant.  To see more prints go to the original post on BibliOdyssey.

Christopher David Ryan

I like these works by Christopher David Ryan.  I’ve seen his more illustrative work around a lot, but I like these because they feel like more of a departure.  Very serene.

Etsy find: Little Sapling Toys

These are lovely, simple wooden toys for infants.  I’m especially charmed by the rattle pictured below.
