I love paper. I love things made of paper. Hard copy books, letters, postcards, origami…you name it.
Here’s a site for my fellow anachronistic lovers of pressed tree pulp: Telegram Stop.
Once upon a time, telegrams were the only means of transmitting written messages over distance without physically transporting letters. Most kids today will probably never even learn the history of telegraphy.

Gather ’round, Geeklings! Crooked Brains just posted a fantastic roundup of various periodic table renditions. They included the Periodic Table duvet cover I posted previously.
Some other favorites:
One of the finest nerd mobiles I’ve laid eyes on!
Periodic table of cupcakes:
I would absolutely hang this in my kitchen.
Literalism, FTW!
Amazing craftsmanship…

And if you missed it, check out the Periodic Table of Fictional Elements.
Anyone into Hot Rod or Kustom Kulture should check out Jake’s Chop Shop.
I have a feeling the gallery photos don’t do justice to how awesome these custom beds, sofas, chairs and other items really are.

I think there are actually more photos on the myspace link than the standard website.
I just stumbled upon PressaRussa on Etsy. What an adorable (and sometimes mildly subversive) collection of letterpress creations.
Who could refuse an invitation like this? Love it…

Graphic designer and handlettering artist Sarah Maxey made a poster with a quote that could be stamped on pretty much everything I make.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve stayed home just to be crafty.
Another favorite piece from Ms. Maxey (do I detect a brain design?):

I don’t like missing days of posting, but sometimes non-blog life demands a little extra attention. I hope to be back in the swing of things tomorrow.
Granted, every elusive cryptid on record has had more sightings than SheWalksSoftly in a bathing suit. But if I had the courage to show some skin, it would be fun to wear something like this (note: I do not have the courage).
Dead sexy.
I’ve been getting a craving to paint on clothing and shoes…
What a great idea for a greeting card and/or stationary…a happy devil, skating through a frozen hell.
This would be great to send to someone who has seemingly done the impossible.
The human tendency to anthropomorphize never gets old to me. I sit here, staring at inanimate objects, KNOWING they are inanimate…yet neurons keep firing in my brain that endow these objects with human pathos.
There’s been a trend of emotional robots surfacing around the Internet these days (I love every minute of it).
Anton Tang makes brilliant use of our inability to avoid feeling something for objects placed in human positions and situations in his series of tiny cardboard people placed around Singapore.
Magical!
