Store Windows, Paper Scraps, & Sulia

Let it be said Best Window Displays is a lovely place to fritter away time.

It's where Hermès windows decorated with quilled mushrooms were spotted.

 

Created by Belgian artists, the colorful scenes were located in Dutch department store de Bijenkorf last winter.

And a little something else from nature... Alison Lang, a Seattle area graphic artist and letterpress designer wondered what to do with strips of cover weight paper that resulted from a card trimming session. She wound up creating this collection of sweet silhouettes.

I spy a hummingbird sipping nectar, blue jay, trees, perhaps an ice floe, and this dear owl.

Perhaps only another paper lover would understand the satisfaction of spending an afternoon in such a pursuit.

One more idea for seeing what else in going on in this big world of ours... recently I've been enjoying and sharing on sulia.com. Have you heard of it? Sulia streams information via channels of personal interest. For example, there are Crafts, Art and Design, and Living channels, just to name a few... possible topics number in the thousands, but because the field is narrowed to your choices, there's no sense of overwhelm. Interact with others or just revel in all of the inspiring content that floats by!
