Love Made Visible

The work of Masha D’Yans caught my eye at the Stationery Show for the quality of color and brushwork alone. She had the above right displayed quite large and it was such a breath of fresh air. Be sure to visit her and see the rest because the above is not even the best of what she has. So hard to choose! Gorgeous stuff.

The visual aesthetic at Seraph is modern yet elegant with great typography and fantastic illustrations. Check out the fashion and the animal illustrations. The colors are layered beautifully as well.

The Patisserie Card Co.‘s booth was so adorable and was designed with a traditional patisserie in mind. The work is so sweet and playful. A lot of it reminds me of icing on cookies and old fashioned cookie and candy packaging. Beautiful work.

The work of Mr. Boddington has a very old world style. Wax seals, hand calligraphy, presidential looking design are a part of the feel of the studio. Overall a very stately yet fun effect. The work shown in the booth was incredibly tactile with quirky typography from both typefaces and hand lettering. This booth was one of my favorites.

Flipping through this month’s Vogue I came across this adorable trunk in the Last Look. It’s made by French accessories maker, Pinel & Pinel and is made specifically for the ingenius Brompton Folding Bicycle. The trunk is made of leather and is available in 51 colors for both interior and exterior. (I was going for white exterior with a shocking pink inside but that’s just me.) You can also choose from 10 colors for your bicycle. So cool.

The work at Que Stien is so delicate with beautiful and intricate borders and detailed illustrations of botanicals. Great colors… it’s what I remember most about this booth. I also remember the fantastic quality and crispness of printing. Gorgeous stuff.
