Don't ask what the
world needs.
Ask what makes you
come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Stanwell Park Beach House
Images & design by Casey Brown Architecture - Published in Modern Architecture | Coastal Homes
"This modern holiday home, designed for both entertaining and family vacations, consists of three attached pavilions in local stone, timber and copper, overlooking Australia’s Stanwell Park beach and the Pacific Ocean.
Situated on a steep site, the building features separate levels and a series of decks, allowing external, yet private, living spaces.
...carefully planned, the different levels also allow a number of families to comfortably enjoy their vacation together."
architecture, australia, coastal, design Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 4:14PM My friend Michelle found the most beautiful letterpress card for her chef of a husband ;)
I'd say Michelle is the first person I've met who drools over great works of letterpress as much as I do!!
Plus she totally gets my random explanations for things:
T - Hey, you know that guy with the thing...
M - Oh yeah, smelly guy in the yellow striped shirt!
T - Ya him!
Hahaha, wow - sidetracked easily! Back to some fantastic letterpress!!!!!!
the female dog collection is letterpress printed in two colors on fine italian-made paper. each card measures 3.25″ × 5″ and comes individually sleeved with a matching white envelope.
"Gilah Press + Design is a boutique letterpress and design studio. We’re dedicated to giving our clients the very best marketing and design solutions out there. We like to think our eye for design is rivaled only by our attention to detail.
Some say we’re obsessed. We prefer to think of ourselves as nit-picky perfectionists with incredibly high standards. Either way, we’re confident you’ll be happy with the outcome.
We’re not ones to brag, but we can’t help if others do it for us. Our award-winning designs have been featured in Food & Wine, Print, HOW and Lucky, to name a few.
We’re disciplined graphic designers. We’re also masters of the centuries-old form of letterpress printing. We have five hand-fed platen letterpresses perfect for printing limited color, small run items. If you’re a designer and you’re looking for a letterpress, let’s talk. We’re more than accommodating."

(Lucero played a different gig for Sat night)
Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 12:10PM I came across the fantastic duo of Jordi Gisbert, and Veronica Coloma (product & graphic designers) which make up Ham & Cheese from Spain.
"...which follow the philosophy of the sandwich developing all projects with a smart combining of simple elements to make fresh ideas and innovative with a special flavor."
Glob by Ham & Cheese
"Glob is more than just a children's lamp. The idea merges thinking about som children fears and the need to have a light point to sleep. Glob's body is soft as a cuddly toy, so the child can sleep huging him, his eye lights up, but doesn't heat. The child can control the intensity of the light just pressing both hands of the toy at the same time, this way, child can use a softer light to sleep and increase intensity if he wants to go to the bathroom or to their parents room.
Glob is available in five colors and two sizes, the XL (110cm) and the standard one (30cm). Choose yours and paint it! draw an eye on its screen, a face or a big smile!"
