Maybelle Calligraphy

Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls’ calligraphy is distinctive: sweet, and yet refined. Whenever I come across it, it puts a smile on my face. (For example, her work for Coriander Girl, a Toronto florist.) I thought I’d give you a peek into Maybelle’s extensive portfolio ….

Bryson Loxley for Trill Farm

Outstanding identity work for Trill Farm by Bryson Loxley (the design duo Gail Bryson and Tamsin Loxley).  Wish there were time to visit every place in England that inspires: Trill Farm, in Devon, looks amazing.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be clicking over to Flickr and hello., Erin’s blog, to see more.
