 Make your own flipbook with this 25 page blank book from The Petite Press. I thought they had a nice well-presented and organized website as well. |

Bakery Calendar
I’m sure if I wouldn’t make a pie with this calendar, but it’s a memorable promotion. I first saw it on swiss miss. But looking at it further, it’s a Photoshop fake, because the letters should be inverted!
Peaclock
 My sister pointed me to this peaclock, a letterpress printed clock face by Dee and Lala. It’s always so much fun finding the unexpected things people do with letterpress printing. Hope you’re having a good holiday, can’t believe the year is almost over! |
Tool Roll-up
 Quite a long time ago now, I wrote about a roll-up I got for my bookbinding tools. It was originally for knitters, but served my purpose. The other day, Sophia Kramer mentioned the roll-ups she makes expressly for binders — made of leather. The one to the right is $42. You can see them here and contact Sophia by email. |

Plaster Cast Letters
Emily started carving letters out of plaster, then figured out how to make molds to produce them in quantity. You can see the finished letters in her Etsy shop Kuber. On her blog she has posts showing how she makes the molds — some successful, some not.
Emily makes her molds using a system called pinkysil, which might only be available in Australia, where she lives. There’s a good blog post here about how to use it. Seems like something to file away under “useful to know about for some future project I haven’t even dreamed up yet…”
