For this week's Shelf Sunday, I'm moving away from the kitchen and over to the bookshelf, as I have just received a copy of Charlotte Rivers' new book, "I Love Stationery".
It's beautifully designed, by Emily Portnoi, and is crammed with letterpress, screenprint, collage, and calligraphic stationery.
As well as showcasing examples of bespoke stationery, it also is full of advice about technique, tools, tips and resources.
And, I'm in it! Well, some of my cards...
Mr.PS greeting cards made with screenprinted collage lettering.
Other lovely print and paper folk featured include Heart Zeena and Skinny La Minx.
The book is split into 8 chapters, each concerned with a different technique. Within each catergory there is a wide selection of inspirational designs, and also a brief interview with each designer.
Each chapter starts with an overview of the method involved, so if you like the look of what can be achieved, you will have a grounding on how to proceed with doing-it-yourself.
A lovely little handy book for designers and craft fans. Hooray!
