cool currency

I love this currency redesign by Dowling | Duncan for the 2010 Dollar Redesign Project. It's an annual competition by New York based designer Richard Smith to redesign the US dollar. Wouldn't this make you want to hold on to your money for a little longer...they are so pretty to look at!

Happy New Year

And what better way to celebrate the New Year than with this beautiful print by Natalie Tweedie of Nebo Pecklo. It is a letterpress print of her own drawing and you can see more of her creations at her blog here. One of my resolutions for the New Year is to finally use my small tabletop letterpress machine that I purchased back in October!! I cannot wait to make cards, labels, and small prints. So, hopefully this cold weather will allow me some extra time indoors where I can explore some fun projects. Hope everyone has a healthy and happy 2011!!!
