Like they say, third time’s the charm! Still no response from either the first or second named winners of the Courtney Khail Stationery and Design contest, sooooo it’s time to call out to a third… Kelly of Proficiscamur! Kelly please (please!) email me your contact information and I’ll pass it on to Courtney so we can get those gorgeous peony cards in your hot little hands!
I’m intrigued by these awesome round dice. A mini-weight makes sure only one number sits on top when they’re rolled. So pretty.

I’ve always been a lover of things that are type-based and really graphic looking. Roll & Tumble Press is my perfect match. Now, which to choose? Here are just a few of my favorites.
Can you imagine having a Table Tap sitting out to serve water at your next dinner party? Inspired by science (natch) and so much fun.

This pineapple cake is so delish that you’d never guess it was lactose- and fat-free!

Posted In recipesLove the idea behind this project – it reminds me of my childhood. With a much more aesthetic end result!
A spinning-top, that uses a pen as the spindle, represents many of the core ideas behind my current work. It is recognisable, un-intimidating, and invites people to interact with objects that can lead to unpredictable results, or an emergent property. Simply through indulging in the enjoyable process of spinning the top a bi-product is created. Where the pen marks the surface, a beautiful map of the experience and events that have occurred is produced. I am able to draw, but I am not particularly talented at it and yet found that, through the interaction with these objects, I have created drawings that I am more proud of than any I have done before.
And now you can buy your own Drawing Top at Thomas Forsyth’s etsy shop! Get spinning.
