The countdown is on for Valentines day, my second favorite holiday of the year. So in honour of St. Valentine, I am sharing inspirations, tales, ideas, and images of My True Loves. Soak them in & celebrate these weeks of waiting, sentimentally.
To begin, it’s certainly not cheating if I am in love with a font, or twenty. Here’s one I desire. It’s called Desire, and it’s designed by lettering artist Charles Borges de Oliveira. With hundreds of ligatures and alternates, the sky’s the limit.Yippee.
“Always choose the right font.” People notice even though they don’t realize it. Heirloom’s –The Art of Marriage– Wedding Suite created for Stephanie and Clayton Kissel and their wedding at Fonthill Castle, told their true love story, with text.
This font is Absinthe. It’s just perfect.
This weekend I had an urge to start making things. Little things out of little things. I found plastic pieces, paper, buttons and glue and all I wanted to do was spend a day building stuff. The kids were home, but sadly, no one shared my enthusiasm.
Not sure why…because as I recall, just last February, on one particular snowday, the EXACT same three children and I had the urge to BUILD some Valentines. There was no special trip to the store, no pre-planning. We just loaded the table with our STUFF and began creating. I hope our story inspires you this February.
1. It helps to start with a good frosty day.
2.Grab good stuff & just place on table.
3. Separate, review, put on some music and then build build build!
