I’ve been a fan of papercutdiecut, it’s been always on my etsy favorites, but when I saw that they have cutout letters now, my jar dropped! HOW PRETTY!

I bought my letter H as soon as I saw it – can’t wait to receive it!

It is all cutout by hands!

sigh. so beautiful.

I wish my hands could do this! Check out more handmade cutout art work from papercutdiecut.

Came across this cute tea towel with… letter Ts! A little typography in your kitchen anyone?

Love the hand-written Ts, it all looks a little different, and T is definitely for tea towel!

via spin spin handmade from Australia. They have more cute hand-made goods, too!

I just saw Coraline and WOW, I am blown away!!! I just can’t believe this movie is a stop-motion movie, all hand-made, it is just incredible!! I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t already.

The behind scene videos are amazing, too, I especially like this tiny sweaters video — how amazing is this — and this is just one of the millions of things that went into this movie. I just can’t help wowing!!

I didn’t look around too much before I saw the movie and now I want to find more about the movie and so I explored the website and it is so amazing and fun here, I could spend lots of time playing around! You can really interact with the website, but you have to go into the house, scroll around your mouse, etc. to find them.

and yes, all the graphics are just awesome.

I won’t tell you how to get to these, but here are some of the fun I had :)

It is truly the biggest smallest movie EVER!!!

Happy President’s Day, everyone!!

This weekend, if you are in Brooklyn or in New York area, there is a Holiday Craft Market going on in Park Slope. I’ve been always a fan of handmade products and I always love to go check out any craft events and since I took a pledge to buy handmade (see the badge on the right hand side!) and now a proud hand-printed shop owner, I will put on my big shoes for this snowy wet street and go check it out this weekend!

More information here.

I wish you all a very nice weekend! See you on Monday for my last letterpress class report.

Today’s Friday morning inspiration is coming from wonderful artist, Hine Mizushima.

I’ve known Hine’s wonderful handmade craft work and her etsy store for a while and it’s always so amazing and so fun to see what she creates. It’s always unexpected, original and very well made.

When I saw this video created all by her, I was blown away! A little details on every shots are just so well done and the story is cute, too. I’ve watched it many times and here it is, “With The Dark” by They Might Be Giants and created by hine:

*For better resolution and more work, please visit her site here.

She has all these cute still shots from the video on her Flickr, too, it is soo cool!

She also has been working on some incredible work for Plush You (click to read her interview), and wow, I am amazed once again!!!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!
