Sweet Calligraphy

Posted in DIY on September 22, 2009 by highpointhouse

I just stumbled upon the amazing hand lettering of  Betsy Dunlap

IMG_0910I’ve always loved the art of hand lettering and this is probably my favorite that I’ve ever seen!

Someone please send me an invitation like these!  I plan on having some sort of event just to practice my calligraphy. :)

Masked love

Posted in Autumn, Halloween, Holiday, Off Topic on September 22, 2009 by highpointhouse

While searching Etsy for “Halloween” I came across this amazing seller.  I thought I would share:

Tom Banwell for Etsy.com

halloween mask

New for 2009. 
This mask has a hint of an Egyptian motif. The movement of the fans held by the attendants of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt symbolized breath, and therefore life itself. This delicate mask is cut out of 3-4 oz vegetable tanned leather, then wet formed to fit a face. After drying it is dyed red. Very lightweight. Can be worn comfortably for hours. Comes with an adjustable double strand of elastic.

Hall mask 2

One grasshopper mask and one custom bug mask, green and based on submitted drawing.
Become one with the grasshopper! Wet formed of vegetable tanned 3-4 oz leather, airbrushed in a camouflage pattern in green and brown. Bug eyes are painted pearlescent. Protected with an acrylic sealer.
Lightweight and comfortable. Comes with an adjustable double strand of elastic for a secure fit. Because each mask is handmade the airbrushed colors will vary slightly from the photos.

Just in time for Halloween!
