Still Stimudents, but different paper.
Day 8 – DSED
Still with the Stimudents.
Day 7 – DSED
Day 6 – DSED
Day 5 – DSED
Every day can’t be a winner, I guess.
Day 4 – DSED
… not so minimalist today. Definitely.
Day 3: DSED
Day 2: Design Something Every Day. A minimalist C — first one off this morning. The ink didn’t penetrate the inner tines of the Stimudent pack, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to duplicate it for the next 30 letters or so. So this is it.
Stick-and-Band Books + Bookmarks + Lettering
A couple of weeks back, I made some stick-and-band books and some bookmarks for a tiny little crafts fair. I took pictures of the lot of them, but discovered later that the card wasn’t in the camera.

I never got around to making the greeting cards, though. Maybe some day.
“Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.”
I think this is a good quote for a birthday card. Speaking of which, I’m planning to be a lot better about sending out birthday cards this year. (It wouldn’t take much to be a lot better!) Now I’ve got a good reason to finish the greeting cards.
P.S. I meant to mention that I was reminded of this stick-and-band structure by this post on Pam Sussman’s blog.
Day 2: DSED
Day 2: Design Something Every Day. I’m continuing in the Stimudent vein for awhile.

My plan, dubbed “Circadian Characters,” is to create and blog a letter a day. The theme for the first 26 letters, at least, is “Wood.” Here’s the first Character of the New Year, done with a pack of flat wooden toothpicks (Stimudents):
