July from Kate - and cool *number* video

 

Kate has a large collection of hand carved rubber stamps. She used one of them for the border. The cancel looks like it was intentionally positioned - but I'm sure it's machine done. I especially like the way the border is a bit to the left and the way the stamp overlaps. This one get's the steal worthy label - although I'm not sure if I'll get around to carving stamps. I have the supplies - just not sure about the time. I'm writing this a month ahead - and have no idea how far along I will be on my ofrenda project.

As I recall, there are some readers who like number things. The first 40 seconds of this video shows a book that was hand written by someone who loved both penmanship as well as numbers. I'm intrigued with the book and maybe when I am done with the Day of the Dead - I'll comeback and watch a bit more and see if there is anything that inspires fun envelope designs.

The title of the book - The Holey Monster -with 934 faces  - sounds interesting..... reminds me of the giant skull. I wonder how many *faces* there are on that 3D shape.

This example, from the video will either draw you in - or send you screaming in the other direction.

That is an interesting font to pair with complicated math. I think it's a lovely *break* from all the precision and technicality. Or maybe they just wanted something that looked like an old fashioned chalk board.
