incredible sketchbook

My friend from art school and super talented designer, Jessica Shiner, is always tweeting out links to great design work. One of my favorites involves awesome pen sketches by Irina Vinnik.

I am so inspired! I wish I had a sketchbook that looked this amazing.

colorful eggs

In time for Easter, here are some gorgeous (if tremendously time-consuming) options for dying eggs. I love the bright colors and varying techniques.

Easter Surprise Eggs from Not Martha

Dyed and Decoupaged Eggs from Design Mom

Pysanka (Ukranian Eggs) from Illustration Friday

Beautiful and inspiring!

fabulous packaging

Here are some gorgeous and truly inspiring package designs that I ran into at Creature Comforts. I don't have a lot of experience with package design but seeing things like this makes me want to branch out!

Designed for Marks & Spencer by illustrator Stuart Kolakovic. I feel soothed by this tea without even drinking it.

Designed for Life.NK from Space.NK by illustrator Mio Matsumoto. I love the simplicity of each illustration and the relationship to each product's intended affects. So cool!

Designed for 8th Continent by artist Ben Javens. I love the use of color and the consistency across the flavors while still having each one look unique and identifiable.

Great packaging makes my day.
