here are a few more images of the pop-up card (bacause i don’t have much else to post about this week)
me news
laser-cut, pop-up card
a follow up to a similar project i made, almost exactly five years ago: a laser-cut, pop-up card for my new son luuk charly pyper
the card is printed on heavy white stock in two pantone colours and the pop-up letters plus fold lines were die-cut by laser, using tiny perforation dots and then hand folded (by me) the illustration was made by his big sister keet…
fish, bread and wine
this is great: apparently michelangelo had a servant who (like most people at the time) was illiterate… so he wrote this shopping list for her (dated 1518) complete with a menu of small pictograms to help with getting the daily groceries…
sobremesa
interesting collection of untranslatable words in various languages, although strictly speaking they are translatable but do not have an exact equivalent word in other languages… but maybe i am being a bit pedantic :)
old stuff for free
in a similar move to the amsterdam’s rijksmuseum recently (and many other institutes) the british library has published over one million images from their collection online, free for personal use… largely consisting of book etchings/illustrations and victorian curiosa
