iWant.

Reason #1 for wanting an iPhone:

When leaving a message for someone with an iPhone, you don't have to listen to some lady give you instructions on how to leave a voice message.

Reason #2 for wanting an iPhone:

A new app called "Kern." Typography lovers, get excited. This app is like a Tetris game where a word with one letter vacant drops from the top of the screen. At the bottom is the missing letter waiting to be aligned with the falling word. You lose points depending on how off your Kerning is. Amazing.






But let me remind you - I drop things. Thus, I should probably never own an iPhone. :(

So, I've been exploring new design blogs lately and here are few darling finds...I wish I had the money to buy these! So cute...

Prints!

I enjoy exploring new ways to do artsy things, so this past semester I got the wild idea to try my hand at screenprinting. After many frustrated evenings of burning screens, not having good water pressure to wash my screens and many other bumps in the road, I got the hang of it. I must thank my man Mondo at Jerry's Art-A-Rama for laughing at me for burning so many screens - he explained I was exposing my screen for too long (10 minutes) instead of 3 minutes. Yes. 3 minutes. I ruined a few screens, but at least I'm on the right page now! Thank goodness!

Here I am making my sister's wedding invitations...



A little closer...



As soon as my sister has mailed out the invitations I'll post the final product on here so you can see the work I did. So much fun! And if you're getting married and want a new style of invitation, e-mail me and we'll work something out! emilygrober@gmail.com.

Other exciting news: My website should be up and running by Tuesday! I'm so excited for the big launch! Woo!

Time for the Super, I mean, Puppy Bowl! Byeee
