2016 by Julide Belen

Julide Belen is a talented letterer and designer in every right, but her quilling work simply blows me away. I love that she takes this Renaissance era technique and creates completely modern, clean pieces. Her 2016 quilled numbers are for a graduation program, but I think they are perfect to celebrate the end of 2015 and the beginning of a fresh year. Awesomely, she shares in progress shots over on her Instagram if you're into that.

Advertisements From the British Library

The British Library is a huge leader in sharing their archives with the public. I have featured work from this collection on this blog a few times. See the list of great photo resources here, this amazing Armstrong Photo Engraving Ad, and these gorgeous illustrated letters. This huge collection of vintage advertisements is amazing. Here are just a few images from this outstanding set.
