Custom Munny: R50 Munny Part 2
I made some progress with my first custom Munny figure. I should have washed it first in soapy water (to get that factory coating off). It would have made drawing on it a whole lot easier. It’s alright though, I’ve erased enough to remove 90% of the coating. Though, it is definitely tougher to draw on these guys than I thought. And drawing a symmetrical design is killing me.

I love Bakerella
Bakerella is scrumdidlyumptious. She creates confections that are crafted to perfection. I stumbled upon this website today and I simply can’t take my eyes off of it. I adore crafty baking, so this site is like heaven in two and a half clicks. The photography is brilliant. It really carries the site… makes it oh-so-inviting. Bakerella even shows you behind the scenes, shares her recipes and more.
I can’t even describe it properly. Go give her a visit and be prepared to be amazed.

My Favorite Font: Aeronaut
Monday’s Favorite Font is Aeronaut by FaceType. This font has that classic German gothic look, with a refreshing flare. Aeronaut breathes new life into the deep dark world of gothic fonts. And let me say, it’s hard to make these kinds of fonts feel new and different. Moderately priced at MyFonts.com. Definitely an amazing addition to any collection.

This Is Not The Blueprint 3
Though this may look like an outtake from the photo shoot for Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 album cover, it is See Through by Helga Steppan. About this project:
“See Through is a series of twelve photographs. In which I audited all my personal belongings and divided them into a full spectrum of colour groupings.”
Really interesting stuff. Makes me want to do this in my home… but that wouldn’t be such a good idea. Lots of work. And it might make me go insane.
