The literature is the host in this case and I say that is a tasty new, considering that usually we talk about something else different. I do not read more like when I was child, that time when I burned mountains of printed paper in a few days and sometimes even happened to reread obsessively some books. The books have a charm all their, is for content that depends on our tastes, both for the presentation. The cover is also important, and... ok I know that it says not to judge a book by the cover, but the truth is that many times when you want to buy a book at random, without know nothing about the content or author, the first glance helps and the cover art, when it is well done, can be a wonderful discovery.
For the rest sometimes happens to suffer the charm of print and paper, for what I am concerned, at the end of reading the book is already different than when I opened the first time, Although this has happened a few days before. Don't really know what it is, but many small imperceptible things change, like micro aging or involuntary creases that you make when you fiddle with the corners while you read… all these small variations do seem to have spent a whole existence immersed in reading to be changed and enhanced living adventures read.
In this case, in my usual wanderings on the web I stumbled two special characters working with literature. Ok, not in the same manner of writers or publishers or printers or… but they are closer to printed paper with a touch of artistic eye for our taste and the usual added value that we like so much. Our first discovery (that which will be discussed in this article) It is a very Nordic girl who has created a collections call Litterary flowers and, guess a little? It is to unite the skillful art of recycling to good taste and your printed paper flower is ready for you without even the need to water them! Regarding the character number two you will have to wait to discover something, what I anticipate is that he's a jewel artist.
Cecilia Levy is a really interesting character that I'd followed for a whole day to haunt with my questions (presumably a bit saucy). The fact is that the inventor of Litterary flowers is a real box (paper box... of course) of ideas and suggestions for interesting projects nifty. Therefore our paper artists comes from Sweden and for what I think her innate caution towards nature is exemplary and imitate, but what interests us is her focus on recycling, art to transform one thing that does not serve in a new form of art. Founded originally as graphic designer with a passion for’illustration and while she teached graphic design at the’Institute d’Art by Göteborg make time to learn the difficult art of creative binding. Bookbinding, paper, illustration and graphic design are the keywords of this multifaceted character who continues to teach through private workshop.
Her portfolio is really rich of material to explore in all its forms and graphics minimal site within reach of all sections in which divides her work. However, what strikes me is the wide range of experimentation and contamination between different disciplines that deals with shapes that arise from these combinations are simple and inspired nature for the simplicity sought. I usually have some difficulty with people like Cecilia because, I really don't know how to define their work, I don't know if they are designers or artists. The correct word, according to me, is artisans. Why join the design features of the designer and "artistic sparkle" that most often determines the success of a project, In addition, the physical size remains closely linked to laboratory.
To return to the original speech, in this care literature purchases, if ever there was a need, a value not so much decorative but because it emphasizes the craft by increasing the value of handicraft, such paper bowls, you can't use to eat, but they have an impact not only artistic, but also thanks to the scenic beauty of paper.
On the site loulouandoscar.com you can read a nice interview with Levy. To see her works may follow her numerous channels like the site, the flikr and blog, where shares some of her experiences. If you have had the good fortune to participate in a workshop please tell me, so everybody can enjoy the experience! Litteraly paper II following a second article… Don't miss it!
