Hand-drawn invites
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 10:28AM Just saw this kick-butt birthday invite on the fabulous 100 Layer Cake. I love this! I used to write letters on napkins a lot in my younger days (don't ask me why, it's not like I had a shortage of real paper in my house or anything), so it brings me back. I love the hand-lettered message and illustration of the restaurant (how great are the red balloons??). It's all just perfect. The designer behind this lovely invitation is Bryn and she's also a calligrapher - no wonder these look so good! Read more on 100 Layer Cake and check out Bryn's work here.

I saw this on 100 Layer Cake's blog and loved it!
this is so perfect for architects as there's been this tradition of drawing ideas on napkins (or other scrap that's handy when inspiration strikes). i think there are even books out there with architects' napkin sketches collected.
pretty blog, and beautiful letterpress work!
