flatto 81 greeting card

My good friend who is a graphic designer and lives in the Netherlands has started her new project with 2 other artists called "Flatto81".
It is a social design project, creating greeting cards with using natural and non-toxic pigments, without any additives or drying agents.
I ordered and their cards have beautiful colors and design, and I could feel it's high quality of the papers in my hands.
I can't wait to see their new lines in the future.

pitchers

I tried to make mold before and I did not like it. I just could not find the "joy" of handcrafting in mold process and I think my hands are the molds anyway.
My friend Margaret told her students that it is good to start with pinching bowls in the beginning of the year, in her firs class of 2012. Something about using your hands calms you down and brings a peaceful feeling to you.
I agree with it.
