I’m a sucker for any unique letterform, so of course I instantly loved the SOAP soap from Karen’s Soap Co., but the more I browsed her shop the more clever soaps I found.

Because I’m a total nerd, I regularly read the I Love Typography and We Love Typography blogs. We Love Typography is a feast for the eyes whether you’re into letterforms and design or not — there’s some really beautiful work posted there.

You could say I jumped into letterpress head first. I made this limited edition book in a book arts class in college. The majority of it was printed within one week — why? Because I am a crazy person. I had no idea how much time and work it would take, but I’m still in love with the results.
I have 9 of these books left, on sale here.
