Week of January 19th:
A weekly list of goodies that I’ve forced myself not to buy.
(You know, because I’m broke.)
Ever since I read Craft Boom’s review of the Artisan 800 I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the Artisan 700. It’s basically the 800′s kid brother. You know, without the fax functions that I don’t need.
Since I am attempting to save money at the moment I’m trying to put off its purchase for as long as possible, but my current printer is so lame that I’m bound to buckle under the pressure soon enough.

Wow. So lovely and intricate. I can’t imagine how long it takes to weave the band of a ring like this. Quite the statement piece! Available here. Found via here.
The more I look at things, the more I understand my own style better. Lately, instead of just an “Oh, I like that” reaction, I’ve been thinking about why I like the things I do. What I’ve learned is that my style is simple+. The design can’t be too ornate or look like it’s trying too hard, but it can’t just be straightforward, plain-jane minimalism either. It’s gotta have something. Some flare.
And, wowza! See right here? This is a perfect example of the style I love. It’s simple, with clean lines but also has flourish enough to make it stand out from the crowd.
