This is the blog of a woman ive been dealing with for bene.

a native of rome now living in new england, she makes stationery and books and such, all by hand. her business website is here.

i feel like a bit of a charlatan (a charlatanette?) doing a design post, but after writing a blurb about her new line of invitations, i found that i was in my boxers. her work had honestly charmed the pants off me. and she just let me know about her blog - not even knowing i blog - and i know a portion of my minute readership is into design...so whoomp here i am, giving her the 'ol blue basilica shout-out.

some of angela's work is a collaborative effort with a woman living in rome, with whom she grew up in the same apartment building! i have no idea if that sentence makes grammatical sense, but i had a tough enough time articulating it for the mag - im not gonna spend all day with that again! anyway, pretty cool; you grow up next to someone, then years later you're designing stuff with her despite the ocean between you.

very interesting how people are in large part products of their era. these two women grew up just in time - the internets being a crucial component of their collaboration. they could never have imagined doing this work while talking to each other on their cups and strings back in the day.

and i have thusly turned this into a mundane philosophy post as well. that's more like it.
