Love lives here and now

The weekend is almost upon us! I would like to present a few interesting links that you can distract yourself with 'til it gets here:

Have you ever seen fireflies in a jar?

Angular, beautiful jewellery

That Kate takes such lovely photos

A really diverse collection of poster & flyer design

CSS explained in plain english

What a magical woodland might look like in spring (via Sherm)

The history of the English language in 10 minutes (via Najiah)

(Amazing photo + hand-lettering by Kateryna)

Illustrated stories

In 2010, Anne Ulku and Van Horgen created & illustrated a six word story each day, inspired by Ernest Hemmingway. This year, they started Six Word Story Every Day, and invited creatives to contribute their own illustrated stories.

It was so hard to pick just six, because there's so much good stuff there. I love how the transformation from text to image adds yet another layer of meaning to these pithy phrases.

Anyone can send them a story, so if you're feeling artsy, why not have a go at creating one!
