St James Bible

Donald Jackson is a illuminating/ lettering God who actually has a scriptorium. http://www.saintjohnsbible.org

   

AIGA of Minnesota has a lot of wonderful events (and people) and one of them was to McIntosh Embossing, embossing and foil masters, to view proofs of the St. James Bible that they are currently adding touches to. I wish I took these with a good camera because I'd love to print them out and put them on my wall. It is the most beautiful, and unexpected bible, I've ever seen. I might have to buy some of the prints, since I can't afford the hundreds of thousand dollar limited edition, or the heritage one the Vatican is getting, and even these are quite pricey. 

1957 Gelatine explained

I was so excited to come across this! It's a booklet on gelatine from 1957! Nowadays a book on gelatine seems ridiculous, but the way the tabs are done is quite smart and a lot of the illustrations could be contemporary. The later cookbooks from the 70s seem so dated with faded photographs and bad color correction. I do have a slight obsession with flat simple illustrations so it might explain why I think these are so neat! and handsome :)
