Books + RGB = Super Nerdy Love

If you read Craftzine.com you’ve probably seen this already: an amazing flickr group called “Rainbow of Books” dedicated to pictures of people’s bookcases that have been organised by colour.

This excited me so much I had to go and rearrange our book case. And that was when I discovered that a lot of my books are in a big packing box somewhere or strewn across the cosmos… and the rest have either black or white spine art. Lame!

Most of my books have black or white spines

Why do the Harry Potter books have three blocks of three very different colours on the spines? I literally pondered for five minutes at this quandry. My “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” books are all different editions, therefore all have different spine art, therefore are all split up in the RGB spectrum. This annoyed me much.

Will I go to drastic lengths to rectify this? Probably not ;)

Free vectors – Flowers

This post marks the first of my free vector shapes posts, and today I’m offering a cute flower shape in positive and negative. I saw this flower in a piece of fabric and thought it’d be nice to turn into a vector shape for future use.

Bittbox.com has been offering fabulous FREE vector resources for ages, and I thought I’d give something back after having so many sites (like bittbox.com) help me out when I need a random vector and I only have half an hour!

Stay tuned for more free vector based shapes and brushes on a weekly basis!
