Stukenborg makes posters with intriguing patterns, sure, and the fact that these patterns are developed using regular old dice makes them even more interesting. After arranging the pieces one by one on the base of a letterpress, Stukenborg rolls on the ink and presses each print. (via Dudecraft, via Paper Crave)

I just stumbled across the aptly-named DIY wedding blog, 'I do' It Yourself. Written by an Aussie art director and wedding-stationery-designer, the site is full of project tutorials that are wedding-appropriate—though most can probably be adapted for other uses, too.
