throw fonts

Even though I’m into things like Japanese dolls with huge eyes, and vintage tablecloths, I like to macho things up a bit every now and again. It keeps the boys from gagging when they enter my abode. (In fact, most boys who’ve visited quite like my apartment. Lots to look at. Comfy couch. Big TV. Video games. DVDs. Books. Don’t need anything else really).

If I were cooler than I am (which I think at this point has entirely to do with the disposability of my income - sick cats sucking up much of the funds with which would otherwise be spent on fine millinery and antique paperweights) I would cover my house in the wonderful typographic throw pillows I’ve been coming across lately.

They can be found here (in swirly titling script)

and here (in a deco sans)

and here (in a classic serif)

and here (in a a chunky mid-century serif)

Alas, they are pretty much all out of my price range. If I purchased one of each, the sum total would probably otherwise pay for a turquoise LeCreuset pot, or conversely, a used X-Box 360 - both of which are slightly more desired in this household at the moment - and that seems silly when I can throw together a throw in a couple hours with some two dollar thrift store fabric and a five dollar pillow form.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that I could whip something altogether less expensive up, by myself, if I simply procured a silkscreen and some cheap muslin….
