Drache side of the moon by m4s
In both cases, we really enjoyed their ideas, but think that the portrayal could be improved.
The selection of the winners for this Mademoiselle Contest was difficult…not to say VERY difficult. So finally, we do not have only 2 winners but 3!! Each will earn €1000 for their work to be printed on 500 girly tees from our Mademoiselle collection.
So let me introduce you the 3 treasuries which will dress you up and turn you into “bien jolies Mademoiselles”:
Les rouquines de la plage by Beyond the Chuch’
Printed on a white A-Dress.
Just put on a bikini and your flip flops with this shirt – it’s the perfect accessory for a perfect summer day at the beach!
•••
This is Lulu’s song by Lulu
Lulu also belongs to the winners. With just one colour, she hit the mark. This black-and-white version is perfect, however, Beyond is already printed on white so we would like to print Lulu’s song on an A-Dress in mauve.

Mice Love Jewelry by Zutto
Adaptation to a Puffed sleeved in seefoam, which is the most suitable cut for this work.

The Wooden Toy Publishing Co. is ran by friend, Timba Smits is not what you’d think.
It is in fact an independent micro-publishing house or as it appears a sort of cultural art blog “appealing to creative addicts and culture fiends alike.”
It is mainly a magazine with “5000 individually numbered copies distributed 2 times per year, Wooden Toy Quarterly is not only a publication worth collecting for its themed editions alone, but for its aim to document and highlight emerging and established creatives that have in some way been influenced by contemporary culture, design and art while drawing in the creatives that we think can be, and are an influence and inspiration to others.”
Take the time to checkout The Wooden Toy Publishing Co.
Also make sure to checkout their latest involvement in Lyrics & Type.
Congrats to Routchy for his design:

A great assortment of fonts for any project or style. It’s a small site, but def useful.
The site also includes a few Free Fonts worth trying.
Noteworthy fonts include:
