Word art and book design

This is a wonderful UK blog/website I came across which is about the art and design and look of words - check out the messages/words made in clouds, concrete, coins, on tree trunks, in signs, buildings, pavements.… It is worth waiting for the pictures to download http://www.ministryoftype.co.uk/words/category/C12/
"The Ministry of Type is a weblog by me, Aegir Hallmundur, about type, typography, lettering, calligraphy and other related things that inspire me."

While on the subject of word as art, NZ artist / calligrapher / book designer Sarah Maxey has a website with a scrolling parade of her art work http://www.sarahmaxey.co.nz/
Kate De Goldi chose Sarah to design the cover for her brilliant, award-winning book The 10 PM Question.
