If I keep going at this rate, our weekend in Chicago will have been months past before I get around to telling you about it! So we’ll let the pictures do most of the talking…
A great Friday afternoon at Wrigley!
Buckingham Fountain & Millennium Park
Lincoln Park & the zoo!
There was definitely a gorgeous [...]
Still a little too winded and digging out from under some massive piles of paper & projects, but look at the 93 year old beauty that’s moored in our kitchen (for the moment)!
That’s us, cheers-ing over the ink disc on my brand new (really old!) press! This was pretty much the most celebration we [...]
Printing this morning
After a short, but ridiculously busy first week “in the office” of self-employment, we are headed to Chicago tomorrow morning for the wedding of two great friends this weekend. While I’ll be enjoying the Cubs game Friday, scoping out stationery stores, gift shops, and having a great time with old [...]
How, you ask, is it possible for someone to leave a serious, full-time day job to focus on her bookbinding and letterpress printing, and still feel like there are not enough hours in the day to get to everything she’d like to do? Well, I wasn’t completely sure it was possible…until now. We [...]
Since I threw my hat into the ring as a letterpress printer, I’ve had several inquiries about business cards, mixed in with invitations, cards, and stationery, and I just finished this batch up this week.
These are for a very good friend and (now former!) co-worker, Zoë Block and her business partner, Elyse Sara, [...]
In the process of creating new cards, new designs, new journals, and new albums, I often wonder whether I should just put all of it out here for you to flip through and enjoy, or whether I should be more moderate and deliver certain things at planned times. If you’ve met me…or even just [...]
And the answer is…workin’ hard!
These guys are up on Etsy already, and I have lots more fun Japanese papers to come!
We’re down into the home stretch on days till full time printing and binding begin…some people would argue that those days have already begun, but it’s for real as of next [...]
Just a little midweek update…
A few new journals - covered in Paris maps and vegetable seed packets - making their way to Etsy
And I’ll have several fun new printing projects to share with you soon. Plus, I’ll have some dates soon for bookbinding workshops here in Brooklyn!
For now, we’re just checking things [...]
I know you all probably have the impression that we sit around here with our feet up, sipping fancy summer drinks and grilling on the roof…but I swear we do some work, too!
This last week has been a particularly busy one, putting together a lot of letterpress quotes for printing projects, working on some new [...]
Despite the seemingly constant drizzle, we’ve managed to have a pretty wonderful time of things over this long weekend…a little grilling (which I think made Matt ready to move to the suburbs, just for a yard), some very healthy rooftop plants that are a sure sign it’s nearly mid-July, and fireworks all around!
