Day 12

November 19, 2014

Pulling a page from the @jessicahische workbook: procrastiworking. I should be organizing my seriously messy studio. Instead, I've been cutting some fun freehand #geometric #linoleum blocks to be printed on kids' clothes.

We loved working with Erin & Randy to create an invitation that was modern and vintage, plastic plates and lead type, and incorporated a pattern from an architectural detail in their house. We'd love to talk to you about your wedding, too! #wedding #invitation #letterpress #custom #bespoke #eurekaca #midcentury

#tbt to a wedding invitation we did earlier this year. This is totally our jam: 2-color linocut illustration and simple, elegant type. Flat printed save-the-date postcard, letterpress printed invitation and RSVP card. (Now accepting projects for weddings after November 1, 2017.)

That's almost 2 hours of work right there. Time flies when you're working on a new print and getting caught up on podcasts.

Let's try something new! This Saturday, 10am to 9pm (minus an anniversary dinner break with my hubby 4-6pm) come print your own thank you card. We'll have the small press set up with the type and gold ink shown. Choose your own envelope, and print the card yourself for $5. Limit 5 per person. It's fun and anyone can do it! Each Saturday we'll have a different card to print, so please comment with card suggestions.

We're the second best! Thanks for nominating and voting for us in the North Coast Journal's Best of Humboldt contest. We didn't run a vote-getting campaign, and we didn't pay for advertising, so we're pretty flattered that you guys remembered. 😊 Thanks! (And that's our building on the cover!! @jon.web )

This Saturday is Arts Alive! in Old Town Eureka. Our featured artist is Jody Himango. She'll be showing her stunning nature and landscape photos at Just My Type Letterpress all of August. The photos are printed on birch panels so the wood grain shows through the light areas... they're really beautiful. Come on down, meet Jody and see her work!

With a subtle pattern flat printed in the background, and a pattern in the handset type, Myopia Press has done a lovely job with August. I hope all those Redwood Chappel members have their wheels turning for those 2018 calendar pages! October will be here soon!
