My partner and I went to Buffalo yesterday so I could finish up my letterpress holiday card workshop. Luckily she brought her camera along, and I have her to thank for these lovely photographs. (Oh, the jealousy is great, but she has been at it (being a photographer) for a lot longer than I.) The picture above is my type in the Vandercook machine. Hopefully in the next day or two I'll be able to post a close-up of the card to show the detail. Yes, I'm proud.
The cards drying on the top are mine.
These are just some gorgeous shot my talented partner took while I was working.
We joined WNYBAC and are already thinking of other things we'd like to do by letterpress. It's such a great, tactile process, and I love the results. I'm hoping to one day have letterpress business/calling cards. I love the idea of having something so old fashioned in a pretty fast-paced modern life.
the prints look great, Claudia!
ReplyDeleteWow, screen printing and letterpress and mailing friends patterns (thanks!), how does a girl do it all? The photos are gorgeous, and the cards look fun. Love that press, and by the way, your blog name. xxox
