    With close to 2Gs worth of letterpress goods, let’s hope I sell something! If I do, the Etsy shop might be closed for a few days while I re-print, and stock back up, here’s to wishful thinking :)

    Real Bride: Kirstin Final

    Posted in: Custom, Wedding

    Near the final rounds, this design came about because the bride was having a ceremony canopy made out of trees, and evidently birch trees were either part of the landscaping or just one of her favorites exact details are slipping my mind right now. The blind impression turned out so cool on this invite as the shadowing gave a really great letterpressed element to the trees. This design started out quite ornate and then got simpler as we worked on it more. By the time it printed I just couldn’t believe my eyes! There’s so much mystery in it that I love, thanks Kirstin for such a great letterpress project to work on, this is one of my favorites to date.

    Real Wedding RIII : Northenscold

    Posted in: Custom, Wedding

    So I’ve posted proofs here and here for a summer letterpress invitation suite for Kirstin. This was another design presented as a minimalist night sky. The fiance is studying aerospace engineering and initially we discussed the option of astrology, however the fiance wasn’t too keen on the astrology theme. Instead we pursued the night sky in a more abstract way, utilizing negative space and texture (keeping in mind that it would look stellar letterpressed) and used it to our advantage. Typography in this one is getting closer to what Kirstin was looking for as well as getting closer to a nature theme that reflected the event and their lifestyle.
