Come see me at Let It Glow (November 10th, Seattle).

Hey Seattle! Start (or finish!) your holiday shopping by supporting local artists in one day and one stop. I'll be at Rejuvenation's Let It Glow event on Saturday, November 10th, from 10-5. I'll have a large selection of holiday cards, letterpress notes, gift tags and other goodies. Visit the link above to see who else will be joining me. I hope to see you there!

Cupcakes + Couture.

I had a wonderful time at Cupcakes & Couture yesterday! Trophy Cupcakes is darling, and there were a lot of talented vendors in the room. Good times. Just wanted to share a few photos of the event including me with Santa (!). I told him I've been good this year.

Also, as a reminder, today is the last day for sales to benefit the ASPCA. Visit the shop now to add your contribution. Thanks!

The Wayzgoose.

On Saturday, I attended my first Wayzgoose at the School of Visual Concepts here in Seattle. Oh my goodness, it was a letterpress geek's dream. So, so fun. The hubbers and I particularly enjoyed watching the Steamroller Smackdown. It's exactly as it sounds. A giant steamroller was driven across oversized printing plates to create fairly large posters. Can't wait until next year! Steamroller evidence follows below:


Giant plates are inked up.


Paper is laid across the plates.


The steamroller does its business.


Again with the business.


The print is removed from the plate.


Posters are hung from the school's balconies to dry.


Lovely little presses in the print shop.


A rad set of prints on display in the shop. I want them in our kitchen!
