can't sleep.

I just went through a pile of letterpress things I printed and books I bound... and then I got to thinking about woodtype and how long it's been since I printed. 72 days!! There is just something about wood type, before it's even printed or inked, that I just love. The smooth type, dented, scratched and solid.... It's not just wood type keeping me up tonight, it's colors too. I love mixing a beautiful teal blue and then contrasting it with a warm orangish yellow (like a burt's bees chapstick)... Here are some pictures of things that I want around me right now:

EXHIBIT

Oh office supplies, how I love thee. Tonight I sat down to "make" things, however living in a sublet apartment with minimal supplies I was surprised at my lack of creation tools. In other words, I miss you: typewriter, dry-transfer letters, scissors and envelopes. But post-its, glassine envelopes and exhibit stickers in hand, I have a little mail art project. It sets sail (post) tomorrow. If you want one, by all means, let me know!

Something happened to me, I check facebook WAY too much- so this project is my break from that, I'm asking for real, tactile, samples from my friends lives. I want them to pick up a feather on their way to work, or a receipt from their morning coffee, or maybe it's a movie ticket- it's anything! It's saved in an envelope, labeled and sent back to me! Lucky me. I'll post the results afterwards, and I hope it's a project that can grow!! I'm taking you down facebook. Mail "Exhibits" are the newest and hottest networking tools.

Print me out and Hang me up!!

Here are the images of the wedding invitations I printed for a San Fran style wedding! Erik did the beautiful drawing for the invites... and we get to go to the wedding too! Woo hoo!
