courtney's exhibit

Of all the exhibit mailers I sent out, here is the first one to come back. Thanks Court! It's an awesome exhibit of her busy busy New York City life:

#1: "A perfectly symmetrical fall leaf. Waverly & Washington Square West"

#2: "Regular Wednesday chiropractor appointment"

#3: "Note for Lauren re: paying the cable bill and warning her of mushroom in Mom's stew."

#4: "My Lifesaver. (jack's coffee)"

#5: "Two trees drawn by my kindergartners after seeing me draw a tree. by: Eli & Jackson"

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:
