Came across this beautiful Quilt Card Set by Krank Press on Etsy. Via this treasury, actually. (Thank you for including my work, too!)

Each card is letterpress printed with 5 colors! That is a lot of work and it shows for sure — they are so gorgeous! Love each pattern, too, I just wanna decorate these on my wall…

Live What You Love 9th Edition (New Colors!)

Hijiri — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:23:44 +0000

Just wanted to let you know that I have printed the whole collection of the Live What You Love 9th edition and they are all up and available at my etsy shop!

A couple brand new colors…

I had been wanted to print it in seaform green (one of my favorite colors!) and finally did! :)

Live What You Love letterpress print in Seaform Green:

and I wanted to try some new shade of blue… I didn’t know what to call this blue so I named it “Sweet Blue” — it’s in between baby blue and light steel blue. It’s quite sweet as you can see :)

Live What You Love letterpress print in Sweet Blue:

Along with these familiar colors, too. Oh, these are all printed on 100% cotton Lettra Fluorescent White paper (I’ve been printing on Pearl White) so the colors are more vivid and sharp, I think.

Live What You Love letterpress print in Grass Green (Yellow Green):

Live What You Love letterpress print in Light Grey:

Live What You Love letterpress print in Red:

Enjoy!!

Handmade Portraits: Sharon Montrose

I know I am so late on this, but I just saw this video on etsy blog — Handmade Portraits: Sharon Montrose.

I have been a big fan of her work and so seeing this video was such a treat and I was so inspired by her love of photographing animals. So precious.

Make sure to check out her amazing work here. If she ever takes photos of dachshunds or chinchillas, I am SO getting it…

How about pretty vintage plates today? These sunny deelight vintage plates from Ameelia Bedelia’s Vintage Deelights are making me happy this morning :) Love the yellow color and the pattern.

I really want to try hanging plates in our new apartment since we’ll have our first dining area ever! I will be watching this tutorial over and over and see if I can make it pretty like that… wish me luck!

OK, off to letterpress studio… have a great day, everyone! See you tomorrow…

Hart’s Coffee Tin

Came across this awesome vintage tin from Hart’s Coffee in 1940. LOVE the big red heart (of course) and the letter H symbol, the color combination as well as the fonts. I could stare at it all day…

I’m going to my letterpress studio again today, printing something very sweet…

See you all tomorrow! Have a great day :)
