Let it swim
I was delighted to see one of my Live What You Love prints featured in this great article on Etsy :: Etsy Success: Work It on Kaboodle. Thank you so much!!
I actually never used Kaboodle before, but after reading this article, I think I will try… have you been using it? Do you like it?
Lovely Bekka from minted condition tweeted that she saw one of my Live What You Love prints at Dwell on Design! (See the great report from Bekka at Oh Joy! blog.)
What a nice frame and what an honor! Made me so happy, thank you so much, Bekka, for taking pictures!!! :)
Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July and are enjoying a nice long weekend… xo Hijiri
I knew this day would come someday… (I am really grateful to my customers!) I printed Live What You Love Special Edition in poster size! It was another fun thing to print, working with linoleum is always nice :)
Please enjoy the behind-the-scene photos here…
Using the tracing paper on top of the letter “O” area where the heart would be and draw the heart shape…
Trace the heart shape onto linoleum…
and curving time!
On Vandercool press — after inking, curve any excess area off so it prints clearly.
Take the first color gray poster…
and print on top — I didn’t have to adjust the placement this time :) ((aww so cute… gets me every time…))
and pink!
Here are final products…

Lovely Jen from Made by Girl told me about that my Live What You Love letterpress print has been in the Elle Decor UK magazine April issue a while ago and also, my friend Susan mentioned the same thing to me… but when I went to a bookstore to see it in my eye, the new issue was already out and so I thought I totally missed it…
and Jen just sent me the page — she found in her hard drive! Yes, it’s my print in this sleek kitchen! Yay!

Thank you so much, Jen!! xo
p.s Does anyone out there have this April issue that you are done with and that I can have?? That would be awesome if you do! Let me know.
