Birthday invitations

29Jun

My great aunt is turning 80 and I was asked to design and letterpress her birthday invitations — remember the sneak peek? Well here’s the full reveal:

I recently was given some boxes of old supplies that belonged to a local artist in my hometown. I found about 30 cans of Van Son ink — I’m still checking them through as some are pretty old, but what a collection!

I also found a rogue “P” type

But, best of all, I have to announce that along with these treasures is a “{BABY} sister printer” to my Sigwalt: a Gocco printer!

I’ve never tried Gocco printing before but am really excited to try it out!

Workings from the weekend

24May

A wine color and also deep brown on the new paper I tried out – Arturo. It has a nice rough edge (see below) which I like but it’s thinner (260gsm) so it was a bit harder to get that nice deep bite like Crane’s Lettra gives me.
