Remember awhile back when I gave you a tantalizing sneak peek of a letterpress piece?
Well, it’s finally been given to the recipient so here’s the full reveal!
One of my special peeps graduated from a Master’s degree in creative writing and poetry, so as a gift, I printed one of her poems with letterpress and framed it. I loved how the calming grays and blue turned out too. ( I need to take better photos — this setting was dusk and was too dark. Just was excited to share with you all!)

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!
