Although I wasn’t sure it could be done, I did manage to take a break from books & printing over the weekend and still maintain a pretty good streak of new work! I have several new wedding albums and guest books that I’m working on these days, and a guest book that incorporates a little personalized letterpress printing on the cover page of which I’m particularly proud.

The covers are a Japanese silkscreened autumn garden patterned paper, with a chocolate brown satin ribbon to tie. The printing on the cover page (still under wraps, for now!) is the names & date of the wedding couple in a pale blue that matches the background of the cover paper.

Matt also just added several new letterpress cards & albums to the gallery section of the site…enjoy! There’s much more coming (as always!), and a pile of fun projects just waiting for me to get to them, one by one this week.

It’s been busy around here, to say the least, but saying that definitely reinforces some sort of broken-record theme. Newfound self-employment means new schedules, new patterns, new routines, and all of that is definitely still just coming into place. Everything is building nicely and I’m attempting to keep my goals in mind as I go through the day…somewhere in between the 5 zillion thoughts running through my head at any given moment. Every time I stop to think about it, it amazes me how lucky I am, to be able to do the work I love. Despite the constant busy-ness, these circumstances still seem pretty unreal, but the more this new work and life come in to focus, the more real and exciting it becomes.
