This video really makes me want to take a calligraphy class, which I have been thinking about for sometime now… I mean, can you imagine handwriting letters like this?! A-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Good morning and Happy Friday!
It’s been so great to be a part of poppytalk handmade “Paper Pops!” this month. It’s ending tomorrow night… if you haven’t already, please check out my virtual booth as well as lots of different talented people’s booth from here.

Also…. to show my appreciation, I posted something on poppytalk handmade artsits blog… The offer ends tomorrow at midnight in east coast time so be sure to check it out!
I got to work on another great custom print for an etsy buyer, Emily : “The Certain Thing is that You Can Change Everything”
My cheat sheet. I can’t print without my printout… it just helps to guide, check spelling, see mirrored letters etc.

First type setting: some of my wood types don’t come in too many of them… so when I have to print certain letters many times in a phrase or sayings, I have to break it down so I can use the letter again. So here, I’m printing the 3 lines first. And sometimes, I have to flip letters upside down to print… there are sometimes lot of thinking involved to print, you have to be very flexible, I think.

Love the pink press… :)
The first 3 lines:

Now, setting types for the rest of the lines…

the letter “T” is used 6 times in this phrase, I still don’t have enough so here are 2 more lines, but not completed:

Print on top of the first round:

Setting the rest of the type:

the last T from “THAT”:

“THING” from “EVERYTHING”:

and finally printed!

Some close up of the nice texture it gave:





I hope Emily like it! Thank you so much, it was another fun printing!
OMG, I couldn’t believe when I saw what Tina has selected as a guest curator at etsy…
