Posted on December 16, 2009 by Hijiri

Just wanted to let you know that I have printed Live What You Love 8th edition and they are all available at my etsy shop now. It is a little bit smaller edition since I only had 1 day, but some new colors to enjoy :) Hope you like them.

This color is new… I call it “cerulean blue” — I love how it came out!

Red is a bit darker and richer this time and light grey is really warm this time. I printed green first time in a long time (since the first edition)!

Inspired by my “thank you for shopping” cards I printed before (they are all gone…!) I printed “SMILE” mini prints for everyone in the world to share. It is absolutely one of my favorite words and just having the word around is actually really nice and makes me smile every time I see it :) so here it is… smile :)

On Vandercook Press:

New: Holiday Kraft Paper Bags

Posted on November 23, 2009November 22, 2009 by Hijiri

Good morning! Hope you had a nice weekend… oh my god, New York City is already filled with holiday stuff, it’s crazy! And thanksgiving is already right here this week… eek soo fast!

Just wanted to let you know that I listed some more letterpress goodies to my etsy shop… yes, it’s for the holidays! :)

If you are planning to gift some papergoods, books, magazines, prints etc. to your loved ones this holiday, I printed something perfect and easy — paper bags to do the wrapping!

Yes, I used wood types to make it really special :)

Type setting — started with same spacing. I LOVE white on kraft paper so I used white ink.
