Posted on by Hijiri

Whew. I’m so happy to announce that the Holiday Alphabet Greeting Cards are available now at my etsy shop! I have been printing these here and there for a while and finally finished all 6 different cards, I’m so excited! I know holidays are still a little bit ahead of us, but trust me, it will sneak up on you and next thing you know, you’ll be shopping for last minute… (like me, every year) so please shop accordingly :) These are limited in quantities, too.

I took so many pictures while I was printing each card as usual and here are some glimpse of it. It took a while, but I printed them with all my love, I hope these bring everyone a nice and warm holiday season…

Custom Print: Here Take My Sweater

Posted on by Hijiri

Lindsay from Lindsay Wilson Photography wanted a custom print that means a lot to her and her husband for their paper anniversary as a part of her gifts to him. ((I printed a special print for our second anniversary as a “cotton” gift — because I always work with cotton paper — it can go either way!!)) I always get so happy and honored to be able to create a special print that means so much to someone. This print was no exception. I had so much fun printing and I was so happy to print this for them!

Adjusting placement and impression with my printout — always helps…

I love the blind printed impression, so pretty always.

So turned out that I didn’t have enough letter “E” so decided to print without the first word… Typesetting, inking and…

printing the three words first.

Now, typeset the word “HERE” to where it’s supposed to, take out the words that were printed and lock them with furniture.

Print on top of the first print…

Floss

Posted on by Hijiri

I made some custom mini print for myself yesterday… “FLOSS”! I know, it’s little random, but I always forget flossing my teeth, which I am supposed to everyday, and our bathroom needed (well, I wanted) one more art on the wall so why not remind myself to floss everyday while I’m in the bathroom!

I picked this pretty blue to match our toothbrush holder / soap holder…

Wood type setting:

floss1

I printed 12 or so… (it just doesn’t make sense to print one…)

floss2

It is 5×7, fits in the 5×7 standard frame perfectly and it looks great in our bathroom!

floss3

floss4

floss5

Now I have no excuse. I am going to floss everyday.

The rest of the 11 prints are available at my shop… :) — ALL SOLD OUT now, thank you so much!!!
