Thanks!

Posted on July 17, 2009 by Hijiri

I printed this “Thanks!” card a while ago to include with my orders and I just want to take my time here to thank everyone who’s been a great support and a great customer — I have sold more than 1000 items at my esty shop now! Thank you so much!

Type setting wood types:

I love the light blue on chipboads!! These cards are all gone now, though, I wanted to archive them here.

I will be printing new ones to include with my orders soon… My Hello cards are all gone now, too, so…

Thank you again so much!
Have a great weekend!!

New: Cucina Mini Letterpress Print

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Hijiri

Do you have art in your kitchen? I have a few and I have been wanted to print something just for the kitchen because having an art in the kitchen makes it fun and special. So why not something that says “kitchen”… so here it goes, my new mini “Cucina” letterpress print (cucina = kitchen). I hope you like it :)

The first color yellow — I had this printed for a while, I was just waiting for the right time to print the 2nd color.

Setting up the plate and the base.

Testing the impression and the placement — adjust whatever it needs to be adjusted here. (I also love the blind impression!)

Staring at the Sun Print

Posted on July 9, 2009July 9, 2009 by Hijiri

I came across these prints by More. an artist workspace and I thought they were awesome! (and unfortunately, it is sold out… sigh…)

It is letterpressed (the yellow) on top of the digital prints — I just love the spontaneous yellow graphics on the black and white digital prints! How fun. Inspires me to work on my next prints…
