Good Life Print

Hijiri — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 18:46:43 +0000

Yesterday, one of my Live What You Love prints was featured in “The Experts Agree” with bunch of other awesome prints (thank you so much!) — I liked all the prints and especially, this Good Life print caught my eye, it’s all made with linoleum and letterpress printed!

Love the typography, too! I can hang this in my kitchen… :)

Anne emailed saying their home tour is featured at apartment therapy today and one of my Live What You Love yellow prints is beautifully displayed in their bedroom!! I love the frame, ceramic collection around the art and the pretty dresser — very well done, Anne & Jake! Makes me so happy to see my art has been loved by such great people… :)

Please see the entire Anne & Jake’s Bright Colorful Midwestern Home tour here!

Thank You So Much, NSS!

The National Stationery show has ended yesterday — what an experience! I am still taking it all in, my body feels like it needs a little more rest, but most of all, I am very inspired and feeling great!! I met so many talented lovely people at the show, that itself was well worth the sleepless weeks.

I will be back with more pictures and thoughts on Monday.

In the meantime, there are great coverages of the show online already, please check these out to see how great everything was!

Oh So Beautiful Paper (see our booth feature here! — Thank you so much!!)

Poppytalk (see our booth feature here! — Thank you so much, 1canoe2! Lovely to meet you.)

Thank you so much, NSS! And especially, all of our Ladies of Letterpress exhibitors and their friends and families — THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful show!! Couldn’t have done it without you <3

Stationery Trends Magazine

The count down to the National Stationery Show started! I’m getting butterflies… as a first time exhibitor, I’m willing to make mistakes and learn from them. Set up starts this Thursday… I still have few things before the show, wish me luck!

Prior to the show, Heartfish Press received a great mention on Stationery Trends Magazine in the Spring 2011 issue — The NSS Issue! I’ll be sharing a big booth with 10 other Ladies of Letterpress gals so it’s with the LoL:

My Live What You Love special edition letterpress print has been featured in Everything Is Going to Be OK from Chronicle Books… not just inside, but also in the back cover!

Page 81:

This book, as you can see from its title, it makes you feel good, confident, believe that everything is going to be OK :) It’s filled with lots of hope and optimism in a great art form from all over the world, just flipping through this book is an inspiration! Here are some sneak peeks… Enjoy!

Thank you so much for including my work, truly honored!!

Meet my Kelsey Press

I don’t think I’ve ever introduced my Kelsey Excelsior Tabletop Press… well, here she is! She has been restored and modified, she does a great job.

I recently printed Heartfish Press logo on the back of the cards and so took some photos :)

Hope you enjoyed meeting this little press! :) Happy Friday & weekend!!

Meet (almost) My New-Old Press

Hijiri — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:00:31 +0000

Here she is! The Golding Pearl Old Style No.3, that is! She has been in the process of being restored at the Arm and almost ready to come home to my studio. When I visited the Arm, I got to meet her and she was so beautiful, I can’t wait to print with her!

The room was a bit dark so the photos didn’t come out well, but this is the Golding Pearl Old Style Press No.3:

with the heart-shaped treadle!!

The flywheel is gorgeous, too.

I was so excited that I had to share! :)

I have to rearrange my studio space a bit so I can welcome her soon… can’t wait!!

Please think of me and my shop this Holiday season :) xo Hijiri
