Let it swim
I printed more Live What You Love letterpress prints… 10th edition that is! Just in time for the holidays :) There are a few 9th edition left, but all the classic colors had been out of stock for months so I printed familiar colors + 1 new color… in sweet pink! Love this color, so cute <3
Photos from the studio…
and here they are…
All available at my etsy shop!
Lindsay from Lindsay Wilson Photography had another great project for me (did you see the previous post?) to help her create custom prints with couple of quotes by Charles Bukowski. They came out so nicely, I wanted to share!
Since it was 5×7 prints, I used smaller wood type blocks. With my computer printouts, pick up all the letters and try to form sentences…
All the letters picked, spelling double-checked…
Start locking the letters. Takes a long time…
Adjusting impressions and placements… I’m printing both quotes in one paper here.
After everything is set, ink the press and print…
For his name, I ordered a polymer plate. Setting up the plate on the base, ready to print his name separately.
and here are the final products!
Yes, perfectly imperfect, I just can’t get enough of the wood type loveliness… Lindsay and her husband told me the nicest things, made me happy so much! Thank you for another fun and wonderful project!
These letter candles from Bee and Bird Candles are so cute and colorful, making me so happy! I think this is created from wood type blocks, what a cool idea!
Comes in lots of different colors…
Comes in letter L-O-V-E, too — cute idea for wedding center piece, don’t you think?
and you can pick your own, too, to create your custom word — so fun! I’m thinking lots of possible words, I don’t know what to get! What would you get?! :)

I’m so excited that I just acquired new (old) wood types! They are 20 line Gothic Extra Condensed. I can’t wait to print something new with these!
I hope you all had a nice weekend!
