Wonderful, New & Sweet

We had the honour of creating this baby shower invite for good friends of ours!

The general idea based around trees and nature and the colour scheme was set out by the mommy-to-be…then she let us run with it! We had a great time with these! Thanks Jenny and Juan!

Designed, illustrated, & printed in house on hand cut, hand scored A2 Reich Savoy Bright White 118lb Cotton Paper cards with an A2 Savoy Bright White Cotton Envelope.

Seattle’s SVC Wayzgoose 2012

An event we’ve been waiting for  since we attended last years SVC wayzgoose! This is one great time!

The Wayzgoose was hosted this past Saturday by Seattle’s School of Visual Concepts and located a few steps from the famed Space Needle.

  

It features a Steamroller Smackdown, Marketplace, Demos and an Equipment Swap.

To Start…We hit up the Equipment Swap first to pick up some “tools of the trade”.

And on to the SMACKDOWN!!!

  

  

At the end of the day, KeeganMeegan & Co, and this incredible cut, came out Smackdown CHAMPIONS!

Every print of the day was hung from each of SVC’s 4 stories. A silent auction was held for each print.

  

Everyone had the opportunity to print their own keepsake on one of SVC’s Vandercooks. Catherine took a swing at this one – Nice job!

  

We finished the day off with a hotdog from Dante’s Inferno Dogs and an Meyer Lemon Ice Cream from Parfait’s Delivery Truck – Awesome!

This event is a MUST for any Letterpress Printer or Enthusiast in the area. Can’t wait for next year!

Our Facebook page will be updated with more photos in the coming days! – Check it out! Like us!…if you haven’t yet:)
