also love these shopping list magnets that they make. so cool
That looks so wonderful! ***in awe***
Oh I just love letterpress. I started this year with a 3-day course at LCC – twas grand. Bought myself an Adana 8×5 a few months ago and itching to get cracking playing with it – just can’t find the space to set it up at the moment :( Such a wonderful craft to learn. I look forward to seeing some more of your poems in letterpress… ?
I can’t think of a more fitting context for your poetry honey. Just gorgeous. xxx
oh so jealous
Ooooh so do I!!! x
Ooooooh…I want to be there NOW.
beautiful shots, i wonder what that place smells like
These are great photos and I think there is such magic to this process. Love that you got one of your poems printed out. xo
your poem in letterpress?!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
your travels
are ALWAYS
the best kind.
love you!
The workshop looks fantastic and what great results. The shopping list – fun on the fridge, but not so practical to put in your bag or pocket and take to the supermarket with you!
