I’m still semi-concious from a whirlwind of Christmas fun, but wanted to post a quick shot of some notecards I printed last week. The stock is a deckled edge Fabriano. Deckled edges are sometimes tricky to register, since each sheet is a slightly different shape, but I find this Fabriano pretty easy to work with. [...]

Yesterday I shipped off my final job of 2008, this New Year’s greeting for Brooklyn’s own Reich Paper, commemorating their 50th year in business. I printed it on Reich’s SHINE paper (Cosmo).

There needs to be a new word in the English language to describe that feeling of dread – knowing you’re falling behind on your blog. Everyone I know who has one agrees, blogging seems to be first thing that gets pushed aside when times get too busy. I’m going to make another resolution for 2009 [...]
my weekend treasures

Like most people, I’ve been trying to be careful with my spending this Christmas. I’m not so much cutting out gifts as being more conscious of where I’m spending my money. So this weekend I was excited to make some special purchases from vendors I LOVE. Here’s my loot:
Beautiful locket earrings from Bonbon Oiseau.
Really cool [...]

Thanks so much to everyone who visited the Gifted market yesterday! What an amazing crowd. After all the dire economic forecasts lately it was so nice to see people out supporting artists and designers in their own community. I can’t say thank you enough!
These custom cards I printed on Thursday and Friday made my desk [...]

I love the simplicity of this custom card I made for a client last week. New year is always a good time to start over, to try to do things a little better and enjoy life a little more. Even in the midst of all the uncertainly recently I find I am filled with hope [...]
