the end is the new beginning

 

 

The letterpress class has now come to an end, I really wish it can keep going!

3 hours per week is not enough, I want to learn so much more and the time just goes by so fast...

It was a really neat experience to do these projects, our last one is business cards and I took this opportunity to get our Three26 card started, here is the finish look of the letterpress business cards :)

 

 

Before the end of 2012 I'll try to get together with the classsmates and practice with the machines and letters, I can probably start on something new and fun along the way, who knows?

Popcorn stationery

 

 

Another update on letterpress!

Yesterday I finished making my stationery set, it was Arashi Popcorn themed, with the notecards and envelopes.  They came out really nice, especially on the envelopes the shirts are adorable.

 

Next week we will be done with the business cards, I think they are looking good so far, sadly it's gonna be our last class :( 

 



Letterpress printing 2

Last week in the letterpress class, we started setting up our types.  I realized that I can spend hours in this process and still find it interesting :)  Although it can be frustrating sometimes when the size isn't right, but I like how there's multiple ways of doing things, and especially when you have total control over this project, you can enjoy it a lot more, I think.  

Tomorrow I will try to get to class earlier and start printing, oh! and I can't wait to see my first plate!

Letterpress printing 1

 

I took my first letterpress class 2 days ago, the instructor was the talented Madeleine Zygarewicz, owner of Panorama Press.  I met her first time earlier this year at Unique LA and I really loved her work, I finally had the chance and time to register her class, now I'm really excited about the projects we'll be doing :)
