Cat's Envelopes (sample round)
I'm doing the envelopes for lovely Cat & Dan's upcoming nuptials (in France!), so I sent them a few samples. This is the outer envelope with simple Copperplate, done on a diagonal. (Although it has no real relationship to the script, I love the Yosemite National Park commemorative stamp.)

Thank You Card: La Dolce Vita
This is a thank-you post card I made a few years ago on letterpress. It was actually pretty labor-intensive: whenever you want to change colors on the press, you have to clean the press, mix the new color (and by the way, pantone inks on the mixing palette look nothing like how they will eventually print--you have to pay close attention to ratios), re-ink the press, and re-register everything (this is also why when you get custom letterpress, the price increases exponentially from one- to two-color to three-color process). I have a stack of "dummy" versions of this card due solely to registration issues. Nevertheless, I love the work of letterpress and so enjoyed making this one. The backside is blank.

Moving Card
A very simple card I made ages ago on my old, uncleaned Remington typewriter (hence the gritty typeface). It reads "interlopers welcome" on a yellow A4 card and my new address was on the back.
