My baby is print ready for the first time in over

My baby is print ready for the first time in over a year. It’s also the first time I’ve been able to be in the studio alone for more than five minutes without breaking down, or having to hurry up and leave. And I may yet still (read: definitely will) have a good cry at some point today as I’m finishing up getting things ready for the Gentleman Printer’s memorial tomorrow, but it feels good to be in the space. I’m remembering the feel of getting ink on paper, some inspiration is rekindling. There’s still some work to do, some equipment to fix and things to tune, but I’m ready for this space to wake up from its long slumber.

Wading back into the custom projects world with a very special project for a beloved friend’s family and thought I’d practice my reels skills while taking inventory of envelope and enclosure packaging options. #bespoke #stationery #invitations

New print!

We’ve sadly sold out of the large format letterpress version of this Cicero quote that we made in collaboration with @mmvk.

So here’s an 8x10 illustrated and hand lettered version.

Available for the first time this weekend - Saturday at the Cambridge-Somerville Asian Festival at Starlight Square from 12:30-3pm.

Sunday at 5th Annual Inman Eats & Crafts in the Pickle Robot Lot from 12-4pm.

They’ll be available at the tiny shop @tinyturnspaperie (in store and online) next week.

Day 3 of #the100dayproject – Another thing I haven

Day 3 of #the100dayproject - Another thing I haven’t done in years is brush lettering with an actual brush and paint. (I’ve been using my iPad more, or occasionally a brush tipped marker) This was done with a number 4 brush and watered down acrylic craft paint.🖌🎨

Forgot to post day 2 of painting for #the100daypro

Forgot to post day 2 of painting for #the100dayproject yesterday because of teaching - so here it is a day late. It’s been a long time since I’ve played with watercolor so this was 100% experimentation. Background is painted, lettering was done with a twintone marker. This might be a good first draft of something that might make a nice card or print? 🖌🎨
