// Sneak Peek: Test print

[please excuse the bad iPhone photo!]
Stayed up late last night listening to records, drinking good wine and printing with my little Gocco. My own little version of heaven.

Just a little project I'm working on... more soon!

// Close to My Heart

Back when I was in school, I was fortunate enough to visit the home & studio of a renowned typographer/printer/letterpress-wizard. Not only was he a printer, but he actually created movable lead type as well. Deep in his basement, among the ancient printers, hot lead bubbled, ready to be turned into beautiful lead type. I treasure the pieces of type that I was given from this visit, and had always thought about turning them into a necklace.

Yesterday, I stumbled onto Erica Weiner's website, and see that she's one step ahead of me! Her salvaged type is available in any letter combination of your choice and are dipped in silver & gold -- I think they're beautiful :)

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Getting up to anything fun?
