This year's holiday card is a silly one.
She's prettier when she's dirtier. When you get this beauty in the mail, hopefully it's earned some smudge from machines, crates, and dirty fingers. If you'd like to read this inkless filth more easily, rub her on a smooth floor and see what filth she picks up.
See? I'm not the only dirty one. Stay tuned for a Valentine's Day card in 2013. Just as dirty, but in pink.
Thanks to Jonathan Selikoff at Vote for Letterpress for encouraging me to do something so terrible and for pressing them so beautifully. And to Barbara Calzolari, my calligraphic mentor - her August 2012 Nib to Brush workshop changed everything.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Beautifully done! I wanted to send out a card that said BAH HUMBUG, but my hubby said No. Is this embossed? Hard to tell on web. Do you have them for sale somewhere? Happy Holidays!
Hi Hollis! Thanks for the kudos and glad to know you liked the card. This is a blind letterpress which is the same thing as embossing. We sold a couple handfulls and this was out first project together. Next year we'll do it again and we'll take orders. :) We're also doing a Valentine's Day card in Feb 2013. Stay tuned!
LOVE. Seriously.
