Fiona and I have been tossing around ideas about cards we could print for the Christmas period. We want them to be a bit different. I started with this card - it can apply to Christmas but can be used for other celebrations.
The card was printed using very old wood type - love the honesty of the nicks (see h and !) and scratches
I have been asked to make a few more pairs of silver-plated leaf earrings so that folk can buy them for Christmas gifts. The request included that I make shorter drops this time - the longest is about 4cm. I got them done now incase people want to send them overseas. The metal was cut from good quality silver-plated drink coasters - silver over brass.
The wee ones below are a bit asymmetrical - but then again so are tiny leaves. The thinner leaf drops are about .5-.7cm across and the longest drop is about 2.5cm. The other set are shorter - shorter leaf is about 1.5cm long.
Having creative fun in both the letterpress studio and the metal workshop.
Love the cards, one of my favorite expressions! Still wear my leaf earrings . Raining here,and has got cold. Being a nice lazy day.
