It gives me so much delight to see the fruits of one's labor.
I have grown fond of Letterpress printed paper creations delving into this current stationery realm. The aesthetic allure of seeing the transference from a hand drawn image to a digitally enhanced translation to a tactile pressed, published finished piece.
Happy New Year! to those I have not greeted yet. A long awaited update for work I
have not shown yet. Here is what I have been up to at Serimony and personal projects I've been working on. Enjoy and please let me know what you think :)
Still in progress....

October 2o11
An engaged bride visited the store one weekend with a special request, a wacky custom
Save the Date invitation with illustrations of Wind in the Willows characters, a Revolutionary War theme in a Boston harbor setting. What concluded were illustrations of their favorite animals, (and mine)...seals-Harbor seals.
The delightful couple decided to take elements and details from their Save the Date
and showcase the harbor seals illustration on their Wedding Luncheon invitation
in black and turquoise letterpress inks with a fun magenta polka dot envelope liner.
Please view more photos on the Lion in the Sun blog post:
An aspiring professional art enthusiast seeking to broaden her horizons
with personal and business promotional stationery visited the store with a unique antique
letterpress key. She commissioned a custom replication of the design to be converted as a vector logo.
With the recurring trend of creating a Save the Date invitation in a Vintage Postcard fashion,
here are some modern-turned-timeless Save the Date postcards inspired by authentic vintage postcards and personal photographs significant of the couple-to-be's wedding and venue.
Creating a vintage sepia tone effect and some Photoshopping on an authentic elegantly composed photograph of the dapper grandparents of the couple showcased as their Save the Date Postcard
Taking elements from an original vintage Postcard to emulate the feel
of a timeless memento, the use of a vintage handwritten script font
evokes the whole tone of the Save the Date Postcard.

Here are the printed postcards

A second vintage photo Save the Date postcard style with rounded corners to be enclosed in an envelope.
Who would have thought this European villa style estate is a country club nestled right here as a U.S. gem in Princeton, New Jersey, TPC Jasna Polana. With a beautiful photo to start with, didn't want to tone down the rich color of the blue emitting off the rooftops by adding a light sepia distressed look to a quaint Postcard size Save the Date.

The previous postcard inspired another couple to showcase their personal photos of their wedding venue

Re-envisioned and designed a whimsical spin on a woodland creature delight featuring fanciful adornments of floral wreathe-like flourishes to frame your declaration of marriage. Originally designed by Foxy and Winston, I added and designed a whimsical spin on our woodland creature delight for The Ramble wedding invitation suite. Drawing inspiration from nature, many forms and colors lend to the details of this design. The curvature of stems and fractal patterns found in branches and flowers help frame your personal message and declaration of marriage to your loved ones.
