Happy Birthday Card - Experimentation

I'm in the process of developing my own greeting card range. I'm using blind embossing and letterpress for my designs. I just love the look and feel of blind embossed images. Heres an example of a prototype with more designs coming soon.

William Morris Inspired Artwork

William Morris was a fabulous designer and artist. I get a lot of my inspiration from his floral designs.
I have recently put up for sale some of my prints, which are floral like some of his designs. I have used pencil and water colours like Morris used to aswell. Please feel free to have a look at them on folksy and big cartel.

Some of my favorite William Morris Pieces.

Love it!

Letterpress Printing


Just lately I have become very interested in letterpress printing. I love the idea of letterpress artwork and I'm very interested in creating my own designs using this method.
I have come across some brilliant designs, here are some of my favorite examples 















Letterpress baby announcement designed and printed 
by Jessica Hische. Amazing hand drawn type.















Self-promotional design. The coasters were letterpress printed on 60 point Pulp Board stock. 
See the rest of the designs on Cranky Pressman’s blog.















Beautifully designed letterpress business cards again by Jessica Hische.
 Printed in 2 colors, and the paper finished with edge painting. Stunning!!
