a pig, a word, a thank you, and a moving truck.
The other day, I made my first sale on Etsy. Woohoo! So, last night I was inspired to print up a few more letterpress greeting cards to add to my tiny, but growing, collection. I wanted to test some of the vintage blocks I had laying around. Some worked and some didn’t. The teddy bear I had hoped to print needed a little shaving on the edges. The turntables I printed up were just eh. I managed to put this little (big) piggy and an old moving truck to good use. I also printed up some vintage type blinds on the cool tags I bought weeks ago. I’ll be posting these items for sale on my Etsy shop (visualchemist.etsy.com) real soon. By the way, I finally fixed the header links up above. Now if only I can finish up my sites.
This vintage blue pig is actually part of a larger collection. Eventually, I hope to design twelve cards representing the entire Chinese zodiac lineup.
This card was inspired by good times and great friends. I have yet to verify this typeface and measure the height of this larger font.
Simple and sophisticated. No ink. Oooohh aaaahhhh, my favorite so far. This type was set using 36pt Stymie Light.
I bought this block because moving may be in our future. Someday.
I’ll be adding plenty more cards to my collection in the near future. Thanks for stopping by!
