An amazing photographer out of Montreal, Irene Suchocki creates “little poems for the eyes.” Her photographs have such a beautiful atmosphere, she can turn the simplest flower into an amazing thing. She’s been featured in all kinds of publications, yet her work is still reasonably priced — check it out here.
Congratulations, Irene on being the Featured Seller on Etsy today! You can read her interview here.
I know it’s only September, but I’ve got my first round of holiday greeting cards finished! To celebrate being ahead of the game, I’m offering 10% off all orders placed through email before October 1st. Standard pricing is available here (cards range from $2 to $3 each with shipping another $3-$10 depending on where you live), or just email me for pricing on the quantities you want (I’m happy to split card sets for you). Enjoy!
Cherie Lester is a collage artist and photographer working out of Washington, D.C. I’m just infatuated with her “Magnolia Leaves” photo — the colors are gorgeous and the forms are so beautiful you could get lost in them. Plus she manages to capture amazing detail and the atmosphere of this tiny environment.
Yesterday, I drove to Racine to purchase some letterpress paraphernalia I found (once again) on craigslist. Tom had a TON of stuff, all in really great condition, and I got two drawers of lead type, an assortment of large wood type (that I cannot wait to try out) and several vintage cuts (technical term for blocks with images on them). I can’t wait to get printing!
I also got a ton of printing done this weekend. I finished up all four holiday card runs that I had started (more to come on that later this week) and completed two custom orders, below. On the left, Save the Dates that the bride, a graphic designer, designed herself, which are probably the best technically correct printing I’ve put out to date–they’re lovely. And then on the right are some earring cards for Ashley Akers Jewelry.
Another Madisonian (who recently moved to MN — we won’t hold it against her) whose work I cannot get enough of is Marnie of Crafterall. I have admired her cut paper “Topo” pieces for quite some time and they just keep getting better and better. I love the way the paper seems fluid and her color selection is impeccable.
