One never really knows what to expect when placing items for sale. It seems that some products are overwhelmingly popular while others are, well, not.
We came up with this illustration a few years ago while making recipe cards and boxes for family members as a gift. Once we started getting inky with the letterpress, we decided to make a polymer plate of the “lovey oven” and press some recipe cards. Much to our surprise, this has become our most popular item to date!
We proudly adopted this press about a month ago. Sadly, it arrived broken in shipping! We’ve managed to repair the breaks but are still waiting on a chase to hold the letterpress type and images in place for pressing. We look forward to acquiring this last detail so that we can work both presses and create cards and images a little more consistently.
