On June 18th, we enjoyed attending the exhibition reception at the Irvine Fine Arts Center for Rock, Paper, Scissors: Printmaking & Book Arts Exhibition. We are ashamed to admit that we had not yet been to this facility and we were quite impressed! We were amazed at the quality of handmade books, lithography, letterpress, photo processes and more. It’s always fun to see what others are doing and we left feeling thoroughly inspired to create some unique images ourselves. We wish to congratulate our friend, Rachelle Chuang, winner of the Juror’s award for her handmade book art! Also, friend Gina Pirtle did an excellent job designing and letterpress printing the posters for the event.
If you haven’t been, there’s still time to see this amazing exhibit. It continues until July 31rst, so drop on by and check it out! You won’t be disappointed.
Though it’s been a while since we’ve blogged, we have been remaining quite busy! In early spring, we worked hard printing cards, gift tags and coasters for the Unique LA Independent Design and Gift Show. This was our first time vending at this amazing show in late April. We were extremely impressed with the venue and the quality of items sold by other vendors. The response to our products was rewarding and we want to thank everyone who visited us. We debuted four new card designs and are thrilled to report that all were received well. In fact, our top selling card was the “Best Husband” card that had not yet been released until the Unique LA show. We look forward to attending the holiday Unique LA show later this year on December 11th and 12th.
Summer is here! Don’t forget the party coasters for your summer shin-dig. These coasters are irreverent and always popular!
Graduation is near! Celebrate your new grad with a “Gold Star” card.
