letterpress

Browsing through many of my favorite blogs, I often hear a lot about letterpress. At first, I had no idea what letterpress was. Then, thanks to Elise, I came across a blog and actually saw what everyone was talking about and I realized that I did in fact know what letterpress was, I just didn't know that's what it was called. :)

I actually work right down the street from one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America, Hatch Show Print. Once I put two and two together, I got really excited. Maybe I could take a workshop or class or something to become more familiar with the letterpress. That would rock!

Anyway, I wanted to take a moment out of my day to share with you all this lovely blog, Heart Handmade, and Elise's contribution to it about her letterpress experience. I thought it was very informative and even inspirational. I can't wait to someday try my hand at letterpress. I may even buy a few blocks just for decoration around my apartment. How cute it'd be to have a few blocks spell out something atop one of my bookshelves.

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. And don't worry, pictures of my apartment will be here shortly. Just have to recharge my camera batteries and finish unpacking. :)
