Blind Printing Place cards

Today was the hottest day yet. Usually, I don't have to leave work and go out in the muggy streets much, but today I needed to get paper cut for place cards. I also took an order to Honey and Hazel. I was drudging around in 115 degree (heat index) heat with all this stuff. Luckily, it's a Summer Friday and I was out of work at 2. When I got home I took a little Seista while the AC cooled down my studio, but got to work after.

I've been listening to a lot of comics lately. So many funny Podcasts out there! WTF with Marc Maron is my favorite at the moment. It's interesting to hear famous TV folks in interviews. So many of them still doubt whether they are doing a great job or whether people like them. It makes me feel better honestly. I hate the fact that I crave other people's approval. I think it's human nature though. As a creative, it's very hard to make something, send it to your client and painstakingly waiting for a response.

I loved the Telegram invitations I recently did, but because I'm a perfectionist... I felt like there were a few flaws in them. It's one of the things I like and detest about my Letterpress creations. Because I work on a small press, it's limiting. It's also my favorite part about printing. Every piece has flaws that makes it interesting. Anyway, I was thrilled when they loved them and asked if I could make place cards for their wedding. I love printing things blind, without ink. This Savoy paper gives an awesome result. Now, I just have to score and fold each one. Sounds like a good job for Sunday when I'll be vending at Hell's kitchen.
