• our new business - LittleOwl Letterpress



Our newest business endeavor we have decided to tackle is letterpress! What is it you ask? Think Johannes Gutenberg, yes the inventor of the 1440's printing press, but a bit updated! He's not really a cute guy, but quite the inventor huh?! Letterpress is one of the oldest forms of printing around -- very vintage!




We have a 1950's German press called a Heidelberg Windmill that we use to letterpress stationery, wedding invitations, business cards, etc.! Gina and I run our business out of our backyard studio (conveniently located at Gina's house).



Here's your homework:
• Check out our website
• Look for us on etsy
• Follow us on twitter and/or facebook

Here's a few of my fave pics!


Before the cropping begins!




A blind impression piece that is actually a "mess-up". We ran this piece of paper twice to line things up correctly. Sometimes the mistake pieces are my favorites!
