Letterpress at the CENTER OF THE BOOK S.F.
I know I haven't been writing for a while but spring there are all these events happening that keeps us busy busy busy.
Last Sunday I took a letterpress class at the center of the book in San Francisco. We printed on tabletop platen presses. I really like these small presses because they are completely manual and you can print only limited editions. They do have their limitations thought but results are very good. Although I had taken letterpress classes before, I was completely taken with the typesetting. I found it so relaxing. I can't wait for my next class.

Rough Cookie (Handmade Book by Mel Kadel) These days I have been busy busy busy working on the illustrations for my book, but I could not resist posting about this handmade book Rough Cookie by Mel Kadel. The illustrations are beautiful. Limited edition of just 100 and the cover is silkscreened. The book by its cover website is a great place to discover little treasures like this one. You can find this book here.

Japanese books PETIT PATTERNI really like the petit pattern book series. These book/disc combinations each feature 140 patterns and they are good reference books. You can find them in Amazon. My favorite ones are Scandinavian style and Simple & Natural.

When I visited book by its cover blog by Julia Rothman, I was stunned by the unique collection of books that she recommended. I particularly liked the book PRINCE SILENCIO by Anne Herbauts. I found her illustrations fascinating and the story is great.

The summer in Crete is absolutely beautiful. The smells, the sounds, the colors, you get inspiration from everywhere around you. So here I am working on some invitations for Natalia's baptism. The theme is "fairies" since Zouzou likes them so much. I have done two types of invitations. Flat ones for the adults and the "crown" for the children.
