Plume Press

The work at Plume Press is absolutely outstanding. Love this aesthetic, lots of flourishes and ornamentation. The color combinations are quirky without being too weird. Beautiful work.

Urban Typography @ Athenaeum Press

I am so completely floored by this letterpress shop. The above images are details of the prints but I had to show them this way so you’d really understand how gorgeously rendered these are. Athenaeum Press produces limited-edition prints by Peder Singleton. The work up for sale now is part of his Urban Typography Project and feature a 3-color process for printing representations of old signage located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Gorgeous color combinations. I can barely get over it. I’ll most more soon. P.S. Nirali Magazine relaunches today. Apologies for neglecting this lately. You’ll see why when you see Nirali.

Clockwise from top left: The Egyptian, $125 (edition of 30). R, $75 (edition of 30). Classic Bowling, $125 (edition of 30). Utah Ice & Storage Co., $125 (edition of 30).

Dear Olive

Dear Olive letterpress studio has these gorgeous letterpress limited-edition prints of seashells. Each print is a reproduction of a 19th-century engraving, exquisitely rendered in letterpress. The level of detail is stunning. Love the range of color as well. Also check out their cards, many of which are based on illustrations from the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar.

Imperial Volute. Sand Dollar, Sea Urchin, Scallop Shell. Channeled Volute. Solarium. Each print is $45 unframed or $125 framed. Edition of 250.

New Cards @ Good on Paper!

Lisa from Good on Paper emailed me this morning to announce her new line of screened cards. The cards feature an adorable bird motif and are printed with vegetable inks on recycled paper. Great color combinations, as always. Lisa also has a new card called With You All the Way that she designed in the memory of her cousin Gary. 100% of the proceeds of this card benefit the American Cancer Society.

Clockwise from top left: Blue Bird Notecard, Feathers Notecard, Red Bird Notecard, Magnolia Notecard. All cards $4.25 each or $18 for a box of 8.

OrangeBeautiful

Beautiful typography and design at OrangeBeautiful. Also offered is custom bookbinding, examples of which are shown in the portfolio… lots of gorgeous custom books that appear to be scrapbooks and photo albums. Love the monogram above as well as the line of greeting cards that debuted at this year’s Stationery Show.
