I found this fern growing in a nice shaded corner of my father-in-law’s garden. Under a water oak and tucked alongside a small pond, this fern seemed to glow in the light of the setting sun. Several photographs and sketches later, our fern frond design was born.

To create these coasters we converted the original illustration into printing plates. Next, we hand mixed a vegetative green ink. Finally, we printed each coasters one-by-one on our hand-fed, 100 year old, Chandler & Price printing press.

The result is a lovely spot to rest your pink lemonade or mint tea.

This set makes a perfect hostess gift, housewarming present or gift for anyone that loves plants.

Never fear! The ink will not run when they get wet!

Our good friend Russell Carnes of Earth Sky Builders asked us for a new logo and business cards that reflected his love of wood and craftsmanship. After a healthy amount of design exploration, we arrived at a logo that incorporates hand tools Russ uses to craft fine wood joinery.

As the logo took shape, we explored different paper options. The idea of trying to print on wood came up and we gave it a try. Russ brought us a bunch of different veneer scraps and we were able to use those to make him some special extras. Veneer doesn’t take an impression like paper. It also has a tendency to curl. Despite the printing challenges, we are very happy with the results. We love the way his logo pairs with the wood background.

Red Birds Folded Cards

Red Birds Stationery

Oh red birds! Here at our studio in Atlanta, Georgia we am lucky to have a pair of cardinals who fly around my windows and hunt for treats. So lovely to watch.

This set of cards was inspired by my childhood snow days in Charlottesville, Va. We had a lot of birds visit our house in the woods but I had favorite red bird who would come sit on my windowsill. I loved waking up in the morning to find the world all glittery and white. The contrast of red birds against bright white snow was so much like a fairy tale. When the school bus could not make it down our road my brother, sister and I would gather up sleds and head out for a day of trial and error sledding… can we make it down that hill… over that log… can we get going so fast that we jump the creek? Then we would come home to a warm wood stove, cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.

We printed each card twice on our 100 year old Chandler & Price letterpress. The first printing was to create the delicate blue branches. The second added the sweet little red birds. Set of 6 folded cards & envelopes.
