Last week I headed into the San Francisco Center for the Book to do some letterpressing. A friend of mine had found this great chicken letterpress image and asked me to print it. The form printed wonderfully and I was so enthused, I made a day of printing, making not only chicken cards, but also some beef cards and gift tags from the scraps.
I tried to make the perfect 'chicken orange' but I just ended up with regular orange. Oh well.
Chicken form, ready for printing
The cards got yellow and red envelopes.
I packaged the cards for my friend, using an old magazine page as the wrap.
Beef cards in the same style
Inked press, ready to print some gift tags
I made 5 different gift tags with various font colors, besides the 'hi friend' ones, I made tags that said 'awesome', 'hey there', 'love you', and 'why hello'.
I wrapped the cards, envelopes, and some gift tags for my friend in old encyclopedia pages and tied them with fancy kitchen twine.
Like the gift tags...i'd like to keep it in mind and will use if i ever need for Gift Card envelopes...thanks you share it.
