My personalised stationery from Roderick of Fogday Press arrived today! After weeks of my checking the mailbox like a fiend. More pictures to come.
The thing about letterpress is that you have to feel it. This photo cannot show the tactile beauty of the envelops— the embossed letters, the thick, soft paper and the subtle grey ink. Plus, it’s great fun to fun your fingers over the tiny indentations.
