TO GAVIN AND THE REST OF YOU

This is who we've used to get die cuts.
(Also linked to the side under Resources) ------------->


They were cheap, but the issue was that it we basically did all our communication by email. So it was kind of hard to explain/ask advice for the best way to make a sort of complicated die, and in the end, we got something that wouldn't work for the project and now we haven't used the dies. :( But the guy is really nice. (Dave?) I'd just suggest going up there if your die is any kind of complicated. Otherwise, just email your vector file to the email listed at the bottom of their site.

(Anyone wanna redesign their logo please?)


Ooo, pretty colors

I am hypnotized...

100 year anniversary of the Vandercook.


This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the Vandercook printing press. Vandercook presses are sometimes called the “Cadillacs” of letterpress. These are beautiful, lumbering machines, and are highly sought after. They haven’t been manufactured in decades, and there are only about 2,000 that remain in operating condition.
