Meet the Press!
This is my Heidelberg t Platen, weighing in at just over 1100kgs, she is the centre piece in the studio, and so amazing to watch in action, a real antique and the serial number tells me it was made in 1948. It constantly teaches me something new and I am more confident running it now than ever before. I love this machine and just like an old car, it has it's quirks but it was really was made to last - a real work horse.
New designs for seeded gift cards
Grow a tree by planting this card!
This card can be planted. It is printed on 100% recycled paper containing Lemon Scented Bottlebrush seeds.
Planting instructions: Soak card in water until soft. Place card on seed raising mix (in pot or ground). Lightly cover with more mix, water and keep moist. Germination should take 7 - 21 days.
I planted one in my garden today!

Samples anyone.
I love books!
I have always loved books and could spend hours just looking at covers and flicking through the pages, I have done a lot of book design over the years and only now discovered the art of making them. Here is a sneaky peak of the finished book I made over the weekend. I took one of my favourite cards that I make and stuck it on the front with a raised surface.

Book binding at the CAE
Being a creative person I find myself in a constant pursuit of creativity. This weekend I spent most of my time making a hardcover book at the CAE - Geraldine was amazing and I love my little book.
The final product needs to sit in a book press (or pile of books!) for 24 hours and I will post some photos of it very soon. It's a bit less than perfect but I will keep it forever as a reminder of my first attempt.
And in saying this, that implies that there will be more...oh there will be more..stay tuned!
