Yosemite National Park

We are super excited to have just completed our two color map of Yosemite National Park.  Yosemite is a place that has a lot of meaning for us, and that we try to go to as often as possible.  Chip spent a lot of time in the valley big wall climbing, and now we hope to bring our little one there every year to experience its sublime beauty.  Here are some images of the map and of our memories in Yosemite.

The Sierra Valley

This immense valley lies just north of Truckee.  We went here on a bridwatching mini-expedition and were amazed by what we found.

The Gold Standard

It seems like gold foil is all the rage these days.  There are so many beautiful stationary products incorporating gold right now, and it reminded us of our very first press that we purchased-the Kingsley foil stamping machine!  We had to dig in some crates to find it for the photos, and it was a little questionable to use-the cord was one of those old ones made of cloth, and fraying.  But is certainly inspired us!

We are unable to attend a couple of weddings this year but fortunately found these lovely cards from fellow letterpressers One Canoe Two!
