Letterpress Love

Lesley Taylor |

Letterpress has come along way since Gutenberg invented it in the mid-15th century. Since then it has gone from the only game in town to being the darling of the slow print movement. Letterpress takes time and skill, which in the digital age is pretty unrealistic as a form of production.

Gingiber

Lesley Taylor |

Stacie Bloomfield, a self professed childhood doodler, turned her passion into a business when she launched Gingiber in 2009. Her style is a little modern, a little country, and a lot of adorable.
