White on White

We have recently done a couple of wedding invites that are white printed on white, or otherwise referred to as blind embossing. These invites are very subtle and in all 3 cases the bridal couples have gone for envelopes which are different to the paper in order to add a bit of embellishment. For example either a brown Manila envelope or a handmade fabric envelope.

Our first Exhibition

We are delighted to be taking part in our first exhibition, to be held in Joburg this month. We were approached by Vanessa Klevansky, the creative director of Promise Brand Specialists (and ex Fine Art student).

Vanessa has gathered a total of 13 artists for the show. They include illustrators, printers and painters whose work captures life with joy and humour! Exhibitors include Amelia from Whimsy, Alta Stegmann, Stephanie van Vuuren (and Norman Nanimal), Leigh from Loveburd, Tian van den Heever and Juniper.

All of our limited edition artworks will be on show, including: "Hello", "The Alphabetter pair", "Who's in Charge?", "Come back to me" and "Rambucktious".

Please pop in if you are in the area.

Numerology

Yesterday I printed some table numbers for a client whose wedding invitations we printed a few months ago. I thought they looked pretty cool all lying on the table together.

Merry Christmas!

Somehow before we knew it December was upon us..... so we have launched a very late Christmas card. It is hand drawn and printed in 2 colours ink. Registration on this one was quite a job, but I got it right in the end...
Blink will be supplying these in Cape Town as from the end of this week, and they will be available from me at my stand at the Designer-Maker Artisan Market from the 14th - 16th December in Cape Town.

We will be selling our Christmas tags, Partridge in a Pear tree notecard and our other non-Christmasy notecards, artworks etc. there as well.

Type posters

My sister, Jackie recently acquired a whole printers tray full of gorgeous old wooden type, which we borrowed for a couple of weeks to make some posters for our house and one for Jack to say thanks.

We've been working with some very exiting couples and clients. To showcase what we've been up to we've updated some pictures on our website.

Kamersvol Geskenke

We have just spent the last week in Somerset West at Kamersvol Geskenke. It was so wonderful for us to meet some of our clients and to get feedback first hand on our products! There was a great energy and it was great for us to be able to showcase all of our products together.
