SFCB Holiday Fair
The San Francisco Center for the Book Holiday Fair is coming up on December 10th. This will be my first time selling at a craft fair. I learned to print at SFCB so I’m happy to come full circle to sell there this year. Come check it out Noon - 5pm!
Some of the items I’ll have are my past holiday cards as well as some of the other masking tape cards I’ve been making this past year.
2009 Holiday Card, Print Gocco
2010 Holiday Card, Letterpress, First project printed on my press
Letterpress gift tags
Soon I’ll be posting images of the two cards I’m making this year. Because Christmas provides lots of reasons for present wrapping, tree trimming, and hall decking I’ll be posting here more often in December. Hope it keeps you inspired. Happy Holiday 2011!
