INTRODUCING

 
 

THE STORY

 

Last July, I had a completely different phrase letterpress printed with the intention that it would be the first product. In late January, nearly a year into this global pandemic, I realized I needed and wanted to share a different message. This is hard. There is no "right way to be" (now, or ever!). You're doing ok.

 

 

THE PROCESS

 

A letterpress print was the first product of Make29, my original take on this venture! Over the past six years, I have been working with a local letterpress shop to create fun prints. I was able to go in last month to set this in wood type & pick an ink color that brings me such joy.

 
 
 

And, to my friends in Texas being hit with a winter storm and infrastructure collapse: I know you are not "doing okay” right now and I am so sorry. I am sure you've seen it but here is a frequently updated resource for how to help and get help. We are rooting for you.
