Jane Austen is my favorite author!

I didn't print Katie's wedding programs because she told me that she wanted green ink and was pretty flexible but I wanted to try to match the green on her invites. Today she gave me a sample of her wedding stationery and I'll try to duplicate the color.

In the meantime, I was itching to print something. A while ago, I designed some Jane Austen folded note cards and had magnesium plates made. I love Austen, and I especially love Pride and Prejudice, which reread every year. There are only two known images of Austen and the silhouette is only "probably" her, but I think the best subject for letterpress. I also found a really cool Jane Austen font online, which I used to quote her:

Latest project

My friend, Katie, is getting married in July and she saw this accordion fold wedding program in Martha Stewart Weddings.


We worked together and came up with a design utilizing her theme which is a tandem bicycle. I had already ordered the magnesium plate, and I was hoping to print this weekend but the weather was so great that my husband and I ended up planting our summer garden instead! More on Katie's program in the days to come . . .
