10 point bodoni

i wish the wayzgoose event was every month.

it was a blast.

i was so happy to drag my parents along.
all three of us were drooling over everything we saw.
{letterpress and block printing are such a beautiful art}

my dad even tried to convince the letterpress guys to sell us some equipment.
it didn't work out.
yet.

i thought it was really neat that the kids from UPS were screen printing material for free.
they did such a good job!

i brought some red bulk material and got red on red.
it looks great!
i still have no clue what i'm going to do with it though!

it was especially cool to see this design being sold on t-shirts at sonja later in the week!
gotta love the local support in tacoma!

i bought a ton of little gems in the form of greeting cards and posters
but my all time best purchase ever
was this..

i have admired old letterpress letters from afar for a very long time.
they are normally so stinking expensive even being near them costs you!

you can imagine my excitement when i saw a table with multiple sets for $10!
bodoni also happens to be one of my favorite typefaces (i know.. nerd!)
there were 2 or 3 italic and this little 10 point guy.
i almost cried.

i'm kicking myself for not buying all of them.
the type is pretty small and they do need to be cleaned up a bit...
but it's worth it!

you can tell they were well loved before i came along,
and you better believe i am planning on loving them just as much!
i have some projects in mind!!

remember this teeny tiny canvas i'm so in love with?

i bought 8 more.

maybe i should have tacoma's tiniest letterpress show when i'm done with them?
awesome.

okay, enough slacking.
back to sewing!
