This is the weekend for the invites. The weekend of the flowing creative juices. The weekend of actually getting it all done. The weekend of packing a lot of craftiness into about 30 invitations and crossing our fingers that they are at least a little cute. I’m aiming more for fun than anything else.
Here is the insanity process:
- Handmade recycled paper from our junk mail embedded with wildflower seeds
- Creation of a stamp of the four friends to transfer to a block
- Carving of a linoleum block image of the four friends
- Drinking some wine
- Braying water-based print ink then transferring to paper
- Writing the text
- Attaching the pages … handsewing
- More wine
- Wrapping in brown paper
- Sending out
- Celebrating with some wine
Wish us luck!
I’m sure they are going to turn out beautiful—just like everything you create! 🙂
