ANY FOOL CAN WORK, Greeting Card by Bremelo Press
So pleased to be recognized in the new book The Ladies of Letterpress by Alexandria Symonds in T Magazine.
This spring, opt out of buying yet another copy of “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” for the recently minted college grad in your life — she’s sure to receive at least three. Instead, give the new book from Jessica C. White and Kseniya Thomas, the founders of the international trade organization Ladies of Letterpress You may get a befuddled “Thanks?” in response, until you explain that the oversize book contains 86 detachable poster pages, with plenty of prints ideal for decorating the walls of those brand-new, grown-up starter apartments.The posters included run the gamut: pretty and girly (Campbell Raw Press’s gorgeous rendering of Walt Whitman’s “Warble for Lilac-Time”); graphic and abstract (Joey Hannaford’s ombre “Converge II” print); tongue-in-cheek (Gilah Press + Design’s hipster fox); handy (Concrete Lace’s seasonal eating guide, perfect for a tiny kitchen); and, for those in need, inspirational (Mink Letterpress’s print of Max Ehrmann’s very Zen prose poem “Desiderata,” the Hungry Workshop’s exuberant “Stay Hungry” design). I’d package the book with a couple of 11-by-14-inch frames and the gentle suggestion that it’s time to replace the tattered, Blu-Tacked Che Guevara and Warhol banana posters — and perhaps, if your grad isn’t easily offended, a bookmark at page 23, where she’ll find Bremelo Press’s print reading “ANY FOOL CAN WORK.”

Read moreSheila Strobel
While Sheila and I talked over tea, we realized there was important design history in her family to share on her business card and stationary. Sheila's father Tom Strobel is known for his op art of the 1960's and early '70's. We wanted to re-create this history in the design. As we were working, Sheila asked if she could have an exclamation mark in her name. We found an Alpa-Blox sort and a circle ornament, and made one. Hand set type leads to interesting solutions we wouldn't have thought of on our own. It's the best collaborator and I love it when a good conversation starts an adventure in the print studio.
Read moreIngrid and Michael
I commend Michael for not saying no to pink. These wedding invitations for Ingrid and Michael are some of the favorite invitations I have made. I love the bold choices and modern look, but printed in classic tradition using vintage hand set type and working with a 109 year old printing press.
Read moreMauri and Matt
Wedding invitations for Mauri and Matt made with vintage hand set type from our collection here at Bremelo Press. Hand set and printed by the bride and groom. When everything was set, printed and the envelopes lined, we put the invitation together with a beautiful ribbon. That's when Mauri said 'It's better than I imagined'. And that friends, is why I do what I do.
Read moreBritta and John
Britta and John's families have such grace and style. Britta's mother and I collaborated on the invitation and I loved taking those elements and putting them to paper. Britta's mother gave me a thoughtful gift after I printed the invitations, and when I look at it today, I am reminded that when you commit to something with intention, it is lasting.
