During the holidays, when the visual environment goes into overdrive with Christmas decorations and products overflow shelves, there is a need for subtlety and calm. For a few of recipients these came in the form of Keiji’s holiday card, a ornamentally sophisticated letterpress card that is blind letterpresses on nice, thick, white paper.
In recent years “white” has been the theme for my holiday card. It is the color of snow and also of paper. I always love ideas of using a subtle beauty of paper texture. In addition, since it was right after my first participation in a letterpress workshop, I decided to create a holiday card with a nice dent, like snow foot tracks. I could see that I would realize my idea with blind letterpressing.
Photographing this card was a challenge for us, which points to the fact that this card has to be seen (and touched!) to be fully appreciated. And we just love the concept of blind letterpressing as “snow foot tracks.”
