As a newly minted collective of like-minded creative individuals, the ladies at Parliament of Owls created a set of three holiday cards, with each member designing their own card. From top to bottom, you can see Ariana's dinner, Meg's "Piggy 5000", and Lauren's meat-cut deer. While each card has its own flavor, no pun intended, they are all united by the vibrant and merry color palette that has been deeply letterpressed into the thick Lettra stock.

I love love love it! Great layout, great typography, and a great sense of humor. I particularly liked the label on the pig machine: "Cheer / Mirth / Glee / Pie." Brilliant.

Hooray Parliament, and hooray Cranky Pressman, who produce FPO-worthy jobs day in and day out.

The three illustration styles and twisted senses of humor go together perfectly. Love it. (And I love the name "Parliament of Owls.")

Piggy 5000. *hee* Great stuff.

[Test Comment, Ignore Me]

This is really great work. What a perfect way to show off design talents. This project shows not only that all three women are creative, but that they know how to be creative within constraints.

These are great. They have a Scandinavian feel to them. My favorite part is that you get the message by following the workings of the machine. Nice touch.

they were kind of enough send me one... so pretty!
