Wedding as Circus = amen

My heart jumped for joy when I saw that our dearly Emily of EmPrint Press printed these invitations. The wedding-as-circus concept is just so dead on.

Personalized Stationery

A letterpress artist recently got in touch about personalized stationery. I can't wait to see how these turn out when printed!

Sup at Frankie's 457

I just finished a fun menu for a couple hosting their reception at Frankie's 457 in Brooklyn. As much as I love working with paper there's something satisfying about scanning as well.

I was pleased to learn more about the US Postal Service Motto's origin...and to think I actually read Herodotus in college and missed this entirely. The image of horse and man is especially sweet...

	It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.
	HERODOTUS, Herodotus, trans. A.D. Godley, vol. 4, book 8, verse 98, pp. 96–97 (1924).

Dyeing Parachutes

I spent last weekend dyeing parachutes for the bridesmaids skirts. It was awfully gratifying. I have lots to say on this process if you decide you too are crazy enough to undertake it. Let's just say that ProChemical saved my life.

Thank you 100 Layer Cake!

100 Layer Cake was kind enough to post about Neither Snow. A wonderful surprise on a day with lots of "no's" and "it's very complicated's" and "certainly you can appreciate the difficulty of's".

welcome & hello

Thank you for visiting Neither Snow, and for your interest. This blog is about people making things with their hands, or with words, or people with exceptional vision. It will probably be about other things as well.
