This is gorgeous.
The lines, the weight, the flow. Mesmerizing.

Guilty Pleasure - Letterpress

Letterpress printing is relief printing of text and image using a press with a "type-high bed" printing press and movable type, in which a reversed, raised surface is inked and then pressed into a sheet of paper to obtain a positive right-reading image.

While I have always been a huge fan of this art, typography, and paper products in general -- my love has blossomed into full fledged obsession since getting enagaged!

Specifically, letterpressed coasters... BEAUTIFUL! what a great, cute idea. 

Here are some of my favorites! 

        

 Robot Coasters                                                                   Type Collage

     

  Mustaches                                                                           Jane Austen

  All things round

      

Thank you coasters                                                 Eat, Drink, Be Married!

Have a beautiful day!
