This June was quite a whirlwind of a month. Whew. Moving two very heavy letterpresses is not easy nor cheap! But we are almost ready to share some photos…lights are up and painting is almost done! I’m still not sure if this was the right move but so far I really haven’t had any regrets. Yay for change!
Lark Press retail will be closing it's doors mid-June
After 14 years, Lark Press, the retail shop will close mid-June, 2019. But we will still be stocking our cards at lovely shops in Portland, Oregon and other cities around the US. So please! go to our stockist page and see where you can find our cards. And of course, we will be selling Lark cards and other letterpress printed stuffs online.
rainy day inspiration
Did you know? Portland tends to have a few rainy days during the winter💧. So where can a person go to escape the winter blues? Japan! Sort of. Portland has one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan. Beautiful, fluffy green moss. Lovely streams meandering thru rocks and, uh, more lovely moss. One thing missing? People! And sometimes you may witness … a surprise sun break!
e.e. cummings
dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)
trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)
honour the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death
away at this wedding)
never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for god likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)
e e cummings
Calendar 2019
Just finishing up the 2019 Lark Press calendar. I didn’t make one last year so decided to go all-out this year with watercolor AND letterpress! And I’m wishing I could spend all my work time dreaming up projects like this one… both art mediums are so satisfying.
