Hi Jill, thanks for the great suggestion on "Scent of Pine". I fiddled around with it and think it feels much stronger as a result.

Hi Ellis, Appreciate the feedback on Loyal Companions. If you get a sec, can you share 2 or 3 of your ideas for "more hand-drawn-looking fonts"? It would help me zero in. Thank you! (you have many fantastic submission!)

Ah, thank you so much, Jill! It didn't start as a chalkboard design, but I couldn't get colors in the flowers and type to work, so I threw in a chalkboard background as a last ditch effort to save the design. I'm officially a sell out ;)

Hey Jill! It was wondeful getting to meet you at the SF Meet-up - you're so lovely and funny! I only wished we had more time to chat (and maybe a quieter place too!) Keep enjoying your little kiddos and I hope to meet you again one day either over there, or maybe you can come to the NSS! Take care! Jen

Thanks, Meg! I've taken one class up in San Francisco a couple of years ago, and it was pure awesome. I have to get up there to take more soon. I appreciate your help! :)

hi Jill! Love your work! I got started in letterpress by taking a few courses. I'm sure you will be able to find a workshop in your area. Once I felt a little more educated, I looked on briarpress.org to find a press. Briarpress is the biggest and probably best online resource for letterpress. I print on a Chandler and Price Platen press, but there are lots of options. Things to consider are: studio space, what kinds of things are you printing, transporting the press, budget etc. You can email me at hellomoglea@gmail.com if you have more questions! xx-meg
