It’s time for the holidays! And so with the holiday season comes the time to send off your holiday cards (please don’t send holiday emails, unless they’re to complement your paper holiday card). Claudette the Press has been hard at work printing ours this season.
Papillon Press is introducing our first holiday cards. These two designs are originals, illustrated by yours truly (Joel and Chantal), printed in 3-colours on our favourite 100% cotton Crane Lettra. They also come with lovely coordinating light blue envelopes. You can order single cards, a 6-pack of each or an assorted 6-pack (of both cards).
Chantal and I took in an afternoon checking out the many amazing vendors at the One of a Kind show in Toronto last weekend. The show is huge and there were so many great booths and products for sale. We zigzagged through the aisles from A-Z and spent a good amount of time sampling chocolates, cookies, sauces and many other delicious foods before continuing our shopping.
We thought we would share a few of our favorites from the show, which runs until December 6th.
We came across these great etchings and engravings from Richard Metzger: www.richardmetzger.com

Chantal recognized this vendor from having bought from her three years ago at another show. She creates beautiful Victorian and Art Nouveau jewelry: www.circa1890.com

I ran into a very talented artist and sculptor who I recognized from our days at Sheridan College in the illustration program. I really love Gosia’s sculptures of interesting faces mounted on frames or wall hangings that include hooks for your key chains or jewelry: www.gosia.ca

Chantal and I were wowed by the sculptural landscapes of New York City and Chicago. Created from weathered plywood, the landscapes are built up three dimensionally to create really impressive pieces: www.heatherkocsis.com
