baby steps towards...



close up view of letterpress invitation designed and printed at Black Pearl Press

3 golding pearl presses manufactured in boston between 1904 & 1916

There's this dream I have of owning a small design studio & letterpress print shop (ie: Black Pearl Press). :) 
I've decided baby steps = how I'm going to make this happen! 
Weekly...you can find me looking at the classifieds of the briarpress.org (notice the link on the sidebar!) hoping to find a golding pearl tabletop press for sale within driving distance to pickup. 
Daily...my head is filled up with design ideas...too many that I often wonder, why can't we have more hours in the day to get them all done or even started!? Maybe this will explain these LATE night posts...the kids are asleep and the creative energy is going...
Black Pearl Press represents a piece of this dream I have....
p.s. I love my sleep too!..i definitely need more of it! :)

Elisa, you would be amazing at something like this. You are so talented. I'm not sure where Josh got his glasses, but I saw some like them at Target. They are so fun.
