wow – linoleum block prints of gannets. who’d a thunk they’d be so amazing and special…
I knew Marnie was making her thank you cards for the wedding gifts she and Tom received. So I knew they’d be way cooler than anything I would’ve ever thought of. Sure enough, my card arrived today. And this concludes the wedding posts!
even the BACK of the envelope is cool
remember the papier mache gannets she hung from the tent rafters? here they are again.
lovely graceful words on the right, out of sight, but look at her drawings of the dress and the shawl. she's always done this.
She specializes in artist’s books, letterpress, and hand-carved woodblock and linoleum prints. Her favorite is the artist’s book, I think. But if you like her style, she has an etsy shop – MonkeyRope Press. There might be a little gift for anyone who gets the reference in her store’s name. I’m just saying. Support artists! I know I’m preaching to the choir, with this crowd, but still.

What a lovely card (and envelope)! I love letterpress…I’m going to check out Marnie’s shop right. this. minute.
Moby Dick!
On her own blog, yarnpiggy just wrote a post titled..Relationship status- its complicated
DING DING DING!!! Yeah! Moby Dick! Marnie and I both love that book. Great catch – and thanks for checking Marnie’s shop. I love her work, and not just because I’m her mom.
Um, yeah, I might have just purchased a few prints! Your daughter is unbelievably talented. (I figure I will frame the shipwreck series and give them to my husband to put in his office — he’s a psychologist, as well (clinical, not social, though). I hope the clients don’t find the shipwreck theme too depressing…)
