We spent the weekend producing a number of pieces, including this one for the APA bundle. The text is a quote from writer Christian Morgenstern, set in 18pt Goudy. The snazzy, modernist ranch is a cut we picked up at Dave Churchman's place. We tried a couple different approaches for how to add a second color to the composition, finally deciding to use a rubber stamp with a mask. We temporarily covered the house with glossy card stock, then hand stamped away, creating the radiant glow.Paper is Crane Lettra (110#, pearl white); type is handset lead; 3.67" x 4.25"
I should have guessed that a creative guy like you would come up with an unconventional way of getting the job done. I like the design concept and also the message. Nice use of other art technology, albeit not quite state-of-the-art, but then again, more modern than the letter press.
