go ahead say it.

This is:. once upon a time. in my imagination.

Pakorn:. pondering. check back soon.

count down to eleven.

This is:. forget christmas 'cos it's new year. Holiday cards, letterpress using split ink fountain technique. Wooden block type forming a christmas tree and Glamour typeface with charming brackets, 4.5" x 6.7" on Fabriano single cards and envelopes. Limited edition, 50. 

Pakorn:. "Christmas is over rated" –yep, I said it. And New Year is so 'in'. The concept is to have the least amount of Christmas/Holiday color as possible so I chose this nice 'grass green' gradation with a peachy blush orange. Such a breath of fresh air. In addition, there is no Christmas or those dreadful looking forever stamps here! Just a chic "Abstract Expressionist" stamps series (circa 2009). Can't wait for a fresh new year. Oh and btw, happy hanukkah, merry christmas, merry/happy kwanzaa... whatever you celebrate I hope you have a blast!

buff day.

This is:. happy buff-day. Pop-up birthday cards, made from vivid color crafts paper.

Pakorn:. This item was picked up B4 the rain storm [at the Walking St.] I constantly looked for some sort of greeting card in thailand because it's so much more reasonably priced. I was in awed when I found these, it reminded me of my third grade class project, but cut with much more precision and care. Okay, they might have used a die, but I would like to think that there was a lot of hand work involved--still! Besides, I couldn't resist the color combo of choco/orange, neon yellow/blue, vivid pink/purple, and much more 80's inspire color. Scrumptious colors for my eyes! Who has a birthday coming up--raise your hand?

This-n-that:. Notice the BG. I am so into bows nowadays, and it's not because it's the holiday. Ohhh, and the gold and silver bows are so janky it's fabulous!

mr. & mrs.

This is:. mr. and mrs. Thank you--letterpress cards using Glamour, and Bulmer Italic 5.12" x 6.7" on Fabriano paper and envelopes. With a 'sweet' heart dingbat and wonderful brackets. Using the brides theme color for the wedding, aqua blue. Delivered to them in a customized blue box.

Pakorn:. For my cousin's wedding in Arizona on July 31st, I decided to make them thank you cards. I was trying to visualize how/what to make them and I thought of this simple idea of using the Mister and Misses theme. This is super elementary but I felt that it expressed a pretty strong message regarding their commitment. This card was made with love, customized with care, and simply yummy! Congrats to the bride and groom.

This-n-that:. Diamond and Blue Spinel Ring, Edwardian Era (circa 1901-20)
Found and brought this in an antique shop about two year ago, I just couldn't resisted the old mind cut diamond and what looks like blue sapphires are actually the rare blue spinel. It was a pretty good deal too, that's when the economy was starting to tank and no one was buying, lucky I guess? It's exquisite, these pictures doesn't do it justice.

b-day young.

this is:. b-day young. Letterpress doily birthday card using Jensen and Tiffany Shade then hand sewn on to a 5.5" x 8.5" chipboard in an A9 5.75" x 8.75" leaf color envelopes.

Pakorn:. One of my favorite project and also one of my first project in letterpress. Wanting to push the envelope and experiment with something that could not come out of my printer. I shopped, and shopped for material that I could print on and came up with these amazing doily. With much work and help from Denise Figueredo of Figgy Press this project came out 'B'eautiful. Not to mention the amazing quote that I stumbled upon.

u suck on this.

this is:. u suck on this. Letterpress, special occasion card with various wood types and Universe 14pts. Printed an A6 4.62" x 6.25" folded cards superfine soft white in 4.75" x 6.25" with fuchsia, papaya, and moss color envelopes.

Pakorn:. Can you imagine receiving this in the mail. Well, i can... and I love it! You suck, and I mean it in the best possible way. Why, does this term have to be so negative? I am sure you have one of those friends, love one, or even nemesis that you would just love to hate. Especially, those that have such great ideas that you wish you thought of it first-- you know those kind of people. So the next time someone said this to you, just take it as a compliment.

Oh, and I also included a card for those that just plain sucks. And we know we have a few of those people too.
