Old Maid cards arriving......
Hi Ladies,
So the Old maid card exchange (started here at Ladies of Letterpress) is finishing up and the cards are arriving each day. They are amazing! Honestly I knew the cards would be good, but they are amazing. I am posting the cards as they come in, several each day. You can see them at blackbirdletterpress.tumblr.com. If I can get caught up on work I'll post some of the cards here as well. It's been great and… Continue

Old Maid card deck protfolio exchange- last chance
Hi there,
Now that the NSS is over, and everybody is settling into the summer...... Ladies of Letterpress, we need YOU!
Think about joining a fabulous group and participate in the Old Maid card deck exchange. There are SO many great printers out there. Come join the fun. The finished deck can travel and be shown at galleries etc. It will be shown for sure in September here in my strange town of Baton Rouge (but we get some good art lovers that come out). And of course each… Continue

Old Maid card deck-portfolio exchange- Call for participants
Old Maid card set- portfolio exchange
This is an invitation to participate in the Old Maid card set- portfolio exchange-Ladies style. I've wanted to put together an exchange since the Ladies of Letterpress started. And after consulting with some other fine printers (thanks, Rebecca), here goes.
Remember "Old Maid", the card game where you discard pairs of cards and hope you don't end up with the lone card, Old Maid? Well here's our chance to put our own take on the game… Continue
