Beth from 1canoe2 sent me a little note about 1canoe2’s latest project and I’m so glad she did….it’s adorable! It’s a fun paperkraft letterpress diorama small town DIY kit, complete with 3 little houses that you cut and fold and paste together. OMG, doesn’t that sound like fun?
Here’s a link to the kit for sale, which includes: one 9×12 sheet for the background; one 12×7 sheet that includes pieces for 3 houses, 7 trees, and 2 corner tabs. All the designs and illustrations are sketched by hand, turned into letterpress plates and then printed on a Chandler & Price Craftsman press (see some pics below of the printing).
One of these is on it’s way to me (thanks Beth & Carrie) and I’m going to put it together and display it on my window sill in my office.
