Photo type posts were originally posted to Tumblr as this type so that the image would be prominent on the platform. These posts may or may not be primarily about that photo.


My Friday night was spent folded on the floor with Pamela, knitting our little fingers sore on pointy 3mm needles.

Someone from work asked me to make her a tadpole with fangs, and Pamela made a little bunny for her little girl, Mika. These creatures are so cute!

My workmate wanted to pay me for my efforts, which is nice – I spent more than the profit on more wool and bits to make more things. Fun! I’ve had a few people encourage me to sell them, but they take about three hours to make so really if I was to cover time and materials, they would be pretty costly. The tadpole’s adoption fee is $25, my first real commission!


“LetterMpress™ will be a virtual letterpress environment—released first on the iPad—that will allow anyone to create authentic-looking letterpress designs and prints.

The design process is the same as the letterpress process—you place and arrange type and cuts on a press bed, lock the type, ink the type, and print. You will be able to create unlimited designs, with multiple colors, using authentic vintage wood type and art cuts. And you can print your design directly from LetterMpress or save it as an image for import it into other applications.”

New Zealand design/type nerds-

I’m distributing LetterMpress for iPad in New Zealand on it’s launch day, and I have a small number of copies to give away.

If you didn’t back the project, but wish you had, drop me an email – I need to know your email address in order to grant you the app, you will need an ipad (obviously).

I’ll just pick a few people – so, bribery welcome 😉
