wedding invitation :)

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

oh that is neat Renee. Did you draw that yourself? I'm pretty bad at intrepreting art (I have never been artsy in any aspect of my life) so forgive me for asking such a question but does it symbolize anything in particular - like an aspect of their relationship?

Renee · Kenneth Cole

Thanks!! Yes, I drew a sketch and then I made a block print. I wanted to play on their Hebrew names - her name means 'star' and his means 'light'. The rooster is thus a symbolic transition from starry nighttime to light. Just to give a better idea, the photo below has the soft block I carved and some of the tools.

kate · BCBG

your sister is very lucky!

Oh neat. I love that idea and your thought behind the invitation.

yay, hello fellow printmaker! i'm more into screen printing than block printing, but i can really appreciate your craft and the time and love that goes into really, really handmaking something.

i hope your sister-in-law loves it!
