Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." He was right. To write means to put pieces of yourself down into paper. I say into paper rather than onto paper because these pieces must permeate the surface and bind with the threads. It is only with each drop of blood on the page that you can make way for new cell growth within yourself. You replenish so you can bleed again.

This card is hand-printed on a vintage Kelsey Excelsior 3x5 press with 12 pt. Bodoni lead type and an antique magnesium cut. The paper is slightly textured and is made from 100% cotton; it is tree-free, acid free (archival), and elemental chlorine free. The ink is rubber-based.

Size: 3.5" x 4.75"
Paper weight: 118 lbs
Inside: Blank
Includes: Brown envelope made from recycled material and a plastic sleeve

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding this product or others.
Will combine shipping on multiple items.

While I always make and print the best items I can, each card is hand-printed so there will be individual variation. The differences are very minute, but if you have any concerns about this please let me know.
