In July, I joined a group of Orlando area creative professionals for a meet-up hosted by Anna Bond of
Rifle Design. Please visit Trisha Hay's
blog for a great summary of the day. She's the one who brought us all together.
Anna arranged for a tour of
Mama's Sauce Print Shoppe, where we got a good feel of what they do and how the shoppe runs. One of the gals, Fiona of
Anavi Ink, who is thinking about having the edges of her business cards colored, was curious about my gilding capabilities, and later let Nick of Mama's Sauce know that edge decoration is in my bookbinding arsenal.
Nick got in touch a few weeks later, and voil
à, about 600 business cards with colored edges! These cards belong to Chris Heavener, the editor of
Annalemma, a very cool literary and arts magazine. Head over to Chris's blog for a
post about the original printing of these cards, and a
post featuring some process photos of the edge coloring.
