Here is the 2014 Letterpress calendar, entitled "The creative manifesto (For all those who dream of change or just want to enjoy life)." I'm not the author of all these inspirations sentences, but I wanted the group them to make a "manifesto" of my state of mind. Because creativity is my engine, and I want to share it.
Limited to 500 copies, the calendar it is composed of 13 cards printed on 700g color paper plane white frost. Each of the 20x14 cm card has its own color, referring to the season.
100 copies of the calendar are a "deluxe edition" and will come with painting edges, each one with a different color. This would be amazing !
This is a pre-sale, you can order the deluxe or normal edition, final calendar should be ready to be send early november. Every order done during the pre-sale stage will get a special extra item.
This is El calotipo, met this summer Zaragaosa which handles printing. We started the test prints to see the relief and quality of a large printing surface. The 700g paper is just incredible. Here are some pictures to make your mouth water!
I wanted also proposed the "Creative manifesto" as a wall sticker that can be read every day, on which we return in moments of doubt! I run at the same time three new stickers, you will recognize the sources : Let love rule, Help & The bright side of life.

It was exactly one year ago today that we arrived in Bali to move there for several months. This was the beginning of an amazing creative adventure. I started the project "wood letters" a few weeks before, during our first visit to the country, and I could see the letters on my return. There I developed a 3td collection (wood + recycled metal) in collaboration with "Mr. Eka", drinking super sweet "bali kopi" !
Today, there are a few letters left, but it is difficult to compose words as it was the case when the whole alphabets werre available. If you are like me, I never liked (and so one been good) at playing Scrabble, so it is hard for me to compose words when some letters are missing ... Seeing the success of wood blocks last week (sold out in less than 24 hours) I now offer you words...
COLLECTION 3 : Wood + recycled metal
Collection 1 : recycled teck
Collection 2 : raw suar wood
It also remains the numbers and I wanted to use them to decorate my new office. And frankly, it does great ! The Raw wood letters are really light and are easy to fix with some home decoration glue.
My cat is not for sale, but he really wants to be on the picture...
You can always buy the letters to the unit but few are available : Collection 1 - Recycled Teck, Collection 2 - Raw Wood, Collection 3 - Wood + Recycled Metal.
some pictures of the "making of".

I discovered so many shops and chraftsmen who sell their own products that selecting one a month is too limited. So instead I offer a selection of all the shops I follow recently and for which I appreciate the approach, mindset, with whom I share a love of beautiful things.

The SALE on Wood products continue at -40% for another week, before August new projects ! I was looking for a way to show which of the wood letters are now sold out... I know it limitate the words composition, hope you can found what you want ! Some people are mixing collection, good idea too !
Do not forget you get a free letter if you order more than 4... 5 to 8 letters : 1 free letter / 9 to 12 letters : 2 free letters / 13 to 15 letters : 3 free letters / More than 15 letters : 4 free letters
Collection 1 / Teck recycled wood
Sold out letters : G . L . M . N . O . R . S . T . Y . 3 / 11,4€ instead of 19€
Collection 2 / raw suar wood
Sold out letters : A . C . E . H . K . L . M . R . W / 10,2€ instead of 17€
Collection 3 / raw wood + recycled metal
Sold out letters : M . R . Z . & / 12€ instead of 20€
Also, I figure out I never share the catalog I have done for the wood products made in Bali... I done it earlier in january, at this time the 3td collection was not finished ! But I guess it could interest you. Here comes some pages presenting the "makinf of" the wood letters and the wood holder (which is at 53,4€ instead of 89€ for the coming days only ;).
