Letterpress, hand-set metal type
4" x 6"

This haiku card utilizes ornaments cast at the C.C. Stern Type Foundry, once again playing with pattern and alignment. Designed using two metallic inks just slightly different in shade, so the effect is a subtle color shift that recalls the delights of a snowy sky.

Created for a winter ephemera exchange, printed in two colors. Ornaments are 18pt. Monotype 26, type is hand set Monotype Caslon.
