Asbestos Press

‘It all started with a screen printing kit from an art store and a dingy asbestos filled basement’
I first ran into Laura Edmisten at a DIY thing a few years back. She had just started silkscreening notecards and other ephemera. Today she’s conquered the local band scene and expanding outward (her business, not her). She does super cool, limited run screened cards, notebooks, tote bags. And posters. With more to come.
Check out her Etsy store here. Website here. MySpace here.
I never know where to say what I’m going to say but I think the present post is appropriate. Well it’s very simple actually, I find your blog very inspiring. I never commented before cause all I would say is: interesting, marvelous, delightful, great design… but if you don’t mind one word comments, I can start now : great clean oldstyle DIY feel.
Thank you Nathalie. Your post made my day.
I’m simply posting things I enjoy; and at the very least organizing them in a way that makes more sense than what typically runs thru my head. Comment anytime!
And
I also enjoy your blog a lot. :)
This really takes me back to the Imagewriter II days when 300 dpi laser printers and the smell of toner could not be avoided. Trying to push the envelope in design in those days, especially when you try to use photos in layout and have to literally wait an hour before it printed out and see nothing but postscript errors. To experience that and be able to take what you design and just print it out yourself through this screen process. The awe and marvel it brings back to a person who is standing there holding the finished product. This is what I call Design at Play. Makes you want to touch it, feel it, and smile with contentment at your own design. Thanks for sharing.
