Silverplate Press: February 2012
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
February 15, 2012. You make me happy. I hope you had a lovely day yesterday with your sweetie-pies. I didn't have that much time with Justin for Valentine's Day this year. (he had a class to go to for most of the evening), but we're those lucky few that commute together on the subway (or bicycles) everyday, so I just cherished those moments, plus we had a quick dinner before he rushed off. Have you ever done that? Mixed ink by weighing it? Posted by Amanda Keenan. February 9, 2012. Rough Paper test print.

Silverplate Press: Thanks a bunch!
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2012/12/thanks-bunch.html
December 17, 2012. There's only a week left before the holidays begin and I'm so excited to kick back and relax for a couple of weeks! The last little while has been super busy in the studio and this week isn't any different. There are lots of last minute printing jobs that I'd like to get done. like my holiday cards for instance! I'm off to print my holiday cards. wish me luck that I don't crash from this sugar-high that has been rampaging the office! Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season so far!

Silverplate Press: September 2012
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
September 5, 2012. Please excuse my absence. Summer has treated me well, but I am back. hopefully to add some letterpress inspiration to your life. Summer is for unwinding, letting your hair down and walking bear-foot through the sand. It's for dinner's outside, and late-night campfires with friends and also a time to dream about what things will be like. In the summer months, I like to spend time to just be. This seems right inline with what Kinfolk magazine. Has been writing about. Kinfolk. For Print O...

Silverplate Press: June 2012
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
June 21, 2012. I am ridiculously in love with this little bundle of pure joy. I'm probably going to be that crazy aunt that will try to teach letterpress to an infant, and the alphabet with woodtype. But for now I will just print my little heart out for him. because he can't say to me yet that it's so not cool. I designed and printed this. For my sister-in-law and her husband, (. Hey Dani and Jay! 8211; the coolest parents on the block for sure! Posted by Amanda Keenan. June 14, 2012. June 6, 2012. After...

Silverplate Press: Sandi & Nick's wedding invitation workshop
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2012/12/sandi-nicks-wedding-invitation-workshop.html
December 13, 2012. Sandi and Nick's wedding invitation workshop. Back in the summer, I helped out my very amazing friends Sandi and her (now) husband Nick with letterpress printing their wedding invites. It was a full-day extravaganza and was basically an all-day letterpress workshop. complete with some paper cutting, ink mixing, polymer aligning, caliper measuring for accuracy and general letterpress finessing. The invites turned out amazing! It was the first time that I printed on French Paper. Print f...

Silverplate Press: The Press Story
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/p/amanda-and-her-letterpress.html
At Silverplate Press, I print in a vintage fashion, using heavy duty equipment from the turn of the 20. Century, hand-made wood and lead type, hand-mixed ink, using time, patience, a keen eye for perfection and a whole lot of love. The results often leaves a deep impression in a sheet of paper that you can feel – this is unique to letterpress printing and gives your special piece a recognizable premium result. About a month later we moved into an old toy factory. one of the few left in the city that ...

Silverplate Press: April 2013
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
April 3, 2013. Letting the dust settle down. Even though it's been quiet here, it's been the complete opposite for me outside of the internet. I'm busy trying to finish up a few last letterpress projects before my life has a complete make-over. For starters, in a little under a month, Justin and I will be moving into our first real house! And it worked for us. Maybe he was just a good luck charm, but somehow in the span of about a week we found IT! Posted by Amanda Keenan. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Silverplate Press: Woodgrain Save the Dates
http://silverplatepress.blogspot.com/2013/01/woodgrain-save-dates.html
January 25, 2013. Woodgrain Save the Dates. This last little while has been busy to say the least! A note for printing on kraft paper, however, colours absorb easily in this kind of paper, so the orange for instance turned out darker than what I had hoped. I'll be doing some test prints on kraft to see if I could somehow "brighten" it up for next time. I'm looking forward to finishing the design and printing for the rest of this wedding suite. Stay Tuned for more. Posted by Amanda Keenan.
