I'm now officially selling letterpress items. I am setting up an Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/kkozelsky and have a new business Facebook page. Check out Kozelsky Press and give it a 'Like'! While you're there, feel free to swing on by KozelskyPhoto and give that a 'Like' as well to keep up to date with my projects.
I sold at my first art show over the weekend at Spin Cycle in association with Waldo Wildcrafts. I didn't have a great spot, but I think that in general it went pretty well. I brought the press with me and gave a couple of demonstrations during the afternoon. I'll definitely be hauling it to any shows I do in the future.
Here are a couple of shots of my setup:
Here are some frames from a recent family session up in Tallahassee. We spent a windy hour out on the Miccosukee Greenway and ended up with some nice captures. Next time we'll do it when the whether is a bit calmer :)
I've been letterpressing like crazy this week to get ready for Spin Cycle's local art show and sale on 12/18. Here's a sneak peek of some of the things I've been working on:
Here are some templates to choose from if you are hoping to get some photo cards out for the holiday this year. A nice variety of choices, I think! If you see something you like, just drop me a note. All text is customizable, so dates, names, holiday wishes can be altered. :)
For Thanksgiving last week, Citizens Co-op set up a special online ordering system so you could get fresh food for the holiday. I ordered two packs of local tempeh from Jose's tempeh and a bag of produce from Swallowtail Farms. Both have been excellent so far! The tempeh was cooked in onion and spices and has a very autumnal taste to it. The produce came in a wonderful bag. There were all kinds of goodies in there: turnips, sweet potatoes, salad greens, kale, arugula, fresh rosemary, purple bok choi, and so on. I used the turnips, sweet potatoes, and some of the rosemary in a lovely roasted root vegetable dish with some beets, onions, and carrots. I cooked down the greens for a veg version of southern greens, and I'm going to attack those salad greens for lunch today.
Swallowtail does run a CSA, so if you are interested in joining, please check them out at swallowtailcsa.com. CSA stands for community supported agriculture. If you join a CSA, you pay a flat fee directly to a farm, and they provide you with a box of a variety of fresh produce every week. Joining a CSA is a great way to support local foods and farmers, as well as a sure way to always have healthy, fresh produce on hand.
