Thirty-Three Pounds of Epic-Win.



From a recent phone conversation I had with one of my favorite paper-makers, Samantha, at Porridge Papers:

Me: So, you remember that huge box of custom seeded paper you made for us that you wrote "33 lbs. of Awesome" on the outside of?
Samantha: Yeah.
Me: Well, I've finally finished the project that we needed thirty-three pounds of paper for. Let me tell you, it's pretty much awesome. I mean, the paper it's printed on is, in and of itself, thirty-three pounds of awesome...
Samantha: So, now that it's printed, it's like, Thirty-Three Pounds of Epic-Win, right?!?
Me: Yeah. Exactly.

So, why am I sharing this all with you? I had posted about the awesome box of paper we received from Porridge Papers a few weeks ago here, and I'm totally excited to say, that the project the paper was for (which was the largest, most complex, project I've ever taken on, to date) is finished! And it is, truly, 33 lbs. of epic-win. This project is the reason I've been so absent from blogging the past several days, but trust me folks, it was worth it! Below are some sneak-peak photos of the booklets that were created for this project (220 of them in all). They are truly wonderful, I'm totally proud, and the lovely bride that they were created for in upstate New York, was pretty ecstatic as well! I'm going to be sharing more with you on this project in a day or two, but I just had to give you a teaser for tonight. Cheers!
