island crush: pacific impressions
happy may day wherever you may be! my love affair with vintage maps has been well documented on h|h along with my paper crush on pretty letterpress goods. so you can imagine my delight when i happened across the loveliest letterpress map featuring the hawaiian islands.
and it's printed in turquoise ink!
{sigh}
the etsy shop of quail lane press woos with hand drawn illustrations of seaside locales (the lost art of cartography just happens to be a hobby of the designer) impressed on a vintage vandercook press. each print is then carefully tinted with watercolor for an extra helping of handmade sweetness.
limited edition and only 75 will be printed so hele over to peek our part of the pacific in all its glory.
$45 online.
p.s. a chocolate print is also offered if you prefer a more subdued design.
