so. i've always been absolutely infatuated with
seesaw letterpress. the simple prints, the amazing colour combos (love the grey and yellow on the notecards below).
but in visiting their
blog today, i came upon
bittersweet news - they are all going their seperate ways.
The three designers responsible for seesaw press for the past 4 years - Angela Hardison, Raquel Raney, and Lindsay Tingstrom - are all working on their own adventures.
there comes a time in a creative persons life, at which they must decide where to go from here. i don't think it's specific to a lifetime of creativity, but i do feel as though it's much more challenging to put down something you've started from scratch, and move forward without any sadness.

| the lovely ladies of seesaw press |
the ladies put it quite eloquently though:
"
We have some bittersweet news today. After over four great years of design and blogging at SeeSaw, we have decided to go our separate ways and explore new opportunities. This is a big change, but we're excited for what's in store. We have loved sharing our inspiration here, and will always be grateful for the connections we've made with all of you. A huge thanks to our clients, readers and sponsors for the support over the years. It's not quite goodbye though! We hope you'll follow each of us in our new adventures"
with parting ways, come new oppourtunities, and the chance to use the ideas and skills that you've gained from collaboration, on new adventures, more specific and precise to your passions.
what am i, therefore, excited for?
angela hardison's
design consulting: her website is being built, and the main page alone appeases me in so many ways. angela blogs so beautifully
here - and she's pregnant! her design perspective is so much enjoyed by many... her eye for colour, lines, design, and combinations are incredible. you'll love her. i promise. (plus, she's one of the cutest pregnant women i've ever seen).
Raquel Raney's design website: Raquel is teaming up with Rebeca to work on a design project. and listen. if her design work can be predicted by her incredible
blogging on her website.... i. can't. wait.
