143 = I love you.
The 143 statement is a nod to 90's "pager code" (a numeric code created to send messages using numbers assigned to represent letters of the alphabet). Send a notecard to someone you love to tell them "143."
INK // red + black (blank inside)
STOCK // bright white lightweight card stock with matching white envelope
SIZE // 5" x 3.5"
EDITION // 20
PRESS // Each card was hand presses on a antique Chandler & Price Pilot letterpress using vintage wood type.
PROCESS // Letterpress is a tedious and labor intensive process that utilizes hand mixed inks and involves hand feeding each sheet, one at a time. Sure, slight variations in color, registration and impression may occur. Because of the nature of this process, no two prints will be exactly alike. **That's what makes them so special.
