The Silver LiningFox & Rabbit + Type Hype turn 1!
I’ve long been an ardent admirer of the marvellously and perfectly undone floral arrangements created by Rebecca from Fox & Rabbit. I’ve even had the pleasure of attending one of her workshops and seeing her in full flight. Like many wondrously creative people, she seems to ponder for a little while, then after finding that sparkle of inspiration, makes a few quick deft movements, maybe a couple of little revisions, then steps back to reveal a work of sheer delight, equal parts beauty, wildness and artful precision. Talents like these are few and far between.
Lately, I’d also been hearing murmurings of a new letterpress company, Type Hype, and seen some great work around, such as at the Kinfolk gathering earlier in May this year. The independent little company is run by Daniel and specialises in bespoke wedding and personalised stationery, and now also sports a smattering of impressively cool greeting cards that say heartfelt things like, “Rain or shine I will love you” and “Hola muchacho”!
Now what’s even cooler is that Dan and Bec are actually married to each other and share a workspace in Leederville on the Oxford Street stretch! Imagine how creative their kids are gonna be! They’ll be all-singing, all-dancing, all-letterpressing! On Friday night, we had great fun celebrating their studio’s first birthday and got to meet Dan’s new (but over 100 year old) letterpress machine. Admittedly, they currently have a love-hate relationship after Dan’s arduous six month-long restoration of the machine, but there’s no denying she’s a real beauty.
Much love and best wishes to the cute-as pair! We’re watching with bated breath to see what you come up with next and know it will be truly splendid.
