I've been enchanted by Satsuma Press for a little while now. Artist Lynn Russell's letterpress stationery designs seem to define simple elegance.

I adore this quote from her website:

"Simplicity is an exact medium between too little and too much."
—Sir Joshua Reynolds

This morning I received an email from Lynn about some limited edition stationery sets (released today) that are a collaboration between her Portland, Oregon-based business and designer Lara Cameron of Kirin & Co, based in Melbourne, Australia.

Gorgeous. I love the mix of nature inspiration and crisp design.

The first three patterns – japanese tree, birch and treehouses – will be for sale beginning August 27th (today) on the Satsuma Press and Kirin & Co etsy shops.

These limited edition sets combine Lynn and Lara’s fondness for Japanese-influenced design and letterpress printing. The cards are printed on Crane’s 100% cotton lettra – a soft white, luscious paper that takes a deep, crisp impression. Inks were mixed by hand and each piece was printed with care on a Vandercook SP-15 by Lynn in her Portland studio. Every set is hand numbered – there are just 50 sets of five cards for each pattern, plus 25 sets with one of each.
