cute letterpress, original woodcuts and hand water colored stationery from oregon artist carye bye for her company, red bat press. chinese tradition says that bats are symbols of good fortune, and the color red provides protection from misfortune.

i am nuts about that bike haiku set. twenty sheets, in four colors, are pressed with four original haikus (taken from the bike parking area at peninsula park commons in portland) and come complete with ten envelopes.

very fun!

find lots more sweet things at the red bat website. haiku set also available at mixtgoods.
