a foil stamping workroom

​Here are some behind-the-scenes look into a foil stamping shop in Los Angeles that has been in business for over 50 years. There's nothing cute and frilly about this place. No cute papers and design oriented trinkets. It's all down to business here- machines, stacks of paper, untidy corners, and rolls of foil.  Honestly, I didn't know very much about the process until I had this opportunity to hang out, snap some photos and shop talk.

It's up and posted!
I can't tell you enough how excited I am about this feature!

Emma approached me about a Lovely Lady spot shortly after I printed our first project together. (Check out her business cards here)  Soon after, it turned into a studio tour complete with all the construction mayhem. My initial reaction: "A video? At my place? But there are people hammering and making all kinds of noise upstairs." Somehow, the story folded in all together- the house, my dog , the press and my story.

Wade Koch  pulled out all the stops with his camera and endured hours of editing to get this just right. His eye and his storytelling through a lens is amazing.  

Thank you Emma Robertson for making this happen!! And all this time you were just down the same street!​


Sit back and take an intimate look into my studio...
